    Crazy story. I get called for a STEMI but as I exit my neighborhood the exit is blocked by police due to a vehicle fatality. I explain that I'm on my way to an emergency but they said my medical emergency does not "trump" theirs, even though no one was alive. (1/3)

    After 2 miles. Uber/Lyft no cars available. By some miracle I'm able to find a chill Uber driver who made it to the hospital in 20 min. Overall delayed 60 min. Difficult case with thrombectomy/Impella. I documented it all in the medical record. Anyone else had a crazy delay? 3/3

    I would use gratuitous platitudes... "the author, who clearly is a titan in his field, with an unparallelled intellect and the strength of 10 oxen..."

    Only way off the island is nautical or taking an exit in the opposite direction that would add 2 hours to my 22 minute trip. I ask the officer if I can run through the scene. He agrees so I abandon my car and run 2 miles. Both of my backup ICs are delayed with the holiday. (2/3)

    This is what I struggle to convey to others who throw out favorable survival statistics for COVID... there are things worse than death.

    Terrible that there is a "least likely to succeed" award.

    On call this weekend and it's déjà vu with all the COVID consults. Lots of young people who are really sick. 100% unvaccinated so far. 😔
