I take exception to “most,” “haughty” and “rich.” I spent 10 months triaging/managing patients in the PGH ER during residency. As a professor, I have worked with residents/ medical students since 2004. Then and now, that sweeping generalization is baseless.

And this is why I’m afraid for PGH. Yung mga flashbacks na walang ventilator. Ambubag lang ang meron at hook to bantay. Patulugin muna si bantay so hook to intern. At pag nakatulog si bantay, nangyari na rin na yung pasyente ang nag-aambubag sa sarili niya 😔.
Cuomo: it's all about ventilators. We can create the beds, we can get the supplies somehow, but we need ventilators - ventilators are in this war what missiles were in WWII, he says. Asks anyone with spare ventilators to contact the state.

The one consistent feedback I got was that I was never late pag teleconsult.
I've since learned to apologize to patients when I am late, which is now rarely.
