Public safety announcement: If you are usually healthy without significant comorbidities and feel like you have a flu-like illness, you probably have #COVID. Please don't use the resources of the ED right now if you were either exposed and want a test or have only mild symptoms.

I didn't have the opportunity to meet Dr. Paul Farmer, but I know countless exceptional colleagues that were either inspired by him or directly mentored by him. Such a tragic loss for the world, but what an incredible legacy and life well-lived. Donating to Partners In Health in his honor.

In their new Forefront article, Scott Weiner + Arjun from Brigham and Women's Hospital + Yale University discuss how to address underlying forces and permanently end emergency department boarding, we must leverage “carrots” (financial incentives) and “sticks”. bit.ly/3upPCpG

Wonder why our EDs are full? It's because our hospitals are full. Wonder why our hospitals are full? Look no further than below. This is a serious patient safety issue. Thank you MA Health & Hospital Association for shining a spotlight on this data. #brokensystem Mass. Health and Human Services.

Unnecessary fear-mongering by Fox News again. This unfortunate woman may have a) had a panic attack or b) been poisoned by something else - but it was not fentanyl. foxnews.com/media/kentucky…
