Found out a family left a phone recording (audio only) while I was doing a procedure in a patient room. I'm not at all worried, because I'm not an ass hole to patients ever--but that's just gross and weird. End rant.

I have kind of an interesting dilemma for all my medical folks. My good friend has a medically complex kid trach/vent/g-tube etc. He's outlived his life expectancy by YEARS and is doing great Her son asked why someone should go on life support (heard it somewhere).

I'm tired of the hypervigilance that comes with knowing that public health is being dismantled and preventable outcomes are becoming more prevalent.

Sometimes when other consultants in the hospital are dicks, I enjoy being disgustingly nice and appreciative for their time and expertise. Mmkaythanks buddy. 😘

Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 Cherry Picking the one study that you Think supports your conspiracy theory while simultaneously ignoring decades of evidence and data to the contrary is Peak logical fallacy.

One of my attendings referred to the cost of a medication to the patient as the "financial toxicity" and this is one of my new favorite terms.

Listen up: I am one of those rare sex assault victims who actually took the guy who did it to court. It was a local scandal that put my initials on the front page of the local paper (not my whole name because I was a minor). You have no idea what happens to women on the stand or in the press.

We have a new Thai food truck in town. This is BIG news in rural Maine. To order, you can send them a facebook message, which I did today. Got a message back a few minutes later that said "it's ready, my mom just finished cooking it!" ...if that didn't melt my cold dead heart 🥹

I don’t think the education around antibiotics and thrombocytopenia is adequate… I feel like that’s half our consults. 😛

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Maybe reducing healthcare coverage and increasing drug prices while also increasing preventable diseases and shuttering healthcare facilities will end up working out well

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

And once again: ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF A TINY PERCENT MORE OF THE POPULATION HAD JUST FILLED IN A LITTLE OVAL NEXT TO THE BLACK LADY’S NAME. We ALL fucking warned EVERYONE, but too many didn’t listen or shrugged it off.

It’s quite telling that every week we hear that this incompetent fool is “close” to finding a relation between vaccines and [insert malady of the week]. It’s almost like we are grasping at straws. Yet somehow this is still fueling anti-vaxxers.

This message hits hard.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

How to make friends with a hematologist Chapter 1 1. Order a peripheral smear before they ask 2. Never get a CBC without a diff 3. Stop the heparin before you call for a HIT consult 4. NEVER order MTHFR 5. Order a reticulocyte count before you consult for anemia

We emptied all the frozen veggies from the freezer into a massive Tupperware, along with the rest of the chicken burgers cut up, the last of a bag of rice, the rest of the Japanese barbecue sauce and are calling it meal prep for the week (well, the first few days). 🤷🏻‍♀️

Something that caused significant stress for a patient this week. Instructions: Take 1000 mg of acetaminophen every 8 hours. Patient sent home with 325 mg acetaminophen tablets, without further explanation. Just little things that we don’t think about. 🤷🏻‍♀️
