Do not place all your worth on success or failure. Instead, focus on the fundamental mindset of continuous growth and bringing your best to every opportunity. Success will come. Sometimes you will still lose, but that is ok because you will have grown. #MedTwitter

Among the most tragic moments I have experienced recently is consoling a family member who was responsible for spreading COVID-19 in their family, ultimately resulting in the death of their eldest. #MedTwitter

✅ UNMET NEED #1 – Need a reliable way to detect REAL pain. It was clear that I was automatically labeled as a drug seeker. I don’t blame anyone for this, but we need to be able to differentiate real from “fake” pain. Anyone in #MedTech or #MedTwitter looking at this? 7/

Starting the day with a #COVID death certificate. 4th one for me this week. Vulnerable are still vulnerable. Especially the unvaxxed. #MedTwitter

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

“We have enough surge capacity to handle more COVID patients”...should not be comforting. Many are not fully comprehending what happens to mortality when we tap into that “reserve surge capacity” (or when we exceed it) Have we not learned from Italy or NYC? #COVID19

Regarding finding motivation for doing research, a mentor once told me. "Find something that pisses you off...and work on solving that." You know what pisses me off? 👉 Preventable #COVID19 deaths in the ICU.😡 Guess that is what I will work on...
