My premed “advisor“ told me I would never get into medical school and that I should apply to Vo Tech (there is more than a little wrong with THAT statement). Hardwork and caring are precious qualities.

Tragic American public health commentary: When you’re the trauma surgeon on call and 5 gunshot wound victims brought in together barely brings your heart rate above 80 on your WHOOP Wish the public could see what we physicians see every single day ThisIsOurLane

No, Congressman, this doesn't make you look cool, tough, or patriotic. Instead of the hour it probably took to make this epically lame 21 sec video, why didn't you spend that hour actually working to keep both Americans & 2A rights safe? These are theatrics, we want solutions.

The spread of COVID-19 has led to the harmful spread of stigma & misinformation. Like any other virus, no identity, community, ethnic, or racial group is more at risk for getting or spreading COVID-19. Help stop #stigma by learning and sharing the facts. covid19.colorado.gov

This is crazy. Governors are outbid by the federal government for supplies. There are healthcare workers Right Now, Risking It All......it’s time to stop messing around and get this right. #COVID19 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

This will continue to happen across the US health care system until we get more PPE. This is completely unacceptable. We deserve better. The White House must deploy resources to make more PPE NOW. #WeNeedPPE #WeNeedPPE #WeNeedPPE #COVID19 #StayHome #FlattenTheCurve

Yesterday was one of the hardest days in my 25+ years of being a physician. I’ve worked through HIV/AIDS & opioid epidemics. But #COVID19 is decimating our health care system. PPE is so scarce. Physicians are scared. Patients are scared & dying alone. We have so little to offer.

I am being redeployed. Full of mixed emotions. I want to help but scared. Scared of getting COVID and that I am NOT as good as my younger self during the AIDS crisis, 9/11, or the Boston bombing. I know I can do this. Someone has to be on the #frontline. Let’s beat #COVID19!

PLEASE help change language used by reporters when patients die in the hospital during this crisis. They DID NOT "die alone". They were surrounded by dedicated staff who fought valiantly for them in their last days, and stood in for family at the end. #wordsmatter Tatiana Prowell, MD

This is so important. We do not allow people to die alone ... please acknowledge the professional healthcare workers who lose a little bit of themselves every time a patient dies. We are there for our patients at their final hours. AAST EAST #COVID19

New Tonight: Disturbing video from @WBFO in Buffalo, NY shows an elderly man walk up to police in riot gear. An officer shoves the man...he falls backwards, hits his head...starts bleeding immediately...motionless. Why did this happen @BPDAlerts ?
