Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country. 🇺🇸 #Kennedy24

Here’s the truth about the war in Ukraine

Milei isn’t popular because he’s doing Republican things. He’s popular because he’s doing libertarian things. Libertarians need funding as well as ballot and debate access in America for this to happen here.

Imagine if you were $340,000 in debt and someone was breaking into your home Now imagine that you called the cops and they tell you that they can't send any help but they will lend you a thousand dollars and ship it to Israel and Ukraine That's what the Senate just voted yes on

Absolutely. Positively. NO. MORE. FOREIGN. AID.

They tried a horrific bill with all three: border, Ukraine, Israel. Fail Then they tried a stand alone: Israel funding only. Fail Now they are trying to pass a bill with zero for your borders and $95 billion for foreign borders. You may already hate them... but not nearly enough

🚨Breaking: The US Senate just voted 67-32 in favor of advancing a $95 billion foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, and Taiwan without border security provisions: Republicans who joined Democrats in voting in favor: Murkowski (AK) McConnell (KY) Cassidy (LA) Wicker (MS) Young (IN) Collins (ME) Capito (WV) Kennedy (LA) Thune (SD) Sullivan (AK) Romney (UT) Ernst (IA) Rounds (SD) Tillis (NC) Cornyn (TX) Grassley (IA)

What people do with their paid time off is none of your business.

I can’t stop watching this clip last night from the failed vote to impeach Mayorkas. Look how disgusting the Democrats are as they literally cheer like they are at a sports game when @SpeakerJohnson announced the total vote count. Democrats literally cheered the invasion last night. Imagine cheering on the destruction of America as a US Congressman. People are way too passive about what’s happening.

How to get on the naughty list

The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has declared, “… the data support a consistent inverse association between fluoride exposure and children’s IQ.” In the meta-analysis by NTP, 52 of 55 studies revealed a decrease in children’s IQ with an increase in fluoride. Internal emails discovered through FOIA have shown that this extremely alarming report by NTP was hidden from the public by Assistant Health Sec. Rachel Levine. On my first day in office, I will begin a review of the heads of our regulatory agencies. I will immediately fire those with a history of protecting corrupt corporations over the public good and replace them with top scientists in each field who have shown a dedication to scientific integrity throughout their careers. This is a perfect example of the kind of regulatory capture that will end when I am president of the United States. Though I have spent my career using the court of law to draw attention to this type of corporate corruption, I will not rely on court decisions but rather on peer-reviewed science to make recommendations to the public. This is all a part of my plan to end the chronic disease and the mental health crisis in America.

10 tips for radiology residents to get the most out of residency I have made my fair share of mistakes during residency. I was lucky to have wise mentors, people who taught us by example. Tips to help you make the most out of your residency: 1. Be the person who picks out the toughest and most complex cases in the department to report: if there is one thing you implement from this post, let it be this. You will get sufficient exposure to the regular bread and butter radiology cases. Given a choice between reporting an easy and difficult case, always choose the latter. It might be an MRI for a brain tumor, CT complex craniofacial trauma, CECT for a laryngeal malignancy, an HRCT thorax with 10 different things going on in the lungs, complex congenital heart disease CT, the dreaded ICU radiograph, an MRCP of a hepatobiliary malignancy, a complex gynaec ultrasound, a foot MRI of a complex pathology, etc. It will be difficult initially but it is absolutely worth it in the long run. You get a very deep sense of professional satisfaction from handling complex cases well, whether diagnostic or interventional. 2. Develop rapport with referring physicians and surgeons. Be friends with them. You will learn more from a 10 min talk over coffee / tea with a top physician / surgeon than you will by spending 2 hours with any radiology textbook. Get to know the things they want you to mention in the report. Take follow ups of your cases from them. 3. Be approachable. Be the radiologist who the physicians and surgeons know they can trust to give an opinion on the complex and emergency cases for which they come to the department to discuss. You will also learn a hell of a lot. 4. Learn to report radiographs. Ignore radiographs at your own peril, master the art of reporting them well. 5. Seek to master all organ systems, all modalities: unless you are a subspecialist working in a tertiary orthopaedic / neuro / gastro hospital, you need to be an excellent general radiologist. Read up and keep reporting all organ system cases. You owe it to your patients. 6. Respect your craft. Read, report, work hard, be on time. Good old fashioned stuff, never goes out of fashion. 7. Respect the machines. Learn to optimise ultrasound, MRI, CT protocols. Learn optimum patient positioning for radiographs. 8. Never stop reading and learning. Don't stop reading even after you finish residency. A senior consultant at one of my previous hospitals read 1 radiology article from a journal every single day. Done day in, day out for more than a decade leads to phenomenal compounding. He also embodied a lot of the tips mentioned here. No surprise he was the most sought after radiologist in the hospital whose opinion was considered the final word. 9. Go above and beyond the call of duty. Spend as much time in the department as you reasonably can and see as many cases as you can, read reports of seniors and consultants. Might not be possible for everyone and am not advocating stressing yourself out, that is a recipe for burnout. But every little bit goes a long way. I did this in Grant Medical College as an assistant professor when my wife would be on her cardiology residency on call in Sion hospital. The physicians and surgeons would know more often than not I would be available in the department in the evenings for a quick opinion on in-patient and emergency cases. Again, you learn a lot! 10. Always keep in mind the patient behind the image. What is an 'interesting' or 'beautiful' case for you is horrible for the patient.

Dr. Ghannam, we are so proud of you and your accomplishments!

@GregAbbott_TX Texas is absolutely right. This administration is deliberately breaking the law by aiding and abetting illegal immigration at an unprecedented scale!

🚨 25 states have signed a letter pledging their support to Texas and its constitutional right to defending the Southern Border: ALABAMA ALASKA ARKANSAS FLORIDA GEORGIA IDAHO INDIANA IOWA LOUISIANA MISSISSIPPI MISSOURI MONTANA NEBRASKA NEVADA NEW HAMPSHIRE NORTH DAKOTA OHIO OKLAHOMA SOUTH CAROLINA SOUTH DAKOTA TENNESSEE UTAH VIRGINIA WEST VIRGINIA WYOMING That’s HALF of the United States of America standing up against the tyranny of the Biden Admin. If your state isn’t on the list, it’s time to MOVE.

Can we please let physicians own hospitals again? We know outcomes are better. I mean it cannot be any worse than *gestures broadly* THIS…

Thank you @UTHealthSARad!! ❤️
