Congratulations to the resident doctors at UVM, UMass and Stanford who have voted, overwhelmingly, to unionize. These doctors believe its unfair to their patients and themselves when they are forced to work up to 80 hours a week at very inadequate pay. They're right.

This is what #COVID19 looks like… ☢️9 drips + 2 more in the room ☢️Maximal Vent support ☢️Paralyzed ☢️Proned ☢️Inhaled epoprostenol ☢️CRRT ☢️Code cart 👀 Don’t let this be you. Get vaccinated. Wear a mask. Protect yourself and others. #StopTheSaddness

Pro tip from a now "seasoned" ED doc (as I keep being called): If an older man checks in wearing overalls, just know they're probably sick as fuck and you should be terrified as a provider.

The contrast between life outside of the hospital (looks pretty normal around here) and what is going on inside the hospital (like nothing I have ever seen) is stark. People have no idea.

There once was an IR group from Arizona whom Id like to buy an ice cream cona. They did their paras without transfusing and published 3000 without much bleeding #livertwitter sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

"People don't seem to understand what's going on in Hospitals in states like Indiana right now" Proud of Dr. Bosslet, speaking out for physicians, nurses, healthcare workers, Indiana residents, all of us! 🙏 @gbosslet #PeopleILookUpTo #MustWatch youtu.be/1oXhZn6c5Bw?t=227
“I did not sign up to see people die needlessly” Watch this courageous testimony from Dr. Bosslet, pulmonary, critical care physician. All our professional societies @accpchest @atscommunity @SCCM should amplify! Thank you @gbosslet #PeopleILookUpTo m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvrzzd…

I don't know who has to hear this but a 3 days' course (spread over several months) of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines is much more effective and safer than a 10 days' course of steroids, a 5 days' course of remdesivir and an 1 day course of tocilizumab (combined)!

We are officially sounding the alarm. Michigan’s worst COVID-19 surge yet and we still aren’t sure where the peak is. We are reaching the point where can’t care for non-CoVID patients. Please Michigan, get vaccinated! #covidsurge clickondetroit.com/all-about…

I broke down tonight. I broke down because our team lost 2 special patients to this damn virus. 2 fully vaccinated lung transplant patients who did everything right and still it wasn't enough.

This is what research looks like. Let us know when you’re done! Alternatively, you can trust the people who have been researching this stuff all their lives.
