One of the anxiety-provoking things about the #COVIDー19 pandemic is knowing when to #SocialDistance and when to seek out triage/medical care. The Human Diagnosis Project has designed a decision tool to provide information re those choices. Props to Madeleine Heldman, MD, MS (she/her) for her input hdx.org/covid

Thank you everyone for your incredible messages of support and encouragement.ā™„ļø Many of you asked what it was like in the ER right now. I want to share a bit with you. Please RT: A Day in the Life of an ER Doc - A Brief Dispatch from the #COVID19 Frontline:

1/ We've been coaching docs through a lot of difficult phone calls lately. Here's the framework we use for daily updates/counseling to family / surrogates of critically ill pts with #COVIDー19, inspired by our VitalTalk training. Remember: It's hard being APART #pallicovid

10 years of medical training and that’s a wrap! So grateful to all @NMPulmCritCare NU Internal Medicine who have helped me along the way. I couldn’t have done it without the support/love of my family and friends. Now trading purple for blue to be a Critical Care attending Penn Medicine!

Great new paper calling for pathways toward clinical competency in palliative care principles for advanced HF docs. Amazing work by my friend @ChuziSarah

Families are an essential part of the care team and need to be back at the bedside. We know how to do this safely, so let’s do it!

Great article describing how social determinants of health and provider biases impact allocation of resources. Outstanding work being done at Northwestern improving access to organ transplant.

My brilliant, multitalented, and kind former co-fellow and dear friend @JustinFiala using art to express the complex, painful, and even beautiful parts of being #HCW during this pandemic.

Great learning case for how to approach a malpositioned central line when vascular access options are limited and treatment requiring line is urgent.
