that time in fellowship when my Boston PICU attending got ratted out by a Neurosurg resident to his attending.
She looked directly at the resident and said "so you went and told your daddy on me"
and I died right there

Ohboy. Does the neurosurg know what they're getting into by inviting your feedback?

We converted a 36 bed cardiac stepdown unit, plus the neurosurg ICU and neurosurg stepdown units into Covid ICUs. It took our ICU capacity from 26 (16 MICU + 10 NSICU) to ≈80.
We still ran out of covid ICU beds and ventilators in 19 days.
The assgoblin who tried gaslighting us last week is…

We opened an ICU that had been shuttered for well over a decade so that a hospital that has 18 MICU beds could fit 46 patients on ventilators
RFK Jr said these words today on national television
"There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)"
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
You are a fucking idiot

Setback - yesterday mom’s neuro status declined enough that we took her to ER. Unfortunately there is a small area of stroke. In weird spot too but neurosurg said it’s small and should improve with time. She’ll be admitted for a few days then go to acute rehab. Bit of a rollercoaster for everyone 😩

As a squeamish layperson who’s nevertheless seen a lot of surgical photos (neurosurg in particular), I find the context-collapse defense here deeply dishonest. Surgical pics are gross but they don’t look like torture. If you’re afraid your images will outrage the public, that’s a confession.
NEW: A university is fighting to keep secret the images of Neuralink experiments that maimed and ultimately killed at least 12 macaque monkeys. Does the public have the right to see them?

So grateful for Brandon. I didn’t feel like things were right yesterday. He came over to evaluate her and called neurosurg, which is what pushed us to take her in. Helps having a third party weigh in so you don’t feel like you’re imagining things (especially when they’re also a physician lol)
