    Why is it unbelievably difficult for moms to be productive at home? I just spent 25 minutes consoling my 6 yo, who is very upset that he’s not in the pictures from our wedding (which happened 5 yrs before he was born). Sigh. How’s your quarantine going?🤯🤦‍♀️ #COVID19 #homeoffice

    The #Covid unit is stretching my medical communications skills. Mind you I have no apprehension about difficult talks but bw the N95, surgical mask, faceshield & bonnet, there’s a lot on pressure on my eyebrows to convey empathy & compassion and facilitate medical decision making

    1st grade teacher: “Tell me your name and your favorite color.” My 6 year old: “My name is Nate and I don’t have a favorite color. I #respect all of them.” This boy!😄 6 yrs old. And he gets it. #firstdayofschool

    Unsolicited advice for new resident/ fellow physicians: ✅Dictation software can’t tell the difference bw you dictating your pt’s history and you yelling at your 6-yr old during his Zoom taekwondo class. ✅Always proofread your dictations. #medtwitter #covidparent #QuarantineLife

    A very close family member has what appears to be widely metastatic #lungcancer. @VivekSubbiah is guiding their care while I negotiate w a higher power for a miracle in exchange for anything & everything thats mine. Cancer sucks. Take care of each other. Little else matters.#lcsm

    This guy. Creative thinker. Practice changer. Red tape slayer. Patients first. The oncologist who is called on by other oncologists to treat their family. Lifts up residents, fellows & peer faculty with him and, in turn, rises above all the mediocre haters. Win for the good guys!
