Ontario Medical Association CEO Allan Odette making weekend special delivery of PPE he sourced from his own friends. Thanks for all he & his team does. Will gladly share until MOH supplies arrive #COVIDOntario #covid4MDs

On a completely unrelated note, my commute to work has never been faster. #covid4MDs . Now to figure out this whole #telemedicine thing.

This is why all doctors should wear PPE right now. The biology of the virus is still not completely understood, and the psychology of the patients uncertain in times of fear.

I canceled clinic on Friday and 3 elective Watchman for tomorrow. All patients were happy to reschedule at a later date. I’m surprised our hospital and clinics are still going for routine visits and procedures. MDs need to step up. #covid4MDs #COVIDー19

Has anyone else come across this as well, specifically with pushback for testing with a high suspicion as these patients don’t specifically meet CDC screening guidelines? Steven D Wexner MD, PhD Medical Axioms #covid4MDs

It is NOT ALL...ABOUT YOU!

Maybe small potatoes but curious: when tele won't cut it, how are we doing ECGs in #pronepositioning patients? From a non-tweeting colleague, Mo Farasat: put the leads on the back (obviously) but not V7-V9. Check it out: pretty similar to supine. #Covid4MDs #Medtwitter #FOAMed

RCT from Wuhan on efficacy of hydroxychloroquine...lots of questions still for the severe population but encouraging.

Day 8/12 on #COVID19 duty. Feeling dejected and hopeless. Like all these patients who we have to intubate are going to die anyway. #MedTwitter #covid4MDs

Please, everybody, listen to this!! #covid4MDs
