I've never been more ashamed of #Oregon Health and Science University. Fewer regional health systems is going to do harm to patients and staff in the long term and seems like a way to blunt the effects of a looming nursing strike; since Legacy is non-unionized and their float nurses are expected to float anywhere they're told. #OHSU

just love a referral for "world-class care" at #ohsu that never goes anywhere because month after month after month after month after month the doctor is suddenly not available, over and over again

Day 11 in the hospital, and this is the first time I’ve wished for my #knitting. Just wasn’t feeling well enough till today. I’m pretty sure they’ll send me home this afternoon…

Imma say it again: #OHSU is the best hospital!

COVID Isolated People. Long COVID Makes It Worse

"Because she lives alone and her closest relatives are an hour and a half away, Tyshynski is dependent on friends. But she's reluctant to lean on them because they already have trouble understanding how debilitating her lingering symptoms can be."

"I've had people pretty much insinuate that I'm lazy"

A sadly familiar story.

The first free electric pedicab shuttle in the US opened in #Portland on 11/28/22.

Pre-COVID Oregon Health & Science Institute #OHSU operated a gas shuttle between parking, transit stops and the aerial tram on the front waterfront.

The e-pedicab seats 2 adults plus driver and is free to anyone with an OHSU badge. Looking for drivers.

Earlier this month, @Mymomthesurgeon, Dr. Arianna Gianakos and I presented #GrandRounds at #OHSU #orthopaedics on #WomenInOrtho #SpeakUpOrtho #Allyship #MoralInjury. I’m amazed at what we’ve done in a little over a year. The power of community and voice.

I am beyond furious. Had he been allowed to go to my good university hospital (love ya, #OHSU) I’m sure he would have had proper diagnosis and treatment right away. 🤬

UK friends, save your NHS or die trying. Don’t let them privatize you into a US-style healthcare nightmare.
