If we are to have peace on earth, our loyalties must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective."

It is no secret that students, residents, physicians, and others are being harassed for their human rights positions. The scope of this harassment is wide. I will dissect one such campaign, how it is executed, and why the template is so easy to repeat. Anatomy of a campaign. A 🧵

Another night in the ER.
Another Pediatric and Geriatric unit.
This time in a small rural community hospital which isn’t supposed to be this busy.
The very young and the very old have a tough few months ahead.
Strange times ❗️
Worried parents of fevered little ones coming to see me in the ER for Tylenol 🤷🏿♂️
☑️After searching multiple drug stores.
☑️For an ⬆️number of respiratory bugs, RSV, influenza and of course BQ11.
Happy 😃 to help with Tylenol but wish they could get it 😟 – at London, Ontario

In ancient times, many of the great cities of Mesopotamia stood near the Tigris, drawing water from it to irrigate the civilization of the Sumerians. Notable Tigris-side cities included Nineveh while the city of Lagash was irrigated by the Tigris via a canal dug around 2900 BC – at Iraq
This was an epic drive through regions only heard of on the news.
War, destruction, torture, hate, & human violence are real occurrences in military history.
But Fallujah looked alive again :)
Lucky to be amongst those who have not witnessed events like this.

A senior-ish resident came to thank 🙏 me for a session I taught to a combined group of junior & senior Emergency Medicine residents.
👍🏾Her gratitude was so sincere it made my eyes water 😥
✅Gratitude to mentors and teachers motivates them to do more in sharing wise thoughts!

Someone helped us get through the night shift in the ER.
🌙
It was a busy night. We had one Ortho case after another.
🦴
It was a small gesture. Just a few candies for all the doctors. But it went a long way. A little energy rush to push us through.
Thank you for caring 🙏

As an ER doc and leader this here is the most important question I ask myself daily 👇🏾
🙋♂️
Where should I fit the next meeting on this super busy calendar 🗓 while still working clinical shifts ?
🤷🏿♂️
Every leaders nightmare 😱

Today I learned one ☝️ thing.
✅As a ER doctor 👨⚕️ I can make one big difference in the journey of a patient stuck in the ER by providing them a warm blanket 🛌 and a sandwich🥪. The amount of gratitude 🙏 it brings is unparalleled.
Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating this festivity. And specially those health care workers who got through this holy month of fasting while working long hours in PPE + ongoing COVID issues. Enjoy your ☕️today

This weekend marks a holy trifecta for the Abrahmic faiths.
Happy Ramadan, Happy Easter, and Happy Passover.
May we all work together for a world based in peace and renewal. ❤️❤️❤️
Most night docs are amazing at taking stuff from the earlier MD.
But I’m sure there are days when some feel this way.
[FYI … just a joke 😉]

Great investigative research combined with superb diction. A story of London, UK in 1952 where some were killed by horrible men and others by gas pollution we denied for decades. @kwinklerdawson this was a book difficult to put down with a somber truth about our human species.

When you work evenings all weekend with very little sleep and plan to have a nice sleep in on Monday AM.
Monday AM 6:30 - wide awake and trying to wake my wife @fatsy78 up to chat.
