I’ve witnessed your unremitting commitment to the patients and the community over the last decade. You’ve worked tirelessly to find ways to improve the lives of the people you care for. I’m very proud this work is being recognized with this prestigious honor. So well deserved!

Incredibly honored to be selected for this year’s @DukeU Presidential Award! What we’ve been able to accomplish over the last few years during unprecedented times in the @dukeemergency department is the result of tireless work from our Duke student leaders and volunteers!

Covid coming into PY-3 looking like real chief material


So many! Difficult to make out my resting facial expressions; dropped my lipstick budget way down; limit the hospital smells! Not sure I’ll ever go back to maskless at work.

As we in the medical field try to focus on the positive, what’s the best non-Covid reason for wearing a mask? 😷 #medtwitter



You can change your mind! #VaccinesWork

It’s not real It’s going to disappear It’s no worse than the flu But my freedoms Docs are getting kickbacks I did my own research It was rushed Who stands to gain God is my vaccine It’s not FDA approved What’s the next excuse? It’s ok to change your mind. Vaccines save lives.



I have a family member who delivered their child this week in a hospital where both the lactation consultant and newborn photographer were not vaccinated. 😷

Is it frowned upon to refer to the “waiting room” as the “reflection room” after seeing unvaccinated patients in triage presenting for covid testing? Asking for a friend (EM providers everywhere)

Have we tried “thoughts and prayers” for the hedge funds?


Oh, to have tea with Margaret Atwood, a dream come true— I’d still considering moving to #Canada to have that opportunity! 🫖 (not to worry, we still have our family meet up place in Ontario should we ever get so close handmaid’s again... @KatieAntoski)

Congratulations, American friends! I had the teapot ready for you, but I guess you won’t be fleeing now! Here’s to transparency and Truth.



Our #VP looks like me! #future #president #ambituous #girl
