Informative article about challenges to patients and hospital staff during COVID--featuring Doctor's Community Hospital, where I spend part of my clinical time. Inside This Maryland ICU, a Depleted Staff Struggles to Keep Going washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/… via @doximity
🚨I wrote about what this surge is doing to the healthcare system. It's bad. Though less severe, Omicron is spreading quickly enough to inundate hospitals, which can't handle the strain cos so many healthcare workers had quit or are now sick. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…
Joy!
Boston health care workers dancing on the sidewalk to celebrate the arrival of the first covid-19 vaccine.
We are experiencing exponential growth of #COVID19 as a country. In short: things are bad and getting worse. They will continue on that trajectory before getting better. If we want to change our approach, we will find a way. If we do not wish to do so, we will find an excuse.
“The plan will be build on bedrock science....I will spare no effort or any commitment to turn around this pandemic.” @JoeBiden thank you on behalf of healthcare workers, our patients, and our communities everywhere. #BidenHarris2020
The challenge is how we rectify suffering, discrimination, & divisions, & come together: “Win or lose, Trumpism will not have been swept into the dustbin of history; it will remain all over the furniture. It’s part of the furniture. Unsweepable.” washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…
Sound advice.
Waiting for election results can be extremely stressful. A few things may help: 1) Turn off the news/social media. 2) Take a walk or work out. Movement loosens the mind. 3) Help others. Service reduces our suffering and lets us experience the healing power of human connection.
I'm honored to work with an outstanding team dedicated to using sound science and policy to advance the best interests of our nation's students, economy, and health. Here are some of our thoughts. #Covid19 #VoteHealth #VoteEarly #doctorsforbiden usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

Colleges can do right by students amid COVID-19, but it takes money, planning and backbone
Colleges face varying types of pressure from students, politicians, finances and local COVID rates. They need resources and resolve to operate safely.
Thanks to @AmLawInst for an interesting podcast conversation on an upcoming publication on medical malpractice law. A great resource for doctors to know about!
