The cost of putting two young kids in child care costs more than the average rent or mortgage in Wisconsin.
We have to do more to lower the out-of-pocket costs working families are paying for child care, and my budget will include investments aimed at doing just that.
English
@GamerEMDoc That would require ERAS to make even a modicum of investment in modernizing their system.
English
You’d think ERAS would have AI that could identify whether a letter was a narrative letter or a SLOE. I bet half the letters claiming to be SLOEs are narrative LOR writers just clicking a checkbox they don’t read.

@komalle5 We live in a country where guns are less regulated than uteruses. It's madness.

“Whether women like it or not”
Neatly sums up the anti-choice movement. A group of politicians deciding what is right for women “whether they like it or not” in order to “protect” them.
We do not, in fact, like it when the government controls our bodies.
Woman must #vote!

@DGlaucomflecken How could anyone love the eyeball? It's basically a salty grape.

I truly do not think anybody loves the organ they specialize in more than nephrologists love the kidney

Unedited love song for the kidneys during #nephjc party #kidneywk All the applause go to @Maximal_Change

@FLTDOC1 Shears, hemostat (for clamping tube), stethoscope, 10cc syringe, pen, zofran ODT (for me), paper, peds dosing card.

Also applicable to how much kit you carry on a prehospital run...

@FLTDOC1 @Rainmaker1973 Don't let science get in the way of a great business opportunity!

@Rainmaker1973 None of these anti-choking devices are FDA approved. There's no good research to support their use
English
In an Automatic Choking Rescue Device, air is forced out of the sides of the device, which creates a vacuum that (in theory) sucks the object out of the airway when the lever is immediately pulled back again.

Your next patient presents with altered mental status. There isn’t much history because they were found down, but they do have an indwelling vascular catheter in the right upper chest. There’s a fruity aroma in the air. EKG is below.
Residents/students: ddx? Immediate treatment?

@heytherejeffro I knew he was regressive, but I didn't know he was "those damn Irish" regressive.

It has come to my attention that JD Vance confidently doesn't know how anything has ever worked throughout the entirety of human history.

Vance: Has anybody seen the movie "Gangs of New York?." That is what I'm talking about, with these ethnic enclaves in our country, it can lead to higher crime rates.

Man, I was SUCH a big fan of his at one point. He’s a dominant force in the middle if he gets his head in straight

@IwriteOK Honestly when was the last time NASA announced that they discovered a space whale

@Sim_Doc @JasonKPargin Same! I lived in Wisconsin at the time. She never came.
English
This is spectacularly untrue

This is why I cringe when people say "wow Kamala has the juice!! I haven't seen this since Obama!" Yes you have, it was called the Clinton 2016 campaign. She was the media darling, had the vaunted "ground game," and Trump was constantly clowned for gaffs, barely having GOTV, etc.
English
@RickShag @JasonKPargin In my swing state that went red for the first time in 20 years in 2016, I saw Bernie *twice* within walking distance of my house, and Hillary never even came to the state once.
English
@JasonKPargin Agreed. For my part, I'll never forget how she just decided she didn't need to go to a bunch of critical swing states in person to campaign.

EM PS writing tip:
I realize ER/ED/EM docs are commonly used phrases, but try to standardize your PS correctly.
ED is term for the location we work in (not ER). EM is the specialty.
For instance, we are EM physicians, not ED physicians. And ER is an outdated term from 30 years ago.

@TheJoeMarino Using all your media outlets to complain about traffic patterns is the most upstate NY thing I could ever imagine

@moonlight_scum @ellorysmith It sounds like @GamefullyUn 's podcast Fox Mulder is a Maniac might be for you! They recently completed the entire (!) original series.

I love the x files, have rewatched endlessly… so it’s with an academic’s lens I say this: the alien episodes are not as good as the supernatural / monster ones
