Saw a Hampton hump in the wild a few days ago. Rare radiology marker that can sometimes be visible in patients with a pulmonary embolism.

New pseudoscience from the CDC website, courtesy of chief idiot HHS secretary. The evidence supporting Vitamin A treatment is largely in countries where the average person may be suffering from vitamin deficiencies. The primary recommendation of the CDC should be MMR vaccination, full stop.

Portland Street Medicine is actually the coolest group of people I've ever met. Any time I leave a volunteering shift I feel so full of energy and excited. Doing my first on-the-street medical treatment round tomorrow 🎉

I refuse to join Bluesky. I don't want to become part of the echo chamber.

Hi Bluesky! My story: neuro research undergrad, taught myself web dev and worked in the bay for eight years. Became disillusioned with tech and decided to go to med school to fight for trans access to healthcare. Working in the emergency department while interviewing for med school right now!
