If airlines can ask us not to eat peanuts on board if there is someone with a peanut allergy, why won’t they ask us to wear a mask if there’s an unvaccinated 4 year old or cancer patient on board?

What a privilege to take care of our #posticu and #pics patients. Thanks to our amazing team in particular for making our dream of a UCLA Post-ICU clinic a reality. 100 patients and counting. Emily Schwitzer, MD Nida Qadir, MD Joey VanVleet Matthew Dartt

Looks like another all star class! Can’t wait to meet all of our new fellows as part of UCLA PCCM

I love the idea.

A colleague from a local hospital informed me they ran out of both propofol and dexmedetomidine and have patients in the gift shop and meditation chapel. If you know what that means, you know how bad that is. If you don’t know what that means you shouldn’t be leaving your home.

Santa Claus will be coming to town this year, Dr. Anthony Fauci says.

“I took care of that for you,” he says. “…I took a trip up there to the North Pole; I went there and I vaccinated Santa Claus myself. I measured his level of immunity, and he is good to go.” #CNNSesameStreet
