This is why we need to simulate #cricothyroidotomy. @rob_leeper @JSurgEduc @BetsyHuntMD @VinciyaPandian @nmdalesio @DisasterProf sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
I'm tired of ethicists telling me what to do- "It’s far too easy to assign broad duties to others when sitting safely at home typing on a laptop"

Protecting healthcare workers keeps us all safe. "There is no question that HCWs have a sense of duty. The question is, at what cost?" @Laurie_Garrett @AskNurseAlice @drJoshS

I'm finally ethical! Here's my latest publication about the moral imperative to protect healthcare workers.
I had to use really big words for this one.

Vaccine first dose @capitalhealthnj. Today is one year since my mentor and friend NYC Paramedic Marcel Santiago passed from Covid, he passed 3/25/20 @ 19:00hrs. I got my first dose today 3/25/21 @ 19:00hrs, in your memory. I miss you brother every day, Til Valhalla. đźš‘
Where's the OUTRAGE!? CDC says 705 dead healthcare workers but capture <1/4 = >2500 DEAD. A plane crashes and kills 3 or a mine accident kills 6, we investigate. 2500 DEAD in 6 mo. WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE? INVESTIGATIONS? We're fodder for the fools @SEIUNURSES @YesWeCan4Us @ACEPNow
WATCH THIS. This is why wearing masks SHOULD BE MANDATORY when we are around others for the next 6-12 month. #covid19 #sciencematters #StayHome #WearAMask

Guess how many Americans will die from #COVID19 daily in July? Use logic not hope. Start with facts - Under lockdown- 81,000 dead since 3/1, avg 1894 DAILY DEATHS. The virus is still there/still killing & now 'opening'! Your estimate? 500? 1000? 3000? 5000 a day? #ScienceMatters
Still the FIRST INNING. 2 days ago the Spanish govt released an antibody survey of 60,000 people. lamoncloa.gob.es/serviciosde…
BAD NEWS- Only 5% have been infected and a fatality rate of almost 1%. That would mean MILLIONS of American deaths. #coronavirus #COVID19 #ScienceMatters

Predictive modeling aren't perfect for decision-making, but the alternative is to just guess, or flip a coin, or use a taro deck. I'll stick with models. Here's a great guide to help understand their use. Be SAFE. Stay HOME. #sciencematters #COVID19 jhsph.edu/covid-19/articles/…
For all the liars and denies out there - Healthcare workers are dying from #COVID19 and the horror of working in HELL. Stay the F home you idiots! You are killing people with your stupidity. #HealthcareHeroes #EmergencyMedicine #ACEPnow nypost.com/2020/04/27/manhat…
