๐ŸšจPSA: As physicians we have the power, privilege, and responsibility for dismantling structural racism. So, recognize your patientโ€™s race. But more importantly, recognize racism. Recognize that your patient lives in a society that assigns privilege based on their skin color.

I got consulted on a kid who was COVID+ and on ECMO. That's when tubes take blood from your body to an artificial lung outside your body for oxygen. And my job is to keep that blood from clotting as it rides through this web of plastic. Mask up people. This ainโ€™t over.

You know how behind we are? This work from 2015 demonstrates that medical student/resident beliefs about biological differences of race, dating back to slavery, are associated with the perception that black people feel less pain. (Hoffman et al, UVA). pnas.org/content/pnas/1โ€ฆ

Chief concern >>> chief complaint For a profession that aims to serve, the language we are taught is quite accusatory. #MedTwitter

Thankful for this opportunity that ASH has provided. So wonderful to hear Dr.Fauci speak and highlight the importance of bringing back support to our public health systems, but also ensuring that this pandemic is fought globally. #ASH20 #healthequity #COVID19

My father passed away last night in Windsor, Canada. Health Canada and PHAC has made it difficult for family every step of the way. They have unclear and unreasonable expectations, rules, and response times. #LetMeGoToMyDadsFuneral Please re-tweet to get their attention!

Please take the time this weekend and consider ordering a coat from our Amazon wishlist. Many families will be moving off of bases in the near future and we need to make sure they are prepared for the cold months. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

We are updating our hours to the donation center. We will not be opening this Tuesday or future Tuesday nights. Hours will be: Thursday 6 pm- 8 pm. Saturday 12 pm - 4 pm. We are doing this to give time to fully restock. We are depleted almost every night and need that time.๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ’•
