So when these celebs on Dancing With the Stars get all emotional and start crying, I don’t believe them. AITA or is it just all their Botox?

My husband asked me to try to get out of work a few minutes early today. I think I need a divorce because after all these years this man does not know what happens to a clinic schedule when someone says something like that. Might as well have used the q word!

I’m a lot more worried about things like adequate air traffic control when I fly than what other passengers on the plane are wearing. I can’t think of a single time when I’ve cared what someone on a plane was wearing.

I just had a survey sent to me that I strongly suspect was sent by the re-election campaign for one of our state legislators that was asking how I felt about the direction of the modern Republican Party and specifically how I felt about this Republican individual’s re-election.

I’m happy for LGBTQ families today who get to breathe a little easier knowing that at least in this moment, the legality of your family isn’t in question. It never should be.

I had a medical examiner case to work and I deserve a decent coffee for the drive home, but there’s no such thing at this time of night in a small town. 😒 Rude.

Not my 40 year old 🫏 singing “Colors of the Wind” at the top of my lungs as my child watched Pocahontas for the first time.

Currently stuck in the chicken coop with a T. rex because the wind blew the door shut behind us while we were gathering eggs.

There’s a post about ADHD Awareness Month on my feed this morning. Hilariously perfect since that ended at midnight. 😂

I really need an option for “It’s pseudoscience BS” on Facebook when I block an ad and they want to know why.

The teller in the drive thru window at my bank has on scrubs, a stethoscope around her neck, and syringes in her pocket. It took me longer than it should have to realize this was probably a Halloween costume. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Patient with OSA. Hasn’t been using CPAP. Knows they need to use CPAP. Wants to try a different mask style. DME company says Medicare won’t let them give him a mask or supplies until they get a note from me saying he’s using and benefitting from CPAP. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I can’t with this today.

I am convinced that there is some law of parenthood that says that if you begin to get caught up on laundry, multiple members of the household must be stricken with a GI bug.

I’ve watched copious amounts of TV in the last 48 hours as I am recovering from the worst gastroenteritis I’ve had in years and my most profound observation is this: its really sad that drug commercials have to tell you not to take things you’re allergic to.

People I don’t understand - physicians who come to conferences and are just sitting. And listening. And nothing else. How are you not behind on anything?!?

If you tell a patient to eliminate processed food, artificial sweeteners and flavors, cheese and milk all at once. There is approximately 0% chance that it will actually happen. *Evidence to support this statement? Trust me, bro.

Spending time with colleagues braless in my jammies because the conference hotel fire alarm has been going off for the last 20 minutes… 0/10. Do not recommend.

5 am. I’m walking out the door to my car to leave for a conference. First solo trip since my kid was born four years ago. But as I’m picking up the suitcase, I hear the scream. MOOMMMMMMMM!!!! I threw up in my bed!!! Welp. Guess we won’t be making that conference after all…😭

Never ever trust Meta AI. I just saw it suggest asking how someone enjoyed Christmas… under a post where someone had shared that individual’s obituary.

One of my new hens is laying blue eggs. That makes me smile.

There may be truth to this. I’m probably done having kids. A part of me will still want more, but they’re expensive, my student loan payments are about to skyrocket, and should I get pregnant and have complications, my doctors might get to gather and debate whether I’m close enough to death save.

Look at me, agreeing with MTG again.

I just want to point out a couple of things. 1) the messaging from these Young Republican groups is neither all that surprising nor in any way acceptable. 2) those of you who have been living in northern, more urban locales judging the South for our racism should note that these folks weren’t ours.

Compliments from a three year old: “I love you more than poop. And more than butts too. That’s important to me.” It’s the highest compliment one can receive from a child in this developmental stage.

When I was in high school and went to Spain they took us to a place that housed the remains of what was thought to be Christopher Columbus’s son. That, my friends, is some serious nepo baby 💩. Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

Threatening to jail the governor of a state for failing to protect the people he sent to protect the state against the wishes of that state’s leadership. If they need Pritzker’s protection, doesn’t that suggest he’s capable of protecting his own state?

Shark fact: Most "great" white sharks are actually mediocre. They're just extremely confident.

Broad pharmacogenomic testing sounds like a really good idea but adds little to clinical care. Convince me I’m wrong.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

If you’re recommending primary care follow up on age appropriate cancer screenings in a 90 year old patient, you really are just clicking unnecessary boxes. Calm down, yall. 😂

Every day I both marvel and regret how smart reading to my 7 year old son has made him.

In Memphis today to see my neurosurgeon and the national guard ain’t fixed a dang thing. The car that parked next to me while I was inside parked too close to the line and I almost couldn’t get back inside. I’m starting to doubt that they’ll make Memphis great at all.

I asked him this morning what happened last night. I thought he was nocturnal, but he feel asleep. “I’m both,” he says.

My 3 year old tells me he cannot go to sleep because he is nocturnal. Making me regret all these books we’ve read him. 😒

Today I was fussing at my husband about something. He deserved it. Pickles ran over out of nowhere, bit his leg and ran away. She’s a good cat.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Taking an FAFO attitude toward small farmers plays right into the hands of corporations who can and will buy family farms when they go bankrupt.

I just want yall to pretty please understand that family farmers aren’t getting rich. They’re just not. They take on huge amounts of risk every year with zero assurances that they’ll make anything. I’ve been married to my farmer for nearly ten years.

Didn’t have “Agreeing with Ted Cruz on something” on my bingo card, but here we are.

I’m here for a Kimmel/Colbert podcast.

I’M LOSING MY MIND

They really made a “Magic School Bus Rides Again” series in which they disrespectfully tamed Mrs. Frizzle’s hair. It went out of production four years ago and im only just learning that it ever existed, but I am offended.

Yall… if the patient is hypotensive despite no blood pressure medications, please don’t recommend a low sodium diet to control their blood pressure. Unnecessary dietary restrictions do legitimate harm.

That sweet moment when your exhausted child is just about to drift off to sleep and you hear their sweet little voice say, “Mommy…? What is Velcro?”

Hot take. If it’s an important enough drug that an insurance company will send me a message if it looks like the patient isn’t filling it on time, that med is probably saving the insurer money and the patient shouldn’t have to pay for it.

Points to the editor who decided to have the spinosaurus depicted as eating a modern largemouth bass.

Ive said it before. I’ll say it again. The Frozen 2 soundtrack is solid.

Yall. If a patient in their 80s has an A1c of 6.1 and their blood sugar is high while they’re hospitalized and on steroids that will not be continued in the long term, you don’t need to send them home on a new SGLT2 AND DPP4 medication.

I played volleyball this weekend. My almost 40 year old body says that was a bad idea.
