Today's TPS decision is so fucking cruel because Haitians and Syrians followed all the rules that they were supposed to follow and now they're all of a sudden here "illegally" because a bunch of racists said so. I'm feeling so much fury on behalf of the many Haitians I know.

Some days in the ER have you asking wtf. If I had a nickel for every patient I’ve ever seen with a sodium greater than 180, I’d only have two nickels. But it’s jacked up that it happened in one shift.

Six years ago I took care of a very sick teenager in Haiti and we got him eventually to Cuba to see a pediatric cardiologist. Today I found out he is doing well and has been accepted to med school. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

A pretty good read, and tracks pretty well with what those of us working in healthcare in the area know about Phoebe and other hospitals like it here.

I am determined to deplete the area supply of bromfed. So many kiddos with the flu in the last few days. But I’ve been pretty hardcore on the no antibiotics position with the parents.

One of the small rural hospitals has decided to stop stocking liquid amoxicillin because it is “too expensive”. This is the second dumbest thing I have heard today after a parent said they don’t vaccinate because it causes autism and they trust RFK.

This years flu vaccine is an imperfect match for the dominant variant, subclade K. The shot gives some protection, just reduced effectiveness. But you can’t convince most people of that, the vast majority of patients I have seen are saying they either didn’t get the shot or won’t get it next year. 🙄

My therapist has been discussing with me that I need to set new fitness goals now that elite bike racing is off the table. I miss racing cyclocross and MTB so much. So I’m trying to shift into a mentality of doing events for fun and fitness only. So I entered the lottery for Unbound to have a goal.

I’m disgusted, but not surprised, by the USA Cycling decision to change rules to prevent trans athletes from participating fully. The decision to enforce a “sex at birth” rule for categories is just bending the knee to the current administration and is opposite of the UCI position.

Well it happened. Yesterday a patient insisted on being admitted for URI symptoms because he was convinced he had the covid variant that kills you he read about on Facebook. He wouldn’t listen to my explanations and left AMA to go to another hospital that “isn’t a liberal shithole.” I can’t even.

Always take a RN with you when it’s time to have the hard conversations with family of patients. When they need to, few in healthcare can provide such a compassionate presence. Although look closely at which ER nurse you pick, they can fool you.

As someone who works at a hospital that cares for incarcerated patients, I can attest to the poor treatment many inmates receive behind bars. Many of them aren’t brought to the ER until their condition has progressed to serious or critical. It’s not humane. #MedSky

Over the last few months I’ve thought how my WW2 vet grandfather would feel about things today. He hated the nazis with every fiber of his being. He hated what they did and what he saw in Europe. He struggled with seeing so many of his peers dying in WW2. He would be mortified at the US today.

It was a fun meeting doing item writing. I feel like I learn a lot from my colleagues when we debate questions and the medicine behind it to determine if they will be good questions. Now a day or two off to rest before it’s back to the dumpster fire of US healthcare.
