We mourn the lives of the children and families affected by yet another school shooting today in Nashville. Gun violence is a threat to children everywhere. As pediatricians, we will continue to advocate for policies to keep kids safe and to #EndGunViolence.

Yes it us unlikely assault weapon bans would fix everything. But it would be a big something. I’d take the left side of the graph as a major improvement rn.

Here in the hospital, we will always be waiting to receive those who make it to us. But our best will always be a worse option than prevention.

Dear everyone saying we can't have gun control 'cause it's not what the founding fathers wanted, Maybe, just maybe, we should stop caring about what a bunch of old white racist slave owners thought + instead, think for ourselves

In medicine we do a great job taking care of the patients. We need to do a better job taking care of the families and ourselves. @DGlaucomflecken @OhioStateEMRes @OhioStateMed @EMIG_OSUCOM

To the world: what is the point of saying «never again» for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar? At least 5 killed. History repeating…

Hmmm.. Is it ethical to: not wear a mask when you’re symptomatic? not get vaccinated and go to gatherings unmasked? expect HCW to tolerate abuse? Or is it that society expects only HCW to adhere to ethical principles and everyone else can roam wild? #ENOUGH #MedTwitter @MDLinx

I mean as an #meded person I have to say her slide game is pretty good. High quality 📷 . A few, large contrasting words. And she looks pretty engaged as an educator. What do you think @ffolliet? I think you need a 3rd 🐶
There is currently a presentation happening in my bedroom advocating for a 3rd dog.

Now we just need sufficient tests. We are testing people back in at my kids school. At 5 days about half clear and half don’t. It’s great the tool works, we need more of the tool.

This. Early in the pandemic I didn’t let my residents in w/o PPE. About a month ago I didn’t let another dept’s resident in to help w a bloody messy airway until they got the right mask. No way. This pandemic has caused enough preventable illness, suffering and death.
If l see a single member of my team doing compressions without adequate PPE, l will kick them out of the resuscitation until they don it. Our lives are important too, as are the other patients and loved ones we come into contact with. The AHA may not care, but l do.

If it was ever a question, in the age of modern, broken medicine- healthcare workers are expendable cogs in a very giant wheel as evidenced by the recent covid guidance from @American_Heart and @CDCgov. Back to work, y’all. Screw scene safety.

And. https://t.co/lLLa5znQpK In <24 hrs. Hospitals REQUIRING sick #HCWs with #COVID to come to work anyways. @CDCgov are you paying attention. This is insane! @POTUS please tell us again about the debt our country owes #HealthcareHeroes
#moralinjury #wearehuman
@meganranney If the science supports this it should be for everyone. As is, it’s just another way for HCW’s to bear the brunt of this country’s unwillingness to do the right thing. And another way for big powerful employers to force vulnerable employees to take inadequate care of themselves.

If your home COVID test was positive, you have COVID. Please do not come to the ER for another test.
