I’ve been an ER doc for a while no winter has stretched us anything like COVID
and I was a resident at Elmhurst in NYC during the H1N1 pandemic flu season
we didn’t need refrigerator trucks.
Did you know that before COVID, other respiratory illness stretched hospitals to capacity this time of year but we didn't hear about it everyday?

preventing cancer is not a “tough call”
What should a parent of teens do? Tough call. The vaccine only works if given before onset of sexual activity, so if your older teen is already dating/sexually active they likely are already infected with HPV (40% inf rate).

So far the most consequential action taken by Joe Biden is taking credit for the amazing vaccine production and rollout put in place by President Trump.

friendly reminder that
a) the public health experts all warned us that the plan working would look like we did too much
and
b) a lot of people are still getting very sick and dying

someone should tell NRA that being shot is bad for your health
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves.

Hi, I'm an ER doctor in a movie. I have a mysterious, troubled past because I think I made a mistake that hurt someone (I didn't) and it haunts me. I channel this guilt into over-caring for my unrealistically sick patients and frequently shout "not today!" during resuscitations.
@Farajidc
@TheRaDR
Hi, I’m a doctor in a movie. I’m very abrupt when talking to patients and generally am rude to their families. Frequently I will make decisions that make real doctors lose their minds. I drive a sports car and have an obvious personality disorder.
