I volunteer to work the Easter ER shift so my colleagues who celebrate the holiday can have time off with their family.
It also is a good reason to wear my purple sparkle lab coat :)

Trying to get into the hospital for an ER shift by following a snow plow. End up passing a sled being pulled by a horse & a mule.

As an emergency medicine specialist she should know that we are the light in the house of medicine that is always on for anyone, anytime for ANYthing. The patient decides. Stop blaming patients.

My “little” brother Scott has died suddenly. He was a gentle giant. Our families’ hearts are broken. He was loved, he is loved and he will always be loved. Call your siblings today. Miss you Moose.

I'm often saying in the emergency department that we know only a thin slice about a patient's life experience. This is why we need to be kinder. Their response to the current situation may be very reasonable.

Rural areas are turning into healthcare deserts.
No primary care, no mental health, & often no local ER.
How will rural people access the care they expect & deserve?
We need to get together as a society & address this issue.

It's hard as an outsider (Canadian) looking at the US and their complicated relationship with guns.
I've worked as a full time ER doc for over 25 years and never treated a patient with a gun shot wound.

Speaker Mike Johnson dismisses gun control: "The problem is the human heart. It's not guns ... this is not the time to talk about legislation."
