1/ As the senior-on-call @BrighamWomens (also known as “the Phys”) we are responsible for, among other things, going to all the code blues to help as “code whisperers” for the juniors & seniors running the code to help think through what’s going on + management.
2/ I’ve been in this role the past two weeks. As such, I’ve had the great privilege to be there to support some of my colleagues run their first ever codes. For all doctors, we know the feeling invoked by the alarm overhead (at BWH it sounds like a loud monotonous & ominous ping)
3/ They say to check your own pulse before you go to check the patient’s. It truly is an effort of multiple teams- nurses, respiratory therapy, pharmacy, docs, chaplains etc
It’s humbling both to show what we can accomplish as a team; and what the limits of modern medicine are

4/ These past two weeks have been among the best I have spent @BrighamWomens bc I got to work w/ my incredible colleagues @BrighamMedRes, be able to learn from them, to teach as well; but importantly, to care together & support each other.
5/ A special shout out to @LuisaParedesMD @LaurenMerzMD who both have been incredible code leaders over the past couple of weeks.
And to the many folks who make our hospital @BrighamWomens an amazing place to train & provide our patients w/ all we got
We work as a family.
