@CMerandi The Feds have created a problem by making it very difficult to be prescribed opioids for pain. It is only logical that patients will hoard unused opioids out of fear that the next time they need them for pain, they won’t have access to them from their physician. My opinion.

Pain Medicine News is the TMZ of medicine

@us_connie Indispensable

What do you call this tool where you live? 🤔

@jim_desmond I was born in California. I am not staying for this.

California politicians just moved AB 1421 through the Assembly — a bill that orders the state to build a mileage tax system by 2027. Not "study." Not "explore." Implement. That means tracking every mile you drive — then taxing you for it. On top of gas taxes. On top of registration fees. On top of sales taxes. On top of local transportation taxes. This is a commuter punishment aimed straight at working families who drive to work, drive their kids to school, and drive to pick up groceries. Sound familiar? SANDAG tried this exact scheme right here in San Diego County. Residents found out. Commuters spoke up. Small businesses pushed back. They backed down. We stopped it once. We'll stop it again.

@ZahoorAhmed1450 Haloperidol. It is a neuroleptic antipsychotic drug that could be injected. There are alternatives.

A patient presents with hallucinations and agitation. Immediate drug? A) Haloperidol B) Diazepam C) Lithium D) Sertraline

@MaryBowdenMD @TexasChildrens What about the price for an assistant surgeon? People are being stretched financially. Cash pay is not possible for many people.

Patient today came to see me to discuss possible tonsillectomy. @TexasChildrens quoted her $15,000 as a "discounted cash price." My price is $3760. Every physician and hospital in the country could list their prices on their website. It's not hard.

@JonErlichman Disney: If you are lucky $10,000

A 28-year-old man with cold and sneezing takes an antihistamine. He feels very sleepy after taking it. Which one did he take? A) Cetirizine B) Levocetirizine C) Chlorpheniramine D) Fexofenadine

@ZahoorAhmed1450 Ibuprofen probably raised blood pressure from fluid retention.

A 60-year-old man with knee pain takes a painkiller for many weeks. He now has high blood pressure. Which painkiller most likely caused it? A) Paracetamol B) Ibuprofen C) Tramadol D) Codeine

@CAgovernor Wait for summer.

California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule: ✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy ✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles ✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles) ✅ 17,000 MW of battery storage (2nd only to China) The cynics said it couldn't be done.

@doctors_squad The nurse I had managed to create a 10/10 pain level on me for a preop. I would probably opt for an antecubital vs any hand vein.

At which place u will put cannula ??

@us_connie I need those to replace the Onan generator starter in the RV.

What is this? 🤔 Those who know, know this is GENIUS

The Feds are looking at fraud with hospices and now board and care. As long as the service provider is trusted without verification, fraud will continue. Let’s go one step further and look at long term care pharmacies. How many are doing fraudulent billing? Start with L.A. area.

@ronsterd89 Around 1964

Look closely at the cars… What year do you think this photo was taken?”

@lippyent Ghost & Mrs. Muir

Can you name this TV Series 📺 from just this shot? Hmm 🤔 ?¿

@DrMedica_13 Chloramphenicol

Did u know? 🦩✨🦩

@us_connie Spark plug gapping tool

I don't know much about cars could someone help me identify this part? 🤔

@VladTheInflator I knew there was a problem when I went to shop there for a Kestrel anemometer and found they no longer carry them or anything else I used to buy.

Sad to hear

@jim_desmond Just another reason not to visit or move to San Diego County or San Diego. Will stop at the OC or Riverside County lines.

They want to tax you when you buy groceries. Tax you when you sell your home. Tax you through your paycheck. Tax your water. Tax your trash. Tax you for parking at Balboa Park. 9+ new taxes and fee increases between the county and the City of San Diego — and they're not done yet. This isn't government. It's a shakedown.

@C_3C_3 Different population with experts in fraud.

Explain this… Age 65+ Population in California: 6.3 million Age 65+ Population in Florida: 4.9 million Medicare Certified Hospice Orgs in California: 2,279 Medicare Certified Hospice Orgs in Florida: 208 Less than 2X the +65 population and over 10X the Orgs. Insane Fraud.
