Ergonomics for working from home

He’s served six presidents. Led the NIAID and NIH for nearly 50 years. He’s won the medal of freedom, been the leading scientist that changed the tide of our largest pandemic (HIV) and for almost 20 years (1983-2002) was THE most published and cited scientist in the world. He’s a straight shooter and tells cold hard truth. Sugar coating isn’t in his nature. #istandwithfauci I stand with science. ... I stand with medicine. I stand with my fellow doctors, nurses, pharmacists & healthcare providers and with all essential workers. I stand with the truth. COVID-19. IS.NOT.A.HOAX. WEAR.YOUR.MASK Feel free to copy and paste. That’s what I did.

News segment featuring @Steven D. Lin, MD

"Want to know what I notice? I see the shoe in the right lower corner. The rhythm strip hanging from the monitor that has what is the last small electrical impu...lses of a mans heart traced upon it. I notice the work that was done & how sometimes despite what we know, what we train for, what we give, & how hard we try, its just not someone’s day. Yes it’s a cool photo, & there are a lot more out there like this. In fact, this captured scene happens in ERs, ICU’s, Operating Rooms, Ambulances & streets all over this nation, hundreds of times a day. I don’t care how seasoned you are, how many codes you’ve worked, how jaded you claim to bein that pivotal moment when the final question is asked does anyone have any objections to calling it? & you look around at the faces in the room adrenaline soaked, sweating & flushed not a word is said. Because we all know, & for a few seconds that can really seem like minutes you feel defeated, you ask yourself if you did enough, did I do it right, what could I have done better? In that moment It all stops, the alarms are silenced, monitors cleared, pumps are turned off, gloves & gowns are thrown down in a myriad of emotionits over, you lost one. The room clears out & this is what you have left of someone’s life. Their memories, their relationships, their mistakes & their triumphs, reduced to a puddle of blood and trash.and one shoe on the floor. It’s easy to separate yourself from these scenes. In fact, as healthcare professionals we have to. Less than 5 minutes after this code, I returned to the ER floor where I was yelled at by a patient with back pain because I had forgotten to bring him graham crackers. But he doesn’t understand. He can’t understand. This is what we do, this is what we give. Never forget the human element. Never take it for granted." @traumacam @nursesproud

Virtual representation of COVID-19 mortality over the past 6 months.

My colleagues and I witnessed the physical and emotional devastation of the health care work force in Wuhan, China; in Italy; in New York. Health care workers were catching the coronavirus on the front lines, getting sick, getting their families sick, dying. We saw them suffer the lasting scars of feeling helpless in the face of this new coronavirus, unable to save their patients or themselves.
