So we are in the midst of a major #COVID19 surge & yet my institution thinks now is a good time to remove mandatory masking of healthcare workers in our cancer center clinic. But get this—masking still mandatory when seeing people w/ heme malignancies but not solid cancers. Cause it’s not like people with solid cancers aren’t receiving immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or have other risk factors. Or that we aren’t dealing with airborne spread and shared air. Just utterly enraging. #MaskUp

I am very tired of the medical establishment refusing to test for #COVID19, never considering it in the differential diagnosis, never documenting it in the past medical history, etc. A trainee recently asked me why I was bothering to ask a new patient about their COVID history and I’m like, because it can impact every organ system in their body (cardiovascular, neuro, GI, pulmonary, immune, heme, etc). Blank stare in response. What is even happening in medical education?

Hear me out…
How about a medical “mysteries” show where the protagonist does consulting work (from home, obviously, since no way are they risking infection by taking public transportation where no one is masking) for healthcare teams around the world who are struggling to make a diagnosis for a sick patient. And every single time, the answer will be either acute #COVID19 or sequela of prior COVID-19.

And make the show mandatory watching for CME/CNE credit.

We are in the midst of yet another #COVID19 wave and yet the healthcare organization is doing away with employee testing and allowing healthcare workers to return to work after 24h. Hard not to despair. I will continue to wear #n95 at all times. #CovidIsNotOver

Ok, everyone, explain this hospital policy to me. #covid positive patient so #AirbornePrecautions (appropriate). But this translates to all hospital staff seeing the patient wearing #N95mask (again, appropriate) while visitors are allowed in to patient room (patient unmasked) wearing only leaky blue procedure masks (completely inappropriate). 🤦🏻‍♀️

Post-round ruminations today… why have we failed to learn anything over the past three years? Why are patients hospitalized with influenza on “droplet precautions”? Why are leaky blue masks thought to be appropriate ppe? Why is the medical establishment so unwilling to recognize #airborne? #RespiratoryVirusesAreAirborne #InfluenzaIsAirborne #COVIDIsMostDefinitelyAirborne #N95mask #WearAMask

Hi all! Dipping my toe into this platform. My main work focus is anything myeloma research related (from lab to clinical research), but on the bird site I've mostly been amplifying COVID info recently. Overall I love learning new findings from researchers/scholars across all disciplines. And I'll also take any opportunity to view and post cat/dog pics 🐕 🐱.
