Re-upping this from days of yore since Jon Stewart is trending again.

My wife: hey Tom the Internet is REALLY slow. Me: oh let me reset the router [Goes to gaming PC and hits pause on 200gb download] Me: Try it now! Wife: thanks whatever you did fixed it

I'm mad at Morty because she's about to win our fantasy league. I told her not to draft Christian McCaffrey because of his injury history and he's going to lead the league in runs + receptions. She also drafted her team based on overall "handsomeness". Only @drsandman11.medsky.social can stop her.

If you or your child are unvaccinated and get measles please seek care from MD Breathe as she is the only physician in the history of medicine to never have a poor outcome in the course of treating a patient.

My brother is a tech dude. He got his dream job working for NVIDIA on their autonomous driving program. He left after two weeks because it's run by a bunch of idiots.

Dad joke of the day: What did Adam say to Eve today? It's Christmas, Eve!

I did not make this meme it's from twitter user @lunas_ra

Pediatrics corner: Avoid using terms like beautiful and cute when describing kids old enough to understand because it teaches them that beauty is the most important attribute. Sweet, kind, cool, awesome, and great are preferred alternatives.

Hippie coffee shop... Me: yes I would like a drip coffee with cream and sugar please. Them: we don't have cream and sugar. We can do coconut milk and agave? Me: Sure (😥)

Damn it's really been 5 years since I've felt hope.

How about like this?

CBS News is holding a story on Lake Laogai because Ba Sing Se officials were not given the opportunity to comment.

The ages and stages questionnaire that we use to evaluate the development in 2 year olds has a question about identifying animals based on an image.

Someone should drop that tree right on his driveway and then leave.

Australia uses a single dose of HPV9 (Gardasil). In the US it's a 2 or 3 dose series depending on the age of the 1st dose. This is a worthy conversation that we should have if we had a competent HHS.

Look at me I'm in Nebraska!

If there is a tamiflu shortage this year I blame twitter's #1 catastrophist EFD for advising people to stockpile prescription antivirals.

The number of infants I have taken care of this week with influenza and parents afraid to give them Tylenol is more than zero. Thanks RFKj.

As a doctor I recommend the AAP childhood vaccine schedule. 😎

Want to impress your friends and family this holiday season with obscure holiday knowledge? A deep dive into the medical conditions likely afflicting Tiny Tim by the late pediatric nephrologist Russell Chesney: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

There's two ways to do this: 1. Give fewer of the existing shots 2. Remove components from the existing vaccine schedule The problem with #1 is the FDA approval and RCTs are based on the schedule as defined. The problem with #2 is how do you pick which diseases to no longer protect against?

Number of flu shots given by the median ENT over their entire career: 0

YEARLY TAMIFLU PSA: If you google "pediatric tamiflu dosing" the first chart in the search results shows the dosing guide for the 12mg/ml suspension. This is not the common commercially available concentration and is completely incorrect. Please use the second one if you're gonna do this.

Pretty cool seeing a: Adult C-T surgeon (Oz) Non-boarded non-clinical MD (JayB) Urologist (Adm. Christine) Abdominal surgeon (Makary) FUCKING NOBODY (Jim O'Neill) Tell us to stop blackmailing parents. None of these doctors has ever treated a pediatric patient with gender incongruence.

The executive order from January already took away medications (hormone therapy, puberty blockers, oral contraceptives for gender affirming uses). The only things that our local pediatric gender care clinic can still do for minors is counseling. RFKj wants to get rid of counseling.

Things that most pediatricians support but RFKj hates: Vaccines Fluoride The AAP Stimulants for ADHD Antidepressants Gender affirming care Gun Control Paul Offit and Tony Fauci Seed oils mifepristone Infant formula

The future of medicine:

Dear Blue Cross/Blue Shield. If a patient with a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease has a witnessed transfusion reaction to remicade in their rheumatology clinic you can't demand they get another infusion of remicade before you will cover an alternative.

When you've lost TIM POOL!

When it happens... "I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person... He became like a deranged person. So I was not a fan of [you know who] at all in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country".

We can work around bad ACIP recommendations as long as the AAP and other professional organizations have our back. We cannot work with a black box warning. This would mean the end of pediatric covid vaccines for general use.

Antivaxxer Simon Goddek in a tweet from today (since deleted):

One time I was talking to a patient and I asked if they were on the naughty list or the nice list. The kid said "nice list". I replied "that's not what I heard." That kid cried and cried but deep down I think they appreciated the joke.

Bluesky consists only of people right on the cusp of understanding the reference "O'Doyle Rules!"

I'm not going to screen shot it because I don't want to spread her hate but MD Breathe is over on twitter calling out individual members of the Texas Medical Board and encouraging her army of followers to harass them. This is after they voted yesterday to deny her a new hearing.

Our cat also likes the heat output from my Nvidia graphics card. #caturday

His medical license was revoked this year and he also has had formal board action for having an inappropriate relationship with a patient's mother.

MD Breathe had her hearing with the Texas medical board today to appeal her formal reprimand from her actions in 2021 related to giving ivermectin to a hospitalized patient at a facility where she did not have privileges. She lost.

And 65% women!

Dear Arash Azizi, In 2021 we terminated an employee because they refused to get vaccinated for COVID. We said "If you want to keep working here you have to get it." Did that person merit an exhaustive process and worker protections?

Pro tip: Nvidia graphics cards put out so much heat you can use your desktop PC to keep your cheeseburger warm.

High School government teachers can use this as an example of packing & cracking.
