Back in the ER, day 1. Everyone is trying to help. The hierarchy of healthcare has flattened in an attempt to flatten the curve. Senior surgeons getting oxygen or residents checking IV drips, everyone is doing whatever they can to address this virus head on. It is inspiring.

Life got exciting for a while. We had a son, he got sick. His liver was dying and it would kill him. They said I could donate 1/3 of mine to him- and he would get better. We did it. He is better. My liver grew back. Now we are boring again. @LiveOnNewYork #ShareAStoryInOneTweet

One of my kids tested (+) for COVID yesterday. Got the email from the nurse he can rerun in 5 days…in a mask until day 10. It’s INSANITY that we are knowingly sending kids back to school who are likely (+). Test to return or stay home. 🤦🏻‍♀️ That’s how we stop the spread.

Getting vaccinated is privilege. Not everyone has the chance, and vaccines don’t work for everyone who gets them. Please get vaccinated if you can. -signed the mom of a transplant kid who is too young to get the vaccine.

Schools for children too young to be vaccinated need to require masks for everyone (vaccinated and unvaccinated) in the fall. That’s the tweet.

@sahilkapur And it speaks to the notion that collective responsibility prevails over “individual freedom”.

I have a job that lets me sleep in my bed every night, spend weekends with my kids and take vacations on school holidays. I can feel the weight that has been lifted from my shoulders. I loved working in the ER but now I see how bad that schedule was for me and my family.
