Sweet home, Chicago.

An issue I have seen in very athletic patients doing lots of upper body strength training. Thankfully quick diagnosis and treatment with surgery if needed most patients do really well.

Dr. Lanette Brown-Jones is an Adolescent Medicine Physician in our GO+ Clinic, helping kids gain confidence to care for themselves as they grow up with a bleeding disorder. Visit www.innovativehematology.org/physicians/l... to learn more about Dr. Brown-Jones.

I got a massage recently and the therapist said he would have thought I was in my early thirties and asked me what my secret was. I said it was because I tipped well.

Dr. Clickbait gets shit clicked. Amazing.

Hey @ama-assn.org where are you in this lawsuit you feckless cowards? Major medical associations sue Kennedy, Trump administration health leaders for Covid-19 vaccine changes www.cnn.com/2025/07/07/h...

I won't pretend I didn't see this coming. I am a Sickle Cell disease provider and I have seen almost every possible excuse for giving these patients "less than" care. But it burns. I hate this government and I hate everyone who voted for this government. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/n...

Dr. Clickbait is and always was a dementor for attention and his behavior is utterly unsurprising to anyone even tangentially involved in the heyday of MedEd on the old app.

!! That’s Nashville, **Indiana,** folks.

Lovely in person mini-med-Twitter reunion with @mdaware.org tonight was great for the soul! I encourage it for everyone.

There should be no "Designated Smoking Areas" at oncology conferences. Instead at places where people are likely to go smoke there should be signs that say "If You Smoke At An Oncology Conference You Are A Bad Person" in every language.

Lol.

I was sitting in a class, I think it was biochemistry, in medical school when I suddenly figured out a clue from my Apple IIGS version of GoldRush! from when I was about 12 that I could never get past. I audibly gasped and my friend thought I was just excited about ATP synthase.

ME: Give it to me straight doc. Is the tumor malignant? MY ONCOLOGIST WHO THE INSURANCE COMPANY REPLACED WITH AI: Regarding White genocide,

Senator Alsobrooks: You’ve been unable to address specific questions about your agency. Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep program operates out of? RFK Jr.: Guesses wrong 5 times Alsobrooks: It is the Eunice Kennedy Shriver NICHD.

Pope calls it pop.

Is this thing on?

Monday - Taxes Tuesday - Colonoscopy prep Wednesday - EGD & Colon Helluva way to start the week.

DST must die.

i had one of these as a kid and now i work in social media for a sewer utility. follow your dreams.

TRAVIS KELCE: fully vaccinated, body robust, played 21 games, won world championship, dating most famous woman in the world AARON RODGERS: takes fake vaccine, played 75 seconds of football before tendon failure, body as frail as a Victorian child possibly due to preventable illnesses vaccines work

So Indiana is (very predictably) about to pass a law requiring university courses to incorporate sufficient “intellectual diversity.” I’ve never taught Marx in intro IR before but you can bet your ass I’m putting that shit in there now and crediting the state legislature for it.

More personally, how fucking dare you complain about teens not having enough sex when the major message I got about sex as a teen was “we’d rather you committed murder”

Good. www.cnn.com/webview/us/l...

What should I do / eat in Tulsa starting tomorrow through Friday?

The man waited longer for the crown than any person in history... Life, comes at you fast.

This is going to sound more flip than I mean it, but when I was a kid I watched the Blues Brothers running Illinois Nazis off a bridge and the Nazis on Hogan's Heroes being pathetic dimwits every damn day, and I do feel like we need to get back to constant, vicious cultural ridicule of open racists.

Fix the damn racist pulse oximeters, now www.statnews.com/2024/02/02/f...

Attention product creators: Whenever you're testing products, test on darker-skinned people (ethically). It's just anti-racist, but it will also improve your product dramatically! www.statnews.com/2024/02/02/f...

They haven't fucking done this yet? Damn. They haven't fucking done this yet.

WFYI discusses HB 1426 and quotes @gbosslet.bsky.social describing GTC's opposition to the amendment. #Hoosiersky www.wfyi.org/news/article...

Some students went to the Indiana statehouse to discuss school shootings. A GOP state rep flashed his gun at them. Same rep has quoted Goebbels, posted racist stuff to social media, and said Uvalde was a hoax. Oh, and he’s currently on probation for a DWI. boingboing.net/2024/01/31/i...

i have said this on here before but the idea here is that it should be illegal for the state to remedy racial inequality because said inequality is, in their view, a reflection of natural hierarchies

Happy Thanksgiving. As always I am thinking of those who are grieving this year and who endure these days like salt in an open wound. Don’t judge yourselves for feeling like shit. Just get through it. ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving! It will be over soon.

This place reminds me of when I first joined Twitter and I'm just follow-crazy seeing new people and posts. It's... nice?

Good morning to where the skies are blue.
