“underlying health condition” doesn’t mean they deserved to die anyway, it means they needed additional help/protection and we failed them

We are so tired. Our hospital admins are silently expecting us to push forward in rapidly deteriorating conditions. Instead of retaining core staff the last 18 months they pushed us away. Our Covid census has now surpassed the peak in 2020 with a skeleton of the workforce we had.

This thread will be about the abhorrent conditions at the covid "hospital" DHR put up in McAllenTexas. Staff have walked out of this facility because of the conditions in which there are literally ants crawling over critically ill patients. Hiding PPE from staff.

In short, outbreaks require thinking in terms of cycles, systems, and feedback loops. So, let’s see what’s needed to shift the Covid curve as far to the right and downward as much as possible. philbaumann.com/2020/03/05/l… #flattenthecurve

7/7 This was by far the greatest lesson I’ve ever learned in nursing & life. Majority of pts (& people) just need to be heard, & to know someone’s fighting with them & for them. If you listen to your patients, advocate for them, & dig deeper, the healing takes care of itself.

These companies hire who they want and people tend to hire people who look like them and who they relate to all while trying to serve communities they can’t relate to. Trust me, they ain’t sorry!

@LaurenUnderwood: A nurse by training and one of the straightest shooters in the freshman class. I love her frank, up-front, style about what’s important to her community and the country. She’s a phenomenal, compassionate public servant. Give here: act.myngp.com/Forms/11594746…

Nurses have great potential to lead innovative strategies to improve the health care system. The 2010 report recommended removal of scope barriers that kept nurses from making change. @suehassmiller #futureofnursing2030

Hey, doctors/nurses/NPs/PAs, etc. I’m curious to hear about any diagnostic “pick-ups” you’ve made in your career that you’re especially proud of. Maybe someone suffered from years of misdiagnosis until of all the clinics in all the towns in all the world, they walked into yours?

Wow. And we thought your food was an uninspired pathetic imitation. Get fucked, Denny’s. No one goes to you for the pancakes, they go to shoot up and OD in your bathrooms. Not that it matters. Eat Arby’s
time is an illusion and existence is fleeting. eat pancakes while you still can.

This is pretty crazy. As a nation we almost demolished teen smoking, and JUUL reintroduced it back into society.

Every tweet is now someone quote tweeting questions like “What is your favorite food” and responding with “Hamburgers” and then getting 15,000 retweets. We all love this
