Two #Venezuela born #resident #physicians, one in #FamilyMedicine, one in #EmergencyMedicine in underserved Rio Grande Valley detained by CBP/ICE while traveling within the country (one just driving from one city in #Texas to another, the other flying from Texas to #California)
A research recruitment poster with a teal and white colour scheme. The heading reads “Have you needed Emergency Care?” against a background photograph of healthcare workers. The poster describes a UK survey exploring how adults experience emergency care, including decisions about seeking care and experiences within the emergency department environment. The study uses a neurodiversity-informed approach and welcomes responses from people who are autistic, ADHD, dyslexic or dyspraxic, whether formally diagnosed or self-identified, as well as neurotypical people. Eligibility criteria are: aged 18 or over, living in the UK, and having needed emergency healthcare whether or not you attended an emergency department. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes and can be accessed at EDSurvey.link. A QR code is provided. Logos for City St George’s University of London, CRRAG and GRRAND appear at the bottom. Ethics reference: ETH2425-1579.
UK Hospital emergency department care doesn’t work the same for everyone.
We’re studying why, and we need your experience to help change that.

Josh used to get in trouble for parking his ambulance in the ER bay at the hospital and staying there throughout the day. Ambulances are supposed to leave the hospital after dropping a patient off and go out to their post location to wait for a nearby call, but Josh always stayed at the ER until the supervisor chased him out. One day, she got a label maker and half-serious, half-joking, stuck a note to the sign that hung at ambulance driver's eye-level for Josh to see every time he pulled his ambulance into the bay and parked it. DO NOT IDLE ENGINES IN BAY AREA JOSH ER BAY STAY OUT!! The sign stayed this way for years, and then the pandemic hit, and then Josh died, not of disease, but around the disease, and then Josh didn't park his ambulance in the ER bay all day. They started closing the hospital a couple years later and the doctors left, and the nurses, and the ambulances, the building standing empty except for the ghosts. I was walking by the street where the building still stands (something about the historical significance of the building holding up some developer or another from buying the lot and bulldozing it all), and on a sudden whim I made a sharp turn down the block to the ER bay. The windows of the hospital are dark. The sirens are silent. There is no ambulance parked in the ER bay. It wasn't difficult at all to pry the sign away from the wall. As easy as it was to put up, it was that easy to take down. And, I thought, what would someone else want with a cruddy sign with some label stuck to it?
a bright red emergency room ambulance entrance sign with big block letters which read "DO NOT IDLE ENGINES IN BAY AREA". A small strip of adhesive label is stuck in the bottom corner and reads, much, much smaller: "JOSH ER BAY STAY OUT!!". The sign now sits on a carpeted floor.
Some #nonfiction today. A little essay on why it says "Josh ER bay stay out!!" on this sign, and why this sign isn't in the ER bay anymore. #WriteSky #EMS #EmergencyMedicine
