O I know this guy haha. The system, both general public AND other hospitals, relies on the safety net hospitals to keep providing care. EMTALA means someone has to provide emergent care (and pay for it). @LinaHidalgoTX
Ben Taub is 1 of only 2 level-one trauma centers in Harris County. Dr. Santhakumar-an ER physician-warns that if emergencies arise, you or a family member could end up there. By skipping, Commissioners Cagle & Ramsey are cutting $125M in Harris Health funds. This affects us all.
Brooklyn Judge Tuitt rules all prisoners in NY must be offered vax immediately nyti.ms/3rus13D > 390,000 prisoners have tested positive for COVID; roughly 25% of all prisoners in US This should have happened months ago
@jromanowi @TraceeM @jasonbeahm @ddiamond That's where in my asking of various providers experiences, I think it's unlikely. So will I keep wearing a mask in public, yes it has almost no downside to me. Will I not hang out with my son after santizing/showering etc., no that reward is worth it. But I could be wrong.
@jromanowi @TraceeM @jasonbeahm @ddiamond Yup, sience never wants to say it definitely until there is a study. By the same token there is no study saying you will transmit it. Happens alot in medicine where there isnt clear data and you have to make assumptions. Then decide is the risk in uncertainty worth the reward.
@ddiamond Not dying of COVID Knowing I’m not passing it onto others* *very likely, data is preliminary but looking excellent

@RealCedricDark @Avik @VivekGRamaswamy What about legacy admissions? Why must everyone else fight over what is left, when the system gives hand outs to the already privileged. Something about a house divided...
While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.
Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.

When I was a resident, Dr. Goldfrank would ask us the same question on every patient we saw: "What is the lesion in the healthcare system that brought this patient to us today?" It was a challenge to look deeper into the root cause of emergencies

Last wk, a political doc weaponized medical language in #GeorgeFloyd's autopsy, used allegations of heart disease & intoxicants to deny the truth of what Black ppl have ALWAYS known. The cause of death is racism. We wrote in @sciam how this GASLIT AMERICA blogs.scientificamerican.com/voices/george-…
@TamorahLewisMD Even if they only want to focus on "medicine", medical education is full of bias. Therefore all our care is biased. Work on that.
