In America, 1 in 4 cancer patients declared bankruptcy or lost their homes to eviction or foreclosure in 2022, while 42% deplete their life savings within 2 years.
This is insane and unspeakable. Getting cancer should not cause bankruptcy. We must cancel medical debt.
Hearing of the heroism witnessed in the Colorado Springs massacre, keep thinking of that line from Battle Hymn of the Republic: "Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel, since God is marching on."

Today our ED began offering the #CovidVaccine. I had a patient who told me she’d been putting it off for a variety of reasons. When I told her I could have a vaccine in her arm in 5 minutes, I expected another excuse. Instead she said, “let’s do it.” #dontgiveup #COVID19

CDC missed an opportunity in its vaccine-risk paper to include COVID+ and baseline Guillain-Barre Syndrome risk. So I did it for them.
The math's a rough estimate, but still: if you don't want GBS, get a vaccine. ESPECIALLY with Delta's contagiousness.

I love and admire Simone Biles and our Olympians. Beyond their determination and sacrifice, they evidence the greatness of the human spirit, in victory and in defeat. I take pride in them, not so much for the medals they win as for the grace, humanity & character of their hearts.

Almost a year into this, I still awake from my post-shift sleep to check the charts of the #COVID19 patients I'd admitted the night before, wondering what came next #MedTwitter #emergencymedicine #COVID #WearAMask
I held it together until @jrpsaki started taking questions on the @POTUS daily schedule. Really though, isn’t that all anyone really wants? #Inauguration #unity #UnitedStates #TruthMatters
Biggest question I’m left with after #Inauguration: what’s next for @TheAmandaGorman?#PresidentBiden @POTUS #NewDayInAmerica
