When you’ve seen someone 100 times, how do you continue to *see* them each time? Thank you @CLOSLER for the opportunity to reflect upon what happens when the ED becomes a refuge - what it means for the individual patient, and what it says about our system + society at large
"When pts present frequently to the ED, MDs must make an effort to validate them as individuals. It's also important to be aware of & work to change the underlying social determinants that may drive their visits."— @KamnaBalharaMD @JosephSakran @dromron
