There are some tweets asking desperately for oxygen, as a doctor I look at the vitals of the patient & I know with a 100% certainty that even if they get that oxygen they won’t make it.

I want to YELL everytime this happens. I want to tell those people just say your goodbyes

I just want them not to been wasting those frantic last hours or moments chasing an elusive cylinder or drug or bed & to get a chance to say a goodbye. I also know their desperation, their last ray of hope.

It’s traumatic, mind numbing & soul breaking every day.

Every single stab of anger that I feel every single time I experience this, I am keeping it.
I am turning that anger into a resilience to fulfill a promise that I have made to myself in this pandemic & I don’t know if I will even be able to do anything to make it happen..

With every death, I just remind myself that I have promised to myself that I will never, ever let a repeat of this happen to my country again.
How will I do it, whether I will even be able to begin I don’t know & I don’t care. But I am going to try & that is a promise.

People have reached out in the thread or DMs to ask for pointers or signs that indicate futility of intervention- It will be difficult to provide straight up markers, but if you are in such a scenario feel free to ask & I will offer you my perspective as humanely as possible
