The family made cookies for the ER and it feels celebratory. At least for today, volumes are improved, the family missed a COVID bullet, and I’m double vaccinated. And Kamala of course.

@KatyGarcia91 Illness of the mind comes in many forms. In my experience with sick patients is that when they direct that at me, I can be the Old me, who would be wounded, or I can be the New me, the one who understands that their disease has nothing to do with me. Racism is a disease.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, you have inspired me. Your example meant the world to someone who needed a guiding light. My hope for the future: when they go low, we go high. #WomenInMedicine

Sewing our curtains has been on my to-do list for two years and today my husband took on the task. #ilovemyhusband #grateful #domesticdadsaresexy

This is how I know my husband loves me. He made me salt free bread for Mother’s Day. #lowsodium #losolife #ilovebread

@cna006 @DrSteveWang Oh no! I loved Noriega’s. Sad day!

@DrSteveWang I will miss the community table where you’d eat with people from all walks of life. 💔😢

Cultural institutions as latest victims of #COVID__19. One of few Basque restaurants in town, Noriega’s, which has been open for 89 years, is closing permanently.

@cna006 @MDaware ummmm, amazing.

In my 7 days on one of our (now 12!) non ICU #COVID19 units, I admitted 58 patients for COVID rule out, of whom 50 tested positive. Two died (DNR), 2 went to hospice, and 5 went to the ICU. That is… not my typical gen med service week. Following, some clinical observations.

“If my son asks me again if we might ever turn to darkness, I’ll have an answer for him. Yes, I’ll say. You can become the night that holds an owl in its embrace.” This is such gorgeous writing. That it’s about my own nephew melts my entire heart. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2020…

And the clouds part, sun shining and the villagers rejoice.
