Eight years ago today I was discharged from hospital after 111 days in hospital with 6 weeks in critical care (3 ICU, 3 HDU) I still deal with the legacy it has left with me. It broke me and I have never been able to fix it. @iceman_ex @CathClarissa @minipixie26 @WesElyMD

My real name is Dave. I have #LongCovid. I'm from the first wave. I've had some ups and downs. I've lost everything. I'm in the 5th year. I am declining more than I ever have. I do not know what is going to happen. I do not want this to happen to you. Today is the first day…

Saw this member of the Corvid family in my Somerset village recently, but which of these species is it? 🤔 Raven? 🐦 Rook? 🐦 Chough? 🐦 Carrion Crow? 🐦 Jackdaw? 🐦

After performing CPR during my husband’s SCA I didn't know how to explain to my family and friends what I was experiencing, so I used a name for the place I had gone. I called it the Quiet Place. 1/6

I received feedback that holding the patient’s hand as they are put under is not in my job description as a medical student intending to apply to surgery and I gotta say, the idea of that being a negative thing about me really sums up a lot of what’s wrong here

They say never meet your heroes. It’ll only be disappointing. Well, whoever said that never met @DGlaucomflecken and @LGlaucomflecken. They are every bit as wonderful as you might imagine, and then some. I got to be onstage at @HollywoodImprov, with them both! Life is great.

Kate Middleton's appearance -- as one of the most photographed people in the world! -- is proof that you can't tell someone has cancer (or is on treatment) just by looking at them Her weight has fueled all sorts of speculation, and unintentional loss is one sign of malignancy…

-@WesElyMD's review appears in PHAROS, the journal of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA), which is medicine’s honor society. From his review I learned more about the word "covenant" than I thought possible! alphaomegaalpha.org/wp-content/upl…

Delighted to see a review of THE COVENANT OF WATER by @WesElyMD, a well-known critical care physician at @VanderbiltU. He shared these pics of his jottings on the book’s inside pages, including a running list of diseases I mentioned in the book!
