    I’ve been an ER physician for four decades. The level of despair and pessimism ER physicians, nurses, RTs and other healthcare providers are talking about right now is unprecedented.

    To those who attacked me personally for complaining that my taxi driver wasn't wearing a mask while coughing and sniffling. I'm a frontline ER MD. We wear masks EVERY shift. If I get covid, a colleague will have to work my shift which adds to their stress. Think about that.

    I'm going to be off the grid for a while. My sister Joanne passed away peacefully today at 5 pm. Thank you so much for your support and helpful advice. I'm glad her suffering is over.

    RFK Jr. needs to be impeached for his disinforming comments on #measles during the worst outbreak in decades. I don't understand why prominent American MDs aren't calling for this.

    I’m at my sister’s bedside. We think she contracted #COVID19 over the weekend. She’s in severe respiratory distress and is on O2 and suction prn. She some hydromorphone and is in no distress. I am prepared for the worst.

    To my American MD colleagues, the time for pithy comments about mitochondria has come and gone. The ACTUAL DAMAGE RFK Jr is doing to public health in the US is incalculable. DO something.

    I worked the night shift at Sinai Health System last night. Dr. Paul Koblic worked the casino shift from 9 pm to 4 am. I'm old and he's young. He offered to stay all night if necessary to do the intubations so I wouldn't have to risk getting #COVID19. I'm crying as I write this.

    Kudos to the Canadian Women’s Hockey team for beating ROC 6-1 while wearing KN95 masks!

    The world seems a lot less kind these days. I see irritation, impatience and anger everywhere. I know it’s not just me. I can feel it. Like the entire planet’s frontal lobes have been taken off line.

    For the life of me, HOW HARD IS IT TO WEAR A MASK? In hospitals, we do that and more for hour upon hour, and it’s no big deal.

    Pharmacies, listen up. DO NOT WASTE A SINGLE DOSE OF THE AZ VACCINE. Explain the risk and obtain informed consent to administer to people under age 55.

    I’m sitting at the bedside of my big sister. Listening to Beatles songs softly weeping. Life is not fair.
