He/him. Rebalances the humours, climbs mountains, drinks scotch. Usually in that order. Usually. Hospital medicine, leftist, sometimes curmudgeon.

When I first read 1984 more than 20 years ago I appreciated it what we're was trying to do but I thought this is way over the top satire nothing like this could actually happen. The state couldn't lie this egregiously and have everyone just go along....

Many Dems have been saying since 2012- that the party wasn’t listening, were useless do nothings, raising money to line their own pockets, and no one liked them. We backed new or outside the box Dems, and you all told us to shut up and sit down, b/c we were idealist hippies. WE TOLD YOU SO!!!! #DNC

Lego figures of a patient and doctor. 
The patient says my leg hurts.
The doctor says that's not good let me fix it for you. 
The patient responds with what about the bill? 
Then the doctor says you live in Europe so don't worry about it.

I don't know if it's life imitates art or art imitates life... I think both Brecht and Kafka would both take a look at our health care system and say "I can't do anything with this it's already more absurd and dystopian than anything I can come up with"

So we all know that night time cold medicine is green and daytime cold medicine is orange right? So Walgreens...did you put nighttime medicine in a daytime bottle or did you just add green instead of orange dye to daytime medicine? Only one way to find out - see y'all on the flip side!
Three bottles of cold medicine. The first is nighttime cold and flu with green liquid. The second is daytime non-drowsy cold and flu with orange liquid. The third is daytime severe cold and flu with green liquid.

For Murderbot Diaries fans... MB is very clearly and intentionally not gendered, but how does its voice read to you in your head? Femme? Masc? Non-gendered? I get a very strong feeling one way, but just curious if others did too #BookSky #Muderbot #SciFi @marthawells.com

Comic strip. 
First panel: A character dressed like father time saying "I heal all wounds."
Second panel: the comedian of the bow tie and fake nose and glasses labeled laughter says, "Well I'm the best medicine."
Third panel: A doctor in awake says to both of them, "Seriously? Screw you both."
Forth panel: A visibly intoxicated person labeled WebMD says "you all have less than a week to live" while the doctor rubs the bridge of his nose in frustration.
