These doctors are shocked that Trump used their Facebook group for COVID-19 research: by abebrown716
None of them, Moody says, reached out to her, leaving her surprised when friends began altering her to EM Docs’ entrance into American politics. She hadn’t noticed Kloss’ original posts on the Facebook group either. “With that many doctors in the group, I don’t see everything that’s posted,” she says. Plus, she’s been busy. “72 hours is just what I've scheduled in six days. But, of course, I never leave on time.
Moody originally started an earlier Facebook group dedicated to resident doctors who were also parents . That group didn’t take off, but Moody started EM Docs soon after in 2013, convinced that there would be other doctors out there who wanted to swap best practices and share information that could help patients.
“If you want knowledge that's five years old, go to the textbooks. If you want knowledge that’s a year-and-a-half old or so, go to the journals. But if you want knowledge that is brand new, then you need to go to forums like this, where people are, and the knowledge sharing is much quicker,” she says.
Moody is as skilled a politician as the best in the Beltway, describing her reaction to Trump’s use of her group as “a wonderful extension of the knowledge sharing that we've been doing.” Another EM Docs administrator, Pamela Ross, a pediatric emergency physician in Troy, Virginia, had sharper words.
“Our experience and perspectives mean nothing, however, without the funding to robustly support all Emergency Departments across America. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, we are there,” Ross says in a Facebook message. “There will be among us those who will give their lives to care for our patients. We can't do what we do without laws and congressional budgets that support us to the highest degree.
