@UofR Here at #StrongMemorial, we’ve never stopped. Been going 150 mph since March 2020 when #COVID_19 began. We are mentally and physically exhausted, but we still come to work every day, because caring for people is our life’s calling, Dr. Paritosh Prasad, #ROC #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR There’s been palpable a shift in our community. Early on, we were heroes. Now, we watch protests out our windows. We need support. We need everyone to get through this, Dr. Prasad. #ROC #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR We've been gutting this out for 18 months and it takes a toll on everybody. We're still going to be here for #ROC. We're here to practice medicine, that's our specialty. Can't get through this alone, Chris Burleigh, nurse mgt. #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR Every day in our Infectious Disease Units, patients are hooked up to equipment to help them breathe and get meds Patients are in full body-system failure & staff work to meet their needs. Bathing, turning, supporting them around the clock, Chris Burleigh, nurse mgr. #ROC
@UofR It's very physically demanding work. It's exhausting for our staff, Chris Burleigh, nurse mgr. #ROC #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR On our #Covid units, nobody wants to be this sick or receiving this care. It's gut-wrenching and we hate that these patients can't have their family with them, Dr. Paritosh Prasad. #ROC #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR Our hospital staff is doing all of this while they're still caring for patients who have heart disease, cancer and other serious illnesses that require hospitalizations, Dr. Prasad. #ROC #FLX
@UofR You have the power to help get through this. The only way for this #pandemic to come to an end is for all of us to #GetVaccinated It's the strongest weapon. The best thing we can do, Dr. Prasad #ROC #COVID
@UofR Chris Burleigh: Have courage. #BeKind to each other. As we navigate this, get through this, we have to be kind to everyone. #ROC #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR There is tremendous stress and strain in the hospital. We've been working continuously for 18 months and it's not going to end soon, Dr. Prasad #ROC #FLX
@UofR Seeing protests is a punch in the gut for all of us #HCWs. We're here to care for people no matter what. We need everyone's support to do this, Dr. Prasad. #ROC #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR We don't know what's coming, but we will care for our patients and support our colleagues and all #HCWs every day, Dr. Prasad. #ROC #FLX #BetterTogether
@UofR We didn't know what was going to happen in the beginning, and we got this far because of our community support. We will get through it if we pull together and work toward the goal of ending the pandemic, Chris Burleigh. #BetterTogether #ROC #FLX
