AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 10/10/2026All of my patients have a viral respiratory infection that's testing negative for Flu A, Flu B, & Covid-19, (in spite of local surges), AND none of them got vaccinated, despite the fact that they are all elderly, attending large group events, & travelling in planes, trains, buses for activities. 220

AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Scheduled my flu & Covid-19 vaccines, as well as the same for Spouse, plus their second shingles vaccine, which they have been avoiding for almost exactly a year. They will complain, but they are NOT a good patient, so they can deal with it. + Still slowly recovering from heat exhaustion, too. Yay. 010
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Because I'm very polite, I wait to experience my heat emergencies until after I'm off shift. I convinced myself that I was managing well enough because of the following: ✓ Ok hydration ✓ Normal, light-colored urine output ✓ Normotensive + Mild/moderate headache + Tachycardia (in direct sunlight) 121
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Holy shit... My atheist ass was raised Irish Catholic, but I didn't notice the *gestures broadly* in the Church until well after I stopped following the script. My Mexican Catholic friends are going to be equally scandalized by this development occurring under our noses. bsky.app/profile/sky.... 110
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 21/08/2026There are entirely too few cherries in my cherry fudge chunk ice cream. The cherries are ingredient #3 but contain "natural flavor" & several dyes, amongst other things. I recently had a cherry candy that listed the only flavoring as pineapple juice, so I'm suspicious of this "natural flavor". 020
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Took my life into my own hands by: * Making too much rice * Transferring it into a more shallow container to promote cooling * Putting it in the fridge to continue cooling more safely * Falling asleep * Missing the time window to check its temp & confirm it cooled fast enough * Eating the rice again 100
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I finally received my very own recall notice (for a DANGEROUS ATTIC LADDER) only to find out that @cpsc.gov BRB'd a week ago. I hope their BRB is temporary and they're having a very nice vacation. 010
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 26/07/2026If you, my direct supervisor, would like me to do administrative tasks on my vacation day, you should consider NOT snarkily telling me it is a relatively simple request while also cc'ing the person who conducts all of the internal affairs (Including timecard fraud) investigations for the department. 110
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Watching people confidently post their uninformed takes about EMS care in the USA and specifically in DC is wildly enraging. I've had to block so many idiots just to prevent myself from engaging. A hint: if you got your beliefs from almost any movie or TV show made prior to 2025, you're wrong. 100

AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Thrilled that my immersion in the Roman Catholic Church for the first 18 years of my life is now providing me the gift of understanding what's happening as the Pope starts cleaning house. My legalistic, autistic kid self is very excited for justice to be appropriately delivered. Fuck 'em up, Bob! 000
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Just had a brain wave that my mom was named after a pope. (His given name, not his Holy name.) Good money says she never realized that. 100% certain it was my grandfather's idea. Too bad the Holiness of it all didn't make her a better mom. Alas. (I should be studying or asleep right now.) 000
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Apologizing to my male pets on official Dad Day by telling them their musk stinks and I'm very sorry but they can't have female friends because it isn't standard to spay reptiles and we can't ethically fight the feral cat population with non-native tortoises and snakes. 110

AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I haven't had reliable access to reliably clean tap water since the end of February. The company doesn't warn me before it turns off the water. I love paying for the highly chlorinated, turbid water I sometimes get to use and never get to drink. 100
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 13/06/2026If I still lived in DC, I'd have routed my nightly run to the Kennedy Center. Weirdo doing walking lunges in the background while waiting for the scaffolding situation to resolve? It me. I miss living in East Coast cities. 110
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 12/06/2026I got to try to wrangle a baby cow tonight. Part of my one-ambulance road block was my strategically-open door. The calf said "fuck your ambulance" and headbutted the door shut to get around me. That's a smart baby. 000

AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Watching people figure out in real time that the vast majority of the law enforcement officers/agents/etc., in the USA are standard humans with average reflexes who will never measure up to the standards set by Hollywood or our own imaginations. 020
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 26/04/2026The delayed reaction of the WHCD crowd was a great demonstration of the average attendee's lack of experience with gunfire. So that's nice for them. Also, not cancelling the dinner is a great way to keep the attendees corralled, calm, and without access to info that isn't spoonfed to them. 030

AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 24/01/2026I understand the slippery slope of exposure to violent images that can lead to desensitization and radicalization, but you know what? You should watch.

AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 22/01/2026Years ago, I was driving to work (in civvies) & watched a very small child run across a busy road. Nobody followed him. Realizing this, I made a U-turn & drove after him, parking nearby & approaching him on foot. Thinking this was a game, kiddo took off running. I had to *sprint* after him. 100
AuDHD Medic @adhdmedic.bsky.social · 08/01/2026One of my elderly patients just had their regular monthly food assistance (which had been hoped/expected to increase 120%) cut by 55% instead.
