Bryn Mawr Family Medicine Residency Program

01/13/2022

The front door of the hospital never closes. Almost two years into the pandemic, the one constant has been the hospital emergency room. But with COVID cases on the rise, demands on our ERs have no end in sight. All while managing the 24/7 emergencies like traumas, heart attacks and stroke that don’t stop. Main Line Health offers tips on what you can do to keep yourself safe and out of the ER.
✔️ If you are experiencing mild COVID-19 symptoms, it’s best to stay home and stay safe. Hospital emergency rooms are not testing sites.
✔️ If your symptoms worsen, contact your health care provider immediately.
✔️ If you are experiencing a medical emergency like a stroke or a heart attack, call 911 and seek care immediately.

In case you were curious...

vaccines will NOT give you COVID-19.

Vaccines currently in development in US don't use live virus. Having symptoms like fever after you get vaccine is normal + sign your immune system is learning to fight the virus.

Why FM: Being able to help most anybody with most any problem. I like that.
Why BMFP:
- I’m from here, I like it here, it’s great here. I love my job.

somewhere between 0 and 1.

Favorite Memory at BMFP:
- A patient recently told me that “If you have a crappy Thanksgiving, remember there’s at least
one patient who is thankful for you”. That was awesome.
