465 patients checked into our ED in a 24hr period. No inpatient beds, 16 hour wait times just to be seen, up to 30% leave without being seen. Very sick patients boarding in ED for days. Mainly driven by RSV, Flu, & COVID. No end in sight. Thank you for attending my TED Talk.

Hi @CVSHealth - went to one of your LA locations today for COVID & Flu vaccines. Staff did not wash or foam hands between patients. I asked if they had, they said “no, I don’t have to”. I pressed some more and they claimed “it is not one of their policies”. (1/4) @lapublichealth

I hope this isn’t the future of primary & preventative care in the US. “It’s not our policy” in response to the most basic of safety measures is gross. 1st priority should always be - Do no harm. If anyone from @CVSHealth would like to chat, I would be open to a discussion (4/4)

As @CVSHealth moves into the primary/preventative space, I am saddened this is what is coming for patients. I acknowledge, many MDs are guilty of inadequate hand hygiene, but to respond “it’s not policy” to 🧼 🙌 in between patients when called out on it is just depressing. (3/4)

Thinking of all the asthmatic individuals currently gazing out at heavy clouds of wildfire smoke, especially in NYC where inner city asthma cases have been skyrocketing for years. Stay indoors and keep your rescue inhaler nearby. Picture is from a friend in the city.

Got @MyShakeApp alert while in room with patient in ED. Made them duck and cover. Probably about a 10 second warning or so. 💪

@Dr_Dr_Mr_MD @RasmussenC1s2r3 True.. many large non-for profit academic pediatric centers had 100+ million dollar loses in fiscal year 2022.

@yoncabulutmd @UCLAMCH @DeannaMarie208 @eliowa @zeynep @AAPPres I think individual hospitals are hesitant to publicly discuss their strains under surge as they evolve. I commend @ctchildrens for publicly acknowledging the seriousness of the situation.

Rapid #COVID antigen test before attending Friendsgiving, about $12 a test, bought at pharm and takes 15 min in the comfort of your 🏠 While not perfect, rapid tests excellent tool to decrease risk at gatherings. Vaccinations too of course! Not too late to go grab one yourself!

@KimiChernoby But every time a physician completes a mandatory module on their off time, somewhere, a non-clinical administrator grows their wings and gets an ice cream cone with a pat on the head from their boss!

A resident just asked me if I provided disaster medical care during the Northridge earthquakes in 1994… I would have been 8 years old. Yikes, do I look that old? 🤨

In keeping with emergency medicine stereotypes.. I just went stunt flying. Experienced 8.2G and didn’t puke or G-lock. The Extra 330 is an engineering marvel that seemingly ignores the laws of physics.

@sweetgreen @lapublichealth This event should have been immediately halted by upper management as it got out of hand and irresponsible. Once again my heart goes out to frontline employees they were put in this situation. This behsvior is what we need to combat to decrease community spread of #COVID19

@reverendofdoubt Slow down when you need to. When I moved into the hot seat I immediately felt the pressure to turn over rooms & go faster. Take time to do that extra assessment prior to d/c. Extra check Rxs written by trainees. Room-side round on your zone w/ the team when things seem crazy.

Pls state your argument more clearly rather than a sloppy statement followed by pic with a random statistic. What about hospitalizations, invasive testing, ICU days and MIS-C? Majority survive but a fair and complete risk/benefit analysis should be presented in your argument.
