@LauraStymiest @aliasun closing out the PEM half day with advocacy in PED - moral injury working in the ED - when we know what we should be doing/providing but we can’t bc the system sets us up for failure. One possible antidote = advocacy.

Storytime: For years there was a family of kids who would walk to my library. We knew things were rough at home and we tried to create a safe, validating, fun place for them (like so many others.) There were about 8 cousins, siblings, half-sibs, ages 5 to 16. Then lockdown hit.

I've written multiple stories on the 2019 death of Carlos Hernandez Vasquez in Border Patrol custody. Officials still won't say if anyone faced discipline or if changes were made after his death. Thanks to @aliasun and @drjudymelinek for their expertise. elpasomatters.org/2022/02/08…

On the therapeutic relationship: “We overestimate the value of reasoning and facts. We believe in our clinical authority. We expect patients to behave rationally. But we all develop our beliefs through interactions with other people — what you believe depends on whom you trust.”
For a primary care physician, Covid denialism triggers memories of a patient dying of AIDS who insisted that HIV was not the cause of the disease. Getting through to him had turned out to be a matter of human relations rather than scientific facts. nej.md/3HEwYzc

The Omicron variant reflects the threat of prolonged vaccine injustice. The longer we take to deliver #VaccinEquity, the more we allow the #COVID19 virus to circulate, mutate and become potentially more dangerous.

A piece I wrote for @JCardFail, detailing what happened to me after I woke up to @DGlaucomflecken dying in bed.
“My husband had v-fib resulting in SCA. They explained what that meant and asked if I had any questions. ‘Yes. What do I tell our children?’” onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

Soon, governments will be drafting the Int'l Treaty for Pandemic Preparedness and Response.
But, is it set to be as inequitable as the global #COVID19 response was or were lessons learned?

The best data by far on #LongCovid is out from the ONS
For kids, the news is incredibly reassuring - parents minds should be put to rest
Rates of common symptoms after #COVID19 at 12 w for kids are extremely low (0% to 1.7%) compared to controls
