Yesterday my 8yo had a meeting with his teacher to discuss the teacher’s unjust & inappropriate classroom management tools. I accompanied him to this meeting to support him. I’m so proud of him for speaking up & advocating for a more just learning space. Here’s how it went:🧵
At this point 4 yrs into a pandemic where even my medical professional coworkers won't mask around vulnerable patients & a coworker fighting cancer, I don't expect to convince anyone who's not already taking precautions to start. I'm here to motivate those of you who still care.
Euh. Petite rectification. Nous sommes TOUJOURS en PLEINE ÉPIDÉMIE de Covid. @SenTheProc
.@DrewTumaABC7 Hi Drew, hope you are well. Could you keep posting the water temp for those who kayak and surf? Also I love the new graphics. Thanks for all you do. ✌️, kcd in Santa Rosa
I had a therapist tell me that it must be so hard not ever being able to live a fulfilling life. She said that in regard to my disability. Therapy wasn’t built with disabled people in mind. Deconstructing ableism within the field is crucial for disabled people’s mental health.

After 3 years & 2 Covid infections, I skipped middle age entirely & now I have more in common with seniors than other middle age people. I spend my time scheduling & attending medical appointments & swapping medical stories with my elderly relatives. I’m mostly bedbound. I’m 41.
Nobody wants to hear about how u vacationed to Maui and how ur family is so thankful to experience Lāhainā before the fires. Local families and biz have lost everything. Families can’t even find each other. Use your rich vacation money and donate.
I don't think most people understand what they're risking, or what #LongCovid really means. nytimes.com/2023/09/03/hea…
Some states trying to tackle the growing mental health crisis are enacting laws and policies that would make it easier to hospitalize or detain the severely mentally ill against their will or through voluntary court-ordered treatment. to.pbs.org/3QTMI9z
Do you know how many times I have said in my 20+yr career pre C19 to my patients… “You have some incidental brain swelling on your mri but it’s probably due to your cold”…? None. Zero. #DontPlayWithSARS
When I write about vaccines, I get attacked by all kinds of antivaxx/qanon trolls & this is expected. When I write about masks in healthcare, I get attacked by other doctors & this is shocking. I wouldn't choose you as my doctor because you can harm me.
I'm done placating. I'm done "voting for the lesser evil". There isn't one at this point. #Covid either gets dealt with or nothing else matters. I wish people could understand this. Social murder is occurring and people think it can wait. IT CAN'T.
A baseless conspiracy that every doctor who advocates for vaccines gets paid by pharma or insurance. As an ICU doc, I don't give out shots, but I've seen too many deaths in those who refused them. Can you accept the fact that docs advocate for vaccines bc they care about people?

Patients shouldn't be asking healthcare workers to wear a mask. Masks should be a norm in healthcare settings. If a patient asks you to put a mask on, put it on. The answer - it's up to us to decide whether to wear a mask or not - is unacceptable. Maskless healthcare is NOT care.
The current covid variant can cause more gastrointestinal symptoms than respiratory, at least early in the illness. It can also take seven days after symptoms appear to have a positive covid test. If you or your child is sick, stay home, and do a covid test every day or two.
Got fired from an oral surgeon’s office today. Showed up for surgery-assistant was visibly very sick-coughing & sneezing, no windows were open, no HEPA in room, no N95s. He knows my medical history- promised safety. Today, he shamed me and fired me for expressing concern.🖕
