The coverage at the hospital is slim on the weekend meaning we have to double up shifts.
I spent the entire day caring for patients—just got home at 10 pm.
Watching Trump claim he can better determine the cause of death of patients that we actually watch die— vote him out.

2/ During #covid19 surges, many of us who were not supposed to even be on service at that time had been called back to the hospital bc that is where we needed to be. We put on whatever PPE we had access to, & we stuck by our oath to be there for our patients no matter what.
3/ We showed up & we’ll do it again if we need to. That’s not a question, or a hesitation— that’s a commitment. That’s a promise. Watching this man degrade us, accuse us of falsifying the causes of patient deaths— he has no respect for what doctors, nurses & patients went through
4/ I’ve shared this story before but it’s important— on Mother’s Day, the most important thing I could do for a woman dying *from #covid19*, unable to breath, was to put on an N95 & faceshield, gown up, & hold an iPad for her so she could FaceTime with her daughter.
5/ I’m not the only one by any means. We witnessed tragedies unfold before us; these aren’t exaggerations—these are the real stories of real people— over 210,000 Americans who are now dead. This man is now politicizing these deaths. He is trying to use them to downplay a pandemic
6/ He has no shame—all he has are excuses. And I’m tired of it. Point blank. I’m tired of his manipulation of data; I’m tired of his disrespect of the work of frontline healthcare providers; I’m tired of his incompetence in this epidemic response; vote him out.
