I’m so incredibly proud of my husband for publishing a book he’s worked years on. It’s a great book on nuclear power written for lay people who want a better, non-migraine inducing understanding of nuclear power, how it works, and how we safeguard it and the public. a.co/d/0i72D1uN

The biggest perpetrators of Medicare fraud and just fraud in general are insurance companies. Every last thing that’s wrong with healthcare comes back to them and private equity. We won’t get anywhere until both are abolished from healthcare.

Ended up walking the river in Pottstown bc the bike/kayak share closes on Labor Day. Absolutely gorgeous walk and I really enjoyed it, but if I were any town along the Schuylkill I would make bike stations a priority investment. It’s such an easy win for everyone.

Homemade chicken pot pie and my personal choice is to sprinkle some Caldo de Pollo on the top crust for extra flavor. (Be so light handed with it though, it’s basically bouillon)

I have an immediate and urgent patient in need. They are short due to medication costs and need to cover food costs until payday. Anything will help. We are filling out applications for MoW & other programs as well. Personally vouched for & verified. CA: $mstimpson84 Zelle: mstimpson84@gmail.com

Fuck James Talarico and his cowardly ass. And before anyone says shit- I don’t care if he’s the first Democrat in 40 years to be a viable candidate. If you’re happy to throw trans ppl under the bus, eventually you’ll sacrifice anyone and everyone else. So fuck him. LONG LIVE TRANS RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

EMS tip: After you call 911 these are the things you can do to help the paramedics on their way:

Secure Pets
Gather patient’s meds.

There once was a horse-puppy named Tonka. He was born on July 4th and tolerated fireworks but stayed for the hot dogs. He didn’t have it easy his first year of life. He was rescued & returned to the original breeder after severe neglect & abuse. Her Facebook post is how I found him.

My shift with the horse puppy 💜 Bubba came downstairs and lovingly turfed me from my chair with the words “It’s okay Mom. You need a good night’s sleep too.” Then Bryan came down around 4 to take over and let me sleep until noon. Tonka and I are blessed in love 💜

I really thought I’d be saying goodbye to Tonka today. His back legs gave out, he wasn’t eating, and he was chugging water. But I’ve got @sleepyneutrons.bsky.social. He took the day off work, hefted this giant horse puppy in & out of the car to the emergency vet & paid the bill without blinking.

All these stories of cops getting investigated/fired for misusing Flock and it bothers me bc this is literally all people were asking for this whole time- accountability. So we can do it for misusing technology but not for people dying?!?!

EMS tips for adult caregivers: Please, I beg y’all, if you are a caregiver for a parent or adult patient- have the conversation about DNR and Advanced Directives. Full codes are a traumatic event for the patient and the family. Get the DNR or AD and have a copy on the fridge 💜

Yesterday was a fucking day, y'all. Get everyone up at 7 to leave by 0745 to get to DC by 0945. Get there nice & early & sit in the "Surgery Center" for almost an hour. No one at the desk. Ring the bell & call the numbers it says to call. Nothing. Ask a lady, she says it's 2nd floor now. Great. 1/

The people trying to vilify and terrorize gender affirming care providers are only this bold bc they haven’t faced consequences. Bc they assume people will eventually forget the horror they caused. That ain’t me. Bitch I hold grudges to the fucking grave and I WILL get my pound of flesh from them.

I thought I had a near endless supply of empathy and then I saw a video of a woman who parked at a trail blocking off EMS access and she was upset that her car was damaged by the emergency tow they had to call to be able to reach the patient. All I wanted to do was punch her thru my phone screen.

EMS Myth: Calling an ambulance will get you seen quicker at the ER than if you self-transport. FALSE. Once you are at the ER you enter their triage system. You get placed in the line exactly where you would be if you self-transport. Call us. Please. We’re there to help but we aren’t a FastPass.

Hey y’all! I’ve been posting EMS tips on Twitter for a bit and they’ve been well received but the audience here is full of people who already know a lot of what I posted. Does anyone have any general knowledge questions or areas they’d like clarified? Here’s an example of what I post over there:

EMS tip:

Part of our assessment includes listing your
current medications. It’s worth having a
printout on the fridge for easy access. You can
just hand it to us or we can take a photo of it!
It’s a lot easier than going thru someone’s
purse or medicine cabinet.

Example:

| Current Medications | |
| :--- | :--- |
| Lisinopril | 30mg OD |
| Atorvastatin | 20mg OD |
| Nitroglycerin | 0.4mg q5min prn |
| Cephalexin | 500mg BID |

Yes, there are “people” who abuse the 911 system. No, it doesn’t look like what you think it does. 911 abuse is commonly perpetrated by nursing homes and residential care facilities. And they know what they’re doing is wrong, but there’s no punitive action taken so it just keeps happening.

Some really excellent replies & QTs: Rural areas- use those highway mile markers and exits! Look for water towers and radio/cell towers too. Urban- cross streets & transit stops! Suburban- cross streets, shopping centers, neighborhood signs!

EMS tip for bystanders: The first thing dispatch is going to ask for is a location. If you don’t know the exact address look for landmarks, businesses and street signs. Hell, the bus stop & route number can work.

I could write VOLUMES about this. But one thing that always felt personally enraging to me was that it exploits and ruins the potential friendships & community that women uniquely build. They train them to prey on family and friends and never get held accountable for everything they ruin.

EMS tip for EMS: Don’t just check your inventory for completion check it for correctness. An extended BP cuff kit may need a compound sphygmomanometer if it’s a single tube style. Brought to you by my on-scene “Fuck me” moment tonight 🥴

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE KIDS ARE VAPING ETOMIDATE?! In all seriousness this is so incredibly, extraordinarily dangerous. Please talk with your kids/young adults about KPODS/Space Oil/Space Vapes. The short half-life means ppl tend to hit it hard & fall into respiratory depression/arrest.

If you ever want to know why my heart will always belong in Minnesota it’s this. Even in unfathomable grief Minnesotans will urge each other to come together and build something, fortify something, CREATE something out of love and for each other. It is unspeakably beautiful to be a part of 💜

(Not directed at David) The larger issue is that Frey refuses, point-blank, to listen to Harm Reduction and SUD experts on what WILL reduce “open air drug markets” and falls back on Republican policing strategy EVERY DAMN TIME. He’s a small man puffed up by hubris and repeatedly failing upward.

Denying a surgery claim 3 days prior when it’s been scheduled for 6 months is unethical and should be illegal. All healthcare insurance must be abolished. The only people who can determine what you need for healthcare are YOU and your care team. Period.
