GFR and POC
While I knew this about how GFR was discriminatory, I had no idea it would prevent Black Americans from the transplant list. 🤯 This has to change.

When people ask how I'm doing
When people ask how I'm doing I want to say, "My depression is an angry Deity, a jealous god, a thirsty shadow that rings my joy like a dish rag and makes juice out of my smile. But I would rather not ruin someone's day with my tragic honesty so instead I laugh and say, 'I'm doing alright.'"
This pandemic isn't fun for those of us who work in healthcare. We see the pain, the suffering, the death. Then when we leave with our hearts broken and tears in our eyes we get to hear the public tell us how bad it is not. We get to read the conspiracy theories as we are still mourning the life lost a couple hours prior. We get to have our family and friends mock our strict precautions that we are begging our country to take so they don't suffer like the man we started the morphine drip on today as his family watched through video chat. We experience condescending chatter as we don't respond energetically enough to those who minimize the gravity of this Virus.
I'm scared, I'm sad, and I'm exhausted. Tomorrow I will put on my scrubs as I go to work and potentially lose my life to save yours.
