We all know lots of people on Twitter we have yet to meet IRL.

What about someone you DO know from real life that probably doesn’t recognize/remember you on Twitter?

Got any of those? Go ahead and tag them...
For example, I met awesome people like @arghavan_salles @EMARIANOMD @TomVargheseJr @Ron_George @ChrisCarrollMD @susieQP8 on Twitter first, then IRL.

I want to meet @DrJenGunter @choo_ek @JulieSilverMD @meganranney @ddale8 @Bob_Wachter someday.

But...
I met IRL but they probably don’t remember:
@Doctor_V at the @doximity BOA mtg (2018?)

@sapinker at the @BXconference where we were both speakers (2015?)

@CarlosdelRio7 who was my professor at @EmoryMedicine 1999-2003

So who else wants to try...
Tag some people you’ve met and admired, and later found on Twitter.

Any memories sparked?

Social media is where people often put a selective best on display. But #medtwitter - this is what I'm hearing behind the scenes.

I'm posting this thread so you know you're not alone, and you deserve better than this:

[1/🧵]
I'm reading comments on a registration form re: an upcoming session about nonclinical physician careers.

I asked why they were interested in attending.

They said:

[2/]
😕 Exhausted. All the time.
🙁 Work is more demanding without the same feeling of satisfaction
😕 I feel replaceable. Expendable.
🙁 Need better life-work balance. Have been...

Early on Day 3 of #ANES20 - you may need to zoom in! Our virtual community has grown! Who do you see? Do you see yourself?

A metrics update - fewer users than prior years, to be sure, but very respectable engagement and activity. Over 13 million impressions :) This speaks to the collective followers of the users who are #tweetingthemeeting

🦠Thoughts about a #COVID19 vaccine - it's not as simple as you may think. 💉

Here are 7 sets of questions that need to be answered (and surely there are more, so feel free to add your own):

[a thread]
1) Will the vaccine candidates actually work?

Yes, there are multiple candidate vaccines and trials underway. But Phase III trials are just starting. Even with promising early phase data showing an immune response - will that response be enough?
2) What does 'efficacious' mean for a vaccine? Are we talking complete immunity, or simply reduced disease severity? There's a range of possibilities, and while anything may be better than nothing, this will impact how we live after 'we have a vaccine'

Time to resume elective surgery cases? A thread summarizing new guidance out today from the @AmCollSurgeons #COVID19

This document intro states that peak COVID rates have already been reached, or will be within a few weeks, depending on region...

[link at end of thread]
They offer four categories, each with specific issues that must be addressed locally before elective surgery may be safely resumed.

Categories:
1. COVID-19 Awareness
2. Preparedness
3. Patient Issues
4. Delivery of Safe High-Quality Care
For the 'awareness' category, the specific issues are:
✅Knowing your local COVID-19 numbers, including prevalence and incidence
✅Knowing local isolation mandates
✅Knowing your diagnostic testing availability
✅Knowing testing policies for pts and HCWs

Mixed messages on personal masks, simplified (a #COVID19 thread):

Personal masks level up #socialdistancing.

When we absolutely can't #StayHome, my mask protects you a bit, and your mask protects me a bit.

As @Surgeon_General says, it's not a substitution. It's a boost.
A personal mask is not the same as a medical mask, and they have different purposes.

True, a bandana or cloth mask won't filter out airborne particles. Unless you are a healthcare professional taking care of someone with #COVID19, you probably don't need that.
A regular medical/surgical mask is designed to protect the environment from the person wearing it.

It's to protect your wounds and surgical incisions from the nurses and doctors caring for you. It helps them keep their droplets to themselves.

If you're sick, same idea.
