Suicide as a frontline workers is too common and always heartbreaking. 1:4 first responders have PTSD and 25% of those with PTSD will attempt suicide. Thank you Leah Tatebe for speaking at Cook County EM bringing more awareness of PTSD in first responders and self compassion.

After taking a break from painting for a year, I completed “ Still Waters”. Happy to be painting again.

🗣️Medical Spanish Monday🗣️ Some terms you can add to your vocabulary when speaking when patients. 🚨Remember, it’s always best to use an interpreter when speaking to patients who speak a language that you aren’t fluent in! What other terms would you add to the list? #FOAMed

Give her her flowers! Much deserved @Ashlea_Danielle

Those aren’t tears just my seasonal allergies…

I first met Sheryl Heron in 2009 on a beach in St. Croix as a high school student asking for advice on how to become a doctor..now full circle at #SAEM23 both as EM docs seeing her recieve recognition from #ADIEM for her lifetime of dedication to DEI. It’s an honor.

We had our first #SocialEM Journal Club. Happy to everyone who came out and got all those that worked to make this happen! Can’t wait for the next one ☺️

This week as a part of the Cook County EM #SocialEM lecture series we had guest speakers @Kurtzer_MD and Anna Pastor speak about Human Trafficking! Thank you for showing us how we can improve recognition and patient outcomes when identified!

Thank you to #HealthHumanities at Johns Hopkins EM for 1st place in the Creative Works competition at the 2023 #HumanisEM conference! Theme: “ Weathering the Storm” Painting: “High Tide” symbolizes the journey through burnout feeling at times like your head is just above water.

Check out the perspective piece “Racial Trauma: The Burden of Being Black in Medicine” in this month’s issue of #SAEMPulse on behalf of SAEM ADIEM Academy . I had the honor to co-author with the wonderful @Ashlea_Danielle ! Read here: issuu.com/saemonline/doc…

On my worst of days and hardest of shifts I promise to always advocate for my patients and call out biases. We owe it to our patients, especially those from underserved or marginalized communities.

In “The Body Keeps Score” I came across the quote, “If you do something to a patient that you would not do to your friends, family or children consider whether you are unwittingly replicating a trauma from the patient’s past.”… makes me think of 4-point restraints in the ED

Great quote I heard from Christopher Colbert, DO, FACOEP, FACEP, FAAEM today, “Practice makes permanent”…words to live by.
