That delicious *anxiety* I get when I’m waterboarded with new information and systems to learn should be studied. I’m vibrating with panic and joy at the same time lol.

IN THIS HOUSE WE STAND WITH ILHAN ALL DAY AND EVERY DAY 🔥🔥🔥 She’s genuinely and honestly one of the greatest civil servants I’ve had the pleasure to meet and know. She champions her constituents with every molecule in her body for the very best life she can help them build. She. Is. The. Best.

You’ll reach flow state so quick in an emergency it’ll seem like a dream later.

You’ve absolutely got this Charles 💜💜💜 The first time you use it is the biggest hurdle and you’ll be shocked (haha) at how smooth it goes IRL.

1000%. If I’m invited to these conversations it’s as a respectful observer as well. I’m there to listen and learn.

As a (very) diluted Hispanic who was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley there IS a conversation to be had about “Latinos for Trump”/Tejanos and the diaspora that is affected by it. But it’s an in-house conversation and it’s being had. Outside takes are not productive right now.

Just weighing in to say follow that titration as directed. Beyond adrenal suppression you can risk serious systemic effects like BP, high HR, and steroid psychosis which are rare but not worth the risk 💜💜💜

I need to add here that silicosis was still diagnosed even after “aggressive” protection equipment & procedures were put in place for the stonecutters. There is no countertop or remodel worth someone’s lungs or life.

The “cool” thing about bacteria is that you don’t need to alter the main chromosomal genome to change its virulence/pathogenic properties. They have smaller circular DNA called plasmids that can be constructed and available for uptake. Which is great if you don’t have nefarious world-ending plans…

One thing I’m never going to accept or walk past is a bitter provider. If you are professionally burnt-out or unhappy to the point of compromising patient care you can expect to find my foot on your fucking neck until you fix yourself or quit. Either way works for me.

It is categorically insane how much healthcare costs in the US and how that never translates to adequate pay or safe staffing or better patient outcomes. All to ensure a profit margin for a handful of companies.

I’m still appalled that not ONE event staffer there called a halt or questioned letting her continue.

EMS tip: We do not get paid based on how many patients we transport. We barely get paid at all. If EMS’ advice is to go and get checked out it’s bc we genuinely believe you would benefit from higher-level care.

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 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

A lot of times someone has another person with them while we’re in transit who can do this.

I’m ALL for continuous communication but at some point we are stretching ourselves past breakpoint not bc these women are incapable of understanding but bc they need their feelings bolstered after having done real harm to people around them. That’s not a sci-comm issue that’s a mental disorder.
