If you’re on Twitter right now, you are not the kind of person who is going to miss out on big picture analysis long-term. I think the thing to do today is focus on stuff that’s close, stuff you believe in, stuff you’ve gotta do, and stuff that brings you joy.

My heart hurts this morning.

Hi. I am a doctor now!! Okay back to work :) -Dr. Howard
