Love this idea: Medics tape photos of themselves smiling on their PPE so patients can see a reassuring & friendly face. Human connection + compassion creatively maintained #covid19 https://bit.ly/3b7ELWc ">https://bit.ly/3b7ELWc&q...

Derek is a registered nurse who lives in California and also pursues acting on the side in normal times. Hence the gorgeous headshot. He took the photo I& #39;ve shared of him and his fellow nurses. True Heros! @AchillesLastWar

Here& #39;s @joevaron, Chief of Medicine #UMMC “Make them smile. Make your patients #smile. they’re going through hell right now. They think they are going to die and many of them may die, so at least be humane, be #compassionate.”

Robertino, respiratory therapist @ScrippsHealth says "A reassuring smile makes a big difference to a scared patient." He inspired Derek, a nurse in Pasadena who works with dialysis patients, and other medical heroes to do the same. #compassion #connection https://bit.ly/3b08PTH ">https://bit.ly/3b08PTH&q...

Smiles are universally calming and reaffirm the human connection — here are some Israeli doctors with pictures of themselves on their protective suits to make the patients feel less stressed. #COVIDー19
