#July1st also is the day my patient - who lost her ability to walk due to critical illness polyneuropathy from #COVID19 - also loses her health insurance from work, since she can’t work. 😢

treated my first ICU patient on ECMO today and i very much enjoyed the perfusionist, RT, nurses and me all cheering on a minimally alert human #thelittlethingsareactuallybigthings

Big News! July is #DisabilityPrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈♿️ #MedTwitter, let's bring our language up to speed: ✅People do not "suffer" from their disabilities ✅Disabilities are not "tragic" ✅People are not "bound" to their wheelchairs When you see this language, call it out as #Ableism

this was my google photos memory of the day. being on the other side is SWEEET! good luck to all taking the NPTE next week ❤️💃🏻🥰

It's wild reading stuff written by Physical Therapists stating that our profession has no issues with race. Our profession is 95+% white, people of color have so many barriers to our services. Just because we never let the KKK have a booth at CSM doesn't mean we're not racist.

I’ve had multiple trauma patients on the thoracic ICU…not because they have related injuries…but because there’s literally no room for them on our trauma unit. also to note: our trauma unit is in surge. there’s covid everywhere. my heart goes out to all HCPs because i am tired.

hey Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez !! just 3 Boston University kids wanting you to join us on our next backpacking trip! :)

when are we going to stop begging people to choose vaccination and hold our government accountable for enforcing mandates? we’ve given the individualistic approach a chance, it didn’t work. we need a solution now, hospital workers are drowning.

white feminism's blueprint for empowerment is always about women participating in capitalism the way men do, and rarely about imagining a world where everyone's basic needs are met

There were 150k U.S. covid cases/day last week with effective vaccines widely available 1 year ago (marked by the arrow) there were fewer than 50k cases/day WITHOUT VACCINE Clearly (and fortunately) our behaviors matter Unfortunately our behaviors are shit That's the tweet

Today is the first time as I looked around the ICU at the patients and at the staff, that I’m not sure if we are gonna make it through this intact without losing something of ourselves.

It may be too early to call it but I think that misinformation & disinformation are going to be in the top 5 of those who won during COVID. It's thanks to them that the following are still somehow deemed to be contentious: 1. COVID is airborne 2. Masks work & are essential. (1/7)

Abortion care is a human right.

Banning abortion does not stop abortions. It’s stops safe abortion.

The The Nation ran Justice Sotomayor’s full dissent as its own piece and you should read every urgent word of it: thenation.com/article/societ…

my mom has gone to two physicians now that have refused to write her a PT rx…..she has chronic low back pain

Figs is getting out of control
