Part of what makes this record-breaking stretch of silence from President Trump so disconcerting is that he went from 5 speeches a day...to just nothing. Thanks to @FactbaseFeed for visualizing it, and verifying that it is a record.

Twitter is cool because even though I’m an ophthalmologist, I can accidentally learn how to stop a fistula from bleeding

Just watched an episode of ER where it's Carter's first day as an intern and he gets so overwhelmed during a trauma that he asks a nurse to call a doctor and has to be reminded that he is a doctor and goddamn if that isn't the most relatable thing I've see on this show.

I worked the night shift at Sinai Health System last night. Dr. Paul Koblic worked the casino shift from 9 pm to 4 am. I'm old and he's young. He offered to stay all night if necessary to do the intubations so I wouldn't have to risk getting #COVID19. I'm crying as I write this.

I’m a full-time ER doc getting ready to work a 24 hour shift in the emergency department. I am genuinely more concerned about going to work tomorrow morning than I was the day I launched on the space shuttle. 1.5% shuttle mortality vs 9-12% if I get COVID-19.

5 years ago today, I woke feeling fine, then quickly developed malaise. An hour later, I started to rigor. I know rigors are bad, but I thought (hoped?) it was viral. I developed horrible, diffuse abd pain, vomiting, and relentless rigors. I had no idea what was going on. 1/18

#Tramadol, a game of analgesic roulette, will it work or won’t it? Will your patient obtain analgesic effects or will they have a seizure, respiratory depression, or various other side effects...🤷🏼♀️that’s why it’s been nicknamed #Tramadont! Its variable effects are (1/3)
