SAY IT LOUDER FOR JUST LITERALLY EVERYONE 😂
There is only one place the anti-reflux valve belongs, and that’s in the trash can. I said what I said.
3 surgeons with stethoscopes?!? We just had to take a break from ICU rounds to capture this rare moment in time 😂😷 #surgtwitter #MedTwitter #ICUDreamTeam #surgeonscandoctortoo @MAHEC_Surgery

So glad I was able to get my #COVIDBooster today as a frontline worker! Thanks, @CDCgov and @US_FDA for approving the boosters! (And @Target and @cvspharmacy for supplying!!) #ThisIsOurShot #still #WearAMask #GetVaccinated

CDC recommends that certain populations receive a booster shot of Pfizer-BioNTech’s #COVID19 Vaccine at least 6 months after completion of their 2-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine series. More: bit.ly/3mrK4Z5.

We shouldn’t still have to be explaining epidemiology or vaccination 18 months into this. The problem isn’t a lack of information, it’s a lack of respect for science and education. – at Wisconsin, USA

We don’t talk enough about the emotional toll of triaging patients due to crisis standards of care. There are actual people who have to tell families, sit with the terrible dyspnea and regret. All the while knowing it didn’t have to be this way. It’s breaking people.

Replying to @chrishlad
Anger and Mistakes "Getting angry at people for making mistakes doesn't teach them not to make mistakes. It teaches them to hide their mistakes."
Yesterday @POTUS called on doctors to speak with patients about getting vaccinated against COVID-19. Surgeons are no exception to this call. #TalkItUp with your patients and encourage your network to do the same. For more info, visit: facs.org/talkitup

Vaccinated or not, please continue to be vigilant with precautions so that those who have no protection are protected. Today, I had to admit a newborn to the hospital for Covid.

Will I ever stop being appalled at & saddened by all the social media posts I see of large social gatherings without a mask in sight despite updated CDC guidelines? No. The answer is no. #MaskUp #VaxUp #vaxandmask #getittogether #MasksSaveLives #covidsucks
