I spent days in California in a hospital overrun with COVID. Our hospital was licensed 30 ICU beds and we had over 200 patients in ICU with COVID and on vents. We learned a lot. For example, In Wuhan they didn't have enough data, and we made many assumptions, such as putting

Staying inside will not suppress your immune system. Wearing a face mask will not poison you from your own bacteria or from carbon dioxide. Wearing a mask shows you are intelligent, curtious, and caring. Not wearing one says you are selfish, ignorant, and not a good citizen.

The changes in his lungs are not a good prognosis- that he feels better is normal at this time in the disease- they rally before they get worse.

If people don't wear masks the anticipation is 180,000 will die from

by October 1, but if 95% of the US population wears mask the death toll will be about 146,000. We would save more in a few months than would die from auto accidents in 10 months

Who has more experience with gun violence than us? I’ve operated on too many from gun wounds and it is sad I have to worry about my 8 yo son going to school. Shame on you for promoting something against public health.
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves.

Wearing a mask is no longer about the other person - it is about you. Abundant evidence is that wearing a mask reduces the viral load you receive of

In the operating room one does not have to yell, throw instruments, or berate the team. You control the OR with a look - simple look, ask the music to be turned off, go back to work.
