@Stephan25049238 If you are interested I did a petition on change.org called Patient Safety in Maine Matters which is related. Please take a few seconds and add you name.
@bienne_e It is important to protect the doctors who do step forward. Please support the petition on change.org called Patient Safety in Maine Matters. Thanks!
Good Monday morning NM. Roll call. Even for a time change week this is late getting up for me. Going to blame it on my allergies which have a grip on me now.
Went to visit Tree on that lovely afternoon yesterday. No sneks yet so I can meander far and wide.
@Loonsylvania I think it is happening everywhere. There is a petition I started called Patient Safety in Maine Matters on change.org and it relates. I would appreciate it if you would support it.
Dr. Patricia Griffin was fired from the University of Maine after questioning the effectiveness of the university's mask mandate.
Griffin's first amendment lawsuit against the university was just given the green light to proceed.
All the details:

Hi,
I haven't been on X (Twitter) for quite some time because I was dealing with issues. The reason is in the link. I appreciate all the people who sent me messages while I was gone and those who offered support. I am very grateful to this community. thefire.org/news/maine-hos…
I often say "I am percolating" on something. Having spent a great deal of my childhood looking at a little clear glass cap on top of an aluminum coffee pot while waiting patiently for the water to slowly become coffee, that phrase means a great deal to me. I wonder if the younger folks thinks it is a strange thing to say though. I never say "I am brewing" or "I am dripping." Brewing makes me think of a storm and the word dripping teams with sadness. I like the hopeful thought bubbles when I percolate. They bubble up, pop, and then return ever richer.
So I am percolating. I am thinking about the Church, health care, art and story. I am thinking about how God combines all of my thoughts on those things and then lets me percolate.
Maine focused Patient Safety Petition. We would appreciate your support because from Maine to California we have to send a message that the public stands with healthcare workers. We realize that there are closures and staffing issues, but we depend on you

@thefuzzybastard@MoralHazardPay Like most situations, lawyers do everything important there is to do on pediatric malpractice and journalists are mostly irrelevant.
Last year, I signed into law the most significant gun safety legislation in 30 years.
And this month, I signed an Executive Order to further fight gun violence.
But Congress must do more. There's no greater responsibility than ensuring the safety of our fellow Americans.
Guns are the number one killer of children in America.
It's time for Congress to act – so our kids can learn to read in school instead of learning to duck and cover.
@mainemonitor Amy Strum of @MeNursesUnion:
“Hospitals love to talk about a nurse shortage. There is not. There is a shortage of nurses that want to work in the conditions we are forced to work in” It seems the same for doctors: change.org/p/good-healthc…
Medical patients in Washington County are feeling the impact of workforce shortages in healthcare, from a lack of ambulance transport to a scarcity of available hospital beds as far away as Boston.

@MEAFLCIO@MeNursesUnion There is a shortage of healthcare workers that want to work in unsafe patient conditions. That is exactly the problem! Please sign the petition because all of our safety at hospitals depends on standing together! change.org/p/good-healthc…
Amy Strum of @MeNursesUnion calls on the Legislature to require safe nurse-to-patient ratios.

My heart is in California today with my friend and fellow HIE mom, Debra, as she lays her beautiful daughter Kiersten to rest. HIE steals dreams, but it can’t take away love.
That is forever.
