This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

Ilana Glazer and Kal Penn are sharing desperate messages from Doctors Without Borders staff on the ground in Gaza. ‘Doctors are only receiving a meal once every two days’

We’re making this video because we could die at any moment.” “70–80% of our patients are children and pregnant women.” “I delivered a beheaded woman who was nine months pregnant.” “Can someone please stop this terror and horror?” —Australian doctors, speaking from Gaza

If you’re early in training, or burned out, or moving too fast— Slow down. Vitals lie. Reassurance lies. But the body always tells the truth if you know what to look for. That’s the lesson. That’s the thread.

AI just beat doctors on paper. 85% diagnostic accuracy. The press called it revolutionary. Cool. I was cleaning blood and vomit off a gurney at 2:43 AM. 🧵 What Silicon Valley still doesn’t understand about medicine:

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dr. Samantha Garza. In honor of Sam's life, we invite you to donate in her memory to fund brain tumor research. Thank you to everyone who supported Sam throughout her battle. We love you forever, Sam. https://t.co/UY8r8g4MXD

It's always a good time to hug your loved ones and tell them you are there. It's one of the best ways to show that you care. 💛

SCOTUS just gave states permission to ban medical care for adolescent gender dysphoria (against the advice of all major medical organizations) At least 20 studies have examined mental health benefits of this care. You can evaluate them for yourself here:

The YMCA in Los Angeles is organizing supply drop offs for families affected by ICE deportations, spread the word and find out how you can help!

Today's decision is about undermining independent medical expertise and will only further endanger the health of the American public, especially children. https://t.co/SFgjr1ISn6

Women told you this would happen. Women who don’t fit certain gender norms for others will be harassed and put in danger.

If health workers say Palestinian children should not be starved to the point of blindness, will health institutions try to discipline us? (Spoiler alert: probably).

Hi @CaseyMeansMD - hepatitis B is primarily transmitted vertically from mother to child worldwide. It is a blood-borne pathogen that can also transmit via bites, sharing hygiene implements with bleeding, etc... i would expect the surgeon general to be aware of this

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past" - George Orwell "1984". The Budapest Memorandum signed in 1994…has disappeared from White House web site.

This is textbook fascism

*working in pediatrics ER* me: …and what brings you here today? kid: mom: go on honey you can tell the doctor kid: i keep eating cookies till i throw up mom: ok for the record that’s not why we are here but that is a problem

Forgive me. Emergency medicine is at an inflection point. The world changed. The systems cracked. The silos failed. And the question now is: who’s going to step into the space between them? We’ve been trained to stabilize and move on. But what if our greatest value now isn’t

Me talking to a 4 year old before I do their strep swab:

More than 350,000 noncitizen healthcare workers keep our system afloat—many serving in underserved areas. Yet they now face possible deportation. These workers aren’t just essential—they’re irreplaceable. Let’s protect those who protect our health. https://t.co/1T3TtqCX1v
