@RanaAwdish: Restoration of Identity Post-COVID #CHEST2020

@RanaAwdish: I invite you to step out of our "CHEST" identity and step into the quieter parts of your identity. Loss of any one of these makes you less human. #CHEST2020

@RanaAwdish: Identity is a relational act. Embracing our intersectional identities will benefit our patients. #CHEST2020

@RanaAwdish: COVID amplified the depersonalization of our patients. #CHEST2020

@RanaAwdish: Personhood is a social practice. #CHEST2020

@RanaAwdish: Speak to your patient as an equal. Don't infantilize them (unless you're a #PedsICU provider!). #CHEST2020

@RanaAwdish: The importance of narrative medicine. So often we don't explore enough to know what our patient's fears are. #CHEST2020

I'm not embarassed to admit that I was opening crying during @RanaAwdish's lecture at #CHEST2020. Thank you, friend.
