@ValerieAnne1970 If research existed & should have been made available to the people PAYING to study research as it attains to human health & disease, why are the doctors paying for expensive education that provides “fake news” and being ridiculed publicly for following the standards of care?

Being trauma aware in your friendships includes extending grace and compassion for the diminished capacity of those who are overwhelmed even when they don’t say it or look like it.

Just a reminder that we are still in a pandemic and people have invisible loads.

@DGlaucomflecken This is so accurate.

This morning on the elevator two older women were talking about how wonderful it was to be retired, and I wanted to cry because that seems impossible right now and I’m so tired. Please be kind to healthcare workers - we’re not okay. ❤️

@DGlaucomflecken Funny how this doesn’t really change much after residency …..

Why do we always have to try and prove that working 30 hours in a row harms patients? Is it not enough that it harms the doctors?

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

If we wanted to get serious vs B.1.1.7
—get N95/K95 masks to all and enforce their use
—get rapid home testing big supply to each household for daily use
—amp up digital, mobility, genomic and wastewater surveillance 100X
—vaccinate 24/7 like it's an emergency. Because it is.

SINK IN: All these healthcare workers can’t celebrate holidays this year—thousands of doctors & nurses have died from #COVID19 on the front lines.

Maybe think of them and their families before you celebrate your Thanksgiving. in a dangerous manner.

#COVID19

[U.S. Surgeon General @Surgeon_General]

Hard truths: 49/50 states with increasing cases, 34 in red or orange zones (ie significant rise).

Record cases over the past week will be record hospitalizations soon.

Our/ YOUR communities and hospitals simply can not sustain high level care at this rate of increase.

📍NEW: Chilling video of El Paso jail inmates hired to move bodies of #COVID19 deceased patients into mobile overflow morgues. Inmates wear full PPEs & paid $2/hour. They’ve been doing this tough work since Monday, before El Paso increased to 10 mobile morgues. I cry for El Paso.

[US HCWs Lost to Covid19 @CTZebra]

Amber Vasquez, 34yo RN, Dallas, TX, died of #covid19 complications 11/5. She fought for her life since May, but finally went home on hospice as her body was irreversibly damaged. She was beyond lovable, smart, and friendly. #healthcareheroes #WearAMask
