Iโ€™ve given half my life to medicine. And medicine wouldnโ€™t give my husband a chest x-ray. Some kids stole a truck yesterday. And they almost stole my husbandโ€™s life alongside it. (1)

Why are Covid19 case numbers dropping? It's probably multi-factorial -- in other words, a gemish* -- and pretending otherwise might get us into trouble. Because there's a lot about this virus we still don't know. Latest post: blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observaโ€ฆ *word defined in the post

Inaccurate pulse oximetry in Black patients is an emergency, particularly in a COVID pandemic. Research is needed to unequivocally define the performance of modern oximeters. Hospitals should commit to only buying oximeters validated in people of color. bit.ly/3q6Qf32

1/ I was talking to this person who said something that made me uncomfortable. The kind of thing that is best to think in your head instead of saying out loud. Wait. I take that back. I'm glad they said it out loud. Because sometimes it's good to know how people feel. Yup.

I see her move towards me Our eyes caught in a glance. We pause, we stop, we look Recognition flashing past. Her eyes are bright and rested. Her clothes are clean and pressed. Her hair and step both have a bounce, The life I have not had. (1)

It's super-cool to read the esteemed Anna Brady's editorial about our study on differences in teaching 'high-risk, low-volume' vs 'low-risk, high-volume' procedures in PCCM #fellowship training! It's very well-written & worth a read: atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.34โ€ฆ ATS Scholar Nitin Seam
