Can urgent care please stop referring to ED “to get xyz”? Like no dimer is neg. Like no it’s a concussion. Like no it’s viral. This is a #pandemic, people. #PSA #MedTwitter #emergencymedicine

Biggest question I’m left with after #Inauguration: what’s next for Amanda Gorman?#PresidentBiden President Donald J. Trump #NewDayInAmerica

I held it together until Jen Psaki started taking questions on the President Donald J. Trump daily schedule. Really though, isn’t that all anyone really wants? #Inauguration #unity #UnitedStates #TruthMatters

Almost a year into this, I still awake from my post-shift sleep to check the charts of the #COVID19 patients I'd admitted the night before, wondering what came next #MedTwitter #emergencymedicine #COVID #WearAMask

Congrats to PA for joining CT, HI, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NM, NM, RI, and VT with >70% getting vaccinated. #vaccinated #vaccineswork PA Department of Health #covid19

This year, patriotism is vaccination. Period. #IndependenceDay #FourthofJuly #UnitedStates #VaccinesWork #vaccine

I love and admire Simone Biles and our Olympians. Beyond their determination and sacrifice, they evidence the greatness of the human spirit, in victory and in defeat. I take pride in them, not so much for the medals they win as for the grace, humanity & character of their hearts.

There are no beds left. These are the darkest days of this pandemic. We are no longer giving adequate care to these patients. — Dr. Catherine O’Neal, Our Lady of the Lake chief medical officer and infectious disease expert bit.ly/3lwrgaC

CDC missed an opportunity in its vaccine-risk paper to include COVID+ and baseline Guillain-Barre Syndrome risk. So I did it for them. The math's a rough estimate, but still: if you don't want GBS, get a vaccine. ESPECIALLY with Delta's contagiousness. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…

Today our ED began offering the #CovidVaccine. I had a patient who told me she’d been putting it off for a variety of reasons. When I told her I could have a vaccine in her arm in 5 minutes, I expected another excuse. Instead she said, “let’s do it.” #dontgiveup #COVID19

An open letter to the #ACEP2021 Council at @ACEPNow endorsing Robert McNamara for BOD "If I were in Boston this weekend... I would cast that vote in the belief that it is in the best interests of the College, the specialty, and the profession." takemedicineback.org/blog/open-lett…

✅ Safe passage for civilians to flee. ✅ Access for humanitarian organizations. ✅ Protection of civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and schools. We call on all states to respect the rules of war.

Medical responders from the National Disaster Medical System are coming together from across the country to respond to #HurricaneIan. Here, responders from Massachusetts are arriving for duty and getting ready to provide support during and after the storm.

Hearing of the heroism witnessed in the Colorado Springs massacre, keep thinking of that line from Battle Hymn of the Republic: "Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, since God is marching on."

In America, 1 in 4 cancer patients declared bankruptcy or lost their homes to eviction or foreclosure in 2022, while 42% deplete their life savings within 2 years. This is insane and unspeakable. Getting cancer should not cause bankruptcy. We must cancel medical debt.
