Your angst and heartbreak is gut wrenching. To everyone in the medical fraternity, you are beyond heroes. #indiacovid

So hope things improve for India soon enough. One thing to die from #COVID19 but something else to die from lack of the bare necessities. Lack of oxygen,Lack of emergency facilities and now lack of vaccines.

Look for the helpers. I see strangers coming together to help in anyway. @reachpari Thank you for the work you are doing to help.

@losnewf Every Desi person is soo embarrassed!

🤦‍♀️The Indian parents aren't going to like this..Like Rusell Peters says 'Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad today..'

@DocPhx Get better soon!

Doing what sensible people do when they are sick and it’s a pandemic - getting #CovidTesting and staying at home until the test is back - it’s not hard and people die.

@DocPhx Just been digesting this one! A very thoughtful and well written book. #sapiens

A 60-year-old woman presented with altered mental status and weakness on the left side. DW MRI of the head revealed a punctate focus of restricted diffusion within the posterior limb of the right internal capsule, with no corresponding abnormality on FLAIR images. #COVID19

For the last four months me and my fellow intensivists which included his wife,alternated call, days and night. We cried, we joked , we laughed,waiting for the day when the curve will bend and we can get a break from the grueling days because of COVID. Then this tragedy struck.

@atunuguntla1 @heartdockumar @purviparwani @DocPhx @mswami001 @rajdoc2005 @PushpaShivaram @KTamirisaMD @DhanyaMenon9 @ShelbyKuttyMD Definitely doesn’t taste the same, but was surprised it tasted pretty ok😌 that I wouldn’t mind substituting for the future.

@heartdockumar @purviparwani @DocPhx @mswami001 @rajdoc2005 @PushpaShivaram @KTamirisaMD @MenonNit @DhanyaMenon9 @ShelbyKuttyMD It looks great! Does it taste as good as the original dosa?

That looks fabulous. Here’s a less exciting but supposedly healthier Quinoa dosa (was skeptical at first but not bad at all! 😋) #dosasquad @purviparwani @DocPhx

@heartdockumar Prayers for the beautiful family he left behind.

13 days ago, I lost a close friend. A person I can only describe as being joyous, funny and full of life. I did not know of the burden or turmoil in his mind that drove him to despair. Take care of both body and soul-of yourselves and those you love. We will miss you dear friend

So Important to connect with your loved ones and expand your circle.

St. Helen's on Thursday. And no difficulty breathing in a mask, even at 14K feet.

Discovering the beautiful #pacificnorthwest ,my first 7 mile hike, thanks to @heartdockumar

In Critical Care, we understandably emphasize procedure & skill training (vents, US etc) but expertise requires knowing when less is more. We must also teach clinical reasoning, base rate stats, numeracy... Enjoyed this @ATSScholar Perspective on this: bit.ly/2Wt6bkj
