My comments with @ddiamond @washingtonpost more MAHA antivaccine pseudoscience coming down the road https://t.co/iFTmZ9lorK

Utterly obscene

Happy Doctor’s Day platitudes from hospital admin are the equivalent of the corporate pizza party

“…collegiality might make EMS personnel more likely to defer to the police, in part for fear that they’ll be perceived as obstructing justice by caring for someone who the police consider a suspect.”

I’m too old for this s#*%

Hiking rule of thumb: local guides will always underestimate the length of a hike by 50% and the difficulty by 90%. So, if they say a hike is a moderate 2 hours it will be 3 hours and you will want to die

Physicians, Your hospital doesn’t care about you. There. I said it.

If we cancel all student debt, ppl will want medical debt forgiven. If we cancel medical debt, they're going to want free healthcare. If we give them that, they'll want us to house the homeless. Then everyone's going to want a living wage. The whole society will fall apart.

If you aren’t learning from your patients, you’re doing it wrong

how come med school never taught me how to fix the printer in the ER

In 2019, I was a CVICU patient in cardiogenic shock due to fam cardiomyopathy. Had to get a heart transplant! This week, I’m a doctor in a CVICU. Got my Crit Care Medicine #fellowship diploma, & have a few shifts left. 🥹 Huge thank you to my #organdonor for this. #donatelife

My God. Read all of this. Mourn.

Incoming medical students walk out at University of Michigan’s white coat ceremony as the keynote speaker is openly anti-abortion

“day off”

Conservation is incredibly important, no question. BUT, Texas wouldn’t be in this situation EVERY SINGLE WINTER & SUMMER if @ERCOT_ISO would invest in an improved grid instead of taking profits and/or the Texas legislature would simply join the national power grid
