Impressive to see @UofUHealth incredible ER teams today; rounding with Stephen Hartsell, Christy Hopkins, Colleen Connelly, Melinda Patterson, & their teams. We're fortunate & grateful to have them on the front lines of #COVID19 & are all safer b/c they are here. #HeroesWorkHere

We can’t laud our doctors and nurses as heroes one day and then turn around and do nothing to combat the crisis that’s overwhelming their hospitals and ICU beds. We need action—not empty platitudes.

(1/ )There has been an overwhelming interest in the use of hepatic waveforms as a congestive parameter. With social media, somewhat obscure concepts like these are quickly brought to the forefront and implemented in clinical practice. Many are eager to incorporate #VEXUS but...

Requiring masks is a low-impact way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 without having to revert to stricter measures. I still believe the state needs to consider this everywhere, but today I specifically asked that we be allowed to require them in #SLC alongside the county. #utpol

If you let your coworker do that to another human being without trying to stop him or talk to him out of it, you are as gulty as he is. Frustrating for the majority of good cops that take a lot of risk doing their job the right way everyday.

Today I scanned myself. Surprised to find some irregularities in my pleural line (not seen before). As I said to an earlier patient, pleural or lung fibrotic changes might happen. Could explain some remaining mild symptoms, but shouldn't concern too much. #mycoviddiary #COVID19

I am an internal medicine resident in NYC giving it my all caring for patients with #covid_19. This is hard for all the reasons you would expect: it is traumatic, heartbreaking, exhausting. But it’s also hard because of how we as residents are being treated. a thread… 1/12

A must read for all physicians caring for #COVID19 patients. Dr. Tobin's measured, physiology-centred writing is a gift. "The surest way to increase Covid-19 mortality is liberal use of intubation and mechanical ventilation. " atsjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1…
