Unsolicited reflections & gratitude after a week in an @umichmedicine #COVID19 ICU:

My co-intern Arya came into a totally foreign situation, worked his tail off, & thrived. And provided some much needed humor https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Flexed biceps" aria-label="Emoji: Flexed biceps">

Perhaps the most heartbreaking part & often frustrating for both sides. So much & so little can happen in the span of hrs to days for these pts
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="7️⃣" title="Keycap digit seven" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit seven">Extubating a #COVID19 patient feels pretty awesome

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="8️⃣" title="Keycap digit eight" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit eight">Worth repeating that RNs and RTs are the true #FrontLineHeroes & good communication has never been more important in healthcare
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="9️⃣" title="Keycap digit nine" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit nine">Any single member, no matter the role, can lift or break a team. And morale/attitudes are hugely important
5/6

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="9️⃣" title="Keycap digit nine" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit nine">Gonna be lots of interesting convos on good changes that have occurred @umichmedicine that should become permanent. Although somehow I don’t think it’ll be this easy to find parking when we ramp back up...but what’s life if we don’t have dreams?
