My (v cognitively intact) 97 yo inpt was nervous to try a recommended med. I tried my best to convince her it was safe & needed. She seemed reassured. When I left she said, “Have a good life my dear!” No one’s ever told me that before, & coming from a centenarian made my day.

The U.S. self-reported rate of mental health distress is similar to Canada’s (27%) and Sweden’s (24%). And yet…
Annual gun homicides:
Canada: 300
Sweden: 60
United States: 15,500
It’s the guns.

I just wish I lived in a country where both of the major political parties in power agreed that Nazis using assault rifles to mow down children in public was something that could be immediately and firmly denounced.

It's hard to argue with the data.
More guns = more gun deaths

Had a nice 30min Lyft ride with a Mexican driver. We spoke entirely in Spanish. It came up that I’m a GI doc. He asked me abt his hemorrhoids. At the end I walked 2 my building, called out, “Mucho gusto!” &he yelled in front of others, “GRACIAS POR EL TIPS DE ME HEMORROIDES!”😂☠️

Listening to a pediatric hospitalist describe his recent week. 18 kids admitted for COVID. 17 eligible for vaccines, none of them vaccinated, none of their siblings or parents were vaccinated. This is the same trend that every peds hospitalist I have talked to experienced.

Once again, US hospitals are filled to overwhelmed with people desperately ill with COVID-19.
You know what's not happening?
Not one US hospital is filled with people suffering side effects from the COVID vaccine.
