Physicians are stretched thin—longer hours, sicker patients, rising admin burdens, and stagnant reimbursement. With insurer consolidation and federal cuts, what does this mean for patient care? Insights from @docmom3.bsky.social via @kevinmd.bsky.social: kevinmd.com/2026/06/insu...

Maybe there is hope for the human race . . . maybe! “Pediatric anesthesiologist Amy Beethe couldn't believe it when a 4-year-old heart patient, a foster child named True, came to the hospital for surgery — without an adult.” She ended up adopting him and his older sister.

I think it's worth examining why they simply will not nominate someone who is hypothetically, a mid/late career board certified 3-time Trump voting anesthesiologist/surgeon or w/e. I guarantee that person exists! Instead we get people like Means. Why is that?

Gabapentin has been an effective medication for many people living with pain. It is particularly helpful for neuropathic pain when used thoughtfully.

I don't put in A lines to improve mortality. That's what BP, oxygen, Abx, time (and sometimes surgeons) are for. I do it to reduce discomfort. Which I am glad to say this trial supports. #LIVES2025
