@RyanWrecker The Man From Atlantis!

Got to interview Patrick Duffy and Linda Purl today - two awesome people, they were fantastic.

@Cactusrose5 @FieldTechFixer @FarmGirlCarrie @rmindler Yep.

@FieldTechFixer @FarmGirlCarrie @rmindler We followed it on our bicycles.

🙋‍♀️

@FieldTechFixer @FarmGirlCarrie @rmindler We followed it around on our bikes. That which did not kill us made us stronger. 😬

@FarmGirlCarrie @rmindler Yes, and in Florida in the summertime we had something called a mosquito truck. At night it would drive slowly down the street, leaving behind a huge cloud of God knows what. We’d be in bed, and when we heard the mosquito truck we’d rush to close all the windows until it passed.

@PlotWeaver @56keg @Arkypatriot Darwinism definitely had its place and we need to bring it back.

@56keg @Arkypatriot It helps when kids know the basics, doesn't it?

What part of your guns weren’t locked up does this mother think she’s going to escape responsibility for? If we had guns in the house, when I was growing up, we didn’t even know it. Don’t blame your son for being a runaway that stole your guns and shot up the mosque in San Diego. Apparently you did not keep them safe safely stored.

@3DaughterDad3 @JackPosobiec Complete with 1976 athletic knee-high socks! That is great!

@JackPosobiec The bowl hair cut my mother gave me before the big parade! LOL I'm the redhead in the photo....

What do you remember about the 1976 Bicentennial?

@DogFacePonia You mean we aren't Soylent Green anymore? 🤣

Oh well at least Ive still got my head

@NeuroSjogrens It takes money to make anything a priority on that scale. What gets funded get prioritized and vice versa. So, corporate interests fund the research, and in doing so, capture it. It is not right and not scientific at all.

Which priorities are most important to study when researching a disease? Patients'? Clinicians'? Researchers'? If none have the same priority, which priority ought trump?

@ryan_kellogg @RTHM_Health Mainstream medicine falls back on the "evidence-based" model that fails to convey that a lot of the "evidence" they use is financial and not clinical.

@RTHM_Health is building the world’s first health system that systematically gets smarter with every patient it treats. I recently presented at the Mayo Clinic Platform showcase on how RTHM is integrating Mayo data to help build self-improving care. Today, about 50% of medicine lives outside of well-established clinical guidelines and evidence. Too often patients are left in years of trial and error. We think medicine needs a better operating model: evidence-generating medicine. That means a care system where clinical decisions, patient data, and treatment outcomes continuously improve the workup and treatment of the next patient. Near term, this gives clinicians huge leverage and reduces costs. Over time, it will dramatically shorten the path to effective treatment for patients. Thank you to the Mayo Clinic Platform_Accelerate team for helping enable our progress. We’re working toward a future where medicine learns faster for conditions the system has been slow to understand, and where patients are no longer left waiting for evidence to catch up. @jencurtinmd @SnyderShot @MayoClinic @MayoPlatform @loscharlos @szacke @jerroldjackson @md_pinto

@thetommy99999 @MbarkCherguia 🤣🤣🤣

@MbarkCherguia I’d do what my dad did! He took me out to the middle of a lake threw me in and made me swim back! Harsh you say? The hard part was getting out of the gunny sack!😳

Parents — be 100% honest… What would YOU do if your child acted like this?👇

@NotDave3412 @Notwokenow Yeah. I waitressed at Golden Corral in the 80s in college...🙄

@Notwokenow Risk and reward. Depends on the restaurant.

Can you imagine taking your Mom out to Mother’s Day dinner or lunch and this is what you experience?

@clerpatriot That's brilliant!🤣

Spencer Pratt is about to get the SAVE Act PASSED?! 😱 Who else DIDN’T have “The Hills villain turns LA Mayor frontrunner and accidentally forces Dems to secure elections” on their 2026 bingo card?!

@Notwokenow A man-made mermaid.

I have some questions….

@RWMaloneMD @AP They're working on a vaccine for leprosy, I hear.

@AP Hanta to Noro to Ebola in less than a month - is there some point in time where the public gets tired of being scared?

BREAKING: A new outbreak of the highly contagious Ebola virus has been confirmed in Congo’s eastern Ituri province, Africa’s top public health body said. There have been 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths recorded so far. apnews.com/article/congo-…

@catturd2 @EstieMaddie @TheRealPikayla Agreed. Guacamole can be delicious without cilantro. Maybe it's no longer authentic guacamole like that, but I don't care.

@EstieMaddie @TheRealPikayla Why would you want to ruin Guacamole with cilantro that while take over the flavor of the delicious avocados?

I support this 100%

@DeborahJ53740 @wcdispatch The help is not there. Nobody believes it until they or a loved one need it.

@wcdispatch When my stepfather needed help with daily living to maintain his ability to live at home, it was unavailable. No approval for even only a couple of hours per day, for help with showering and meds.

You Paid Them to Stay Home Between 2019-2024, American taxpayers spent more than $217 billion on "home" health care. The annual bill climbing from $24.3B to $46.4B Americans were promised the program would SAVE money, EMPTY nursing homes. None of that happened. In fact, the opposite is true. We now spend MORE on nursing facilities than we did in 2020, and DOULBE on home healthcare. Another bait & switch leaving the American taxpayer footing the bill. So where did that $217 billion go? What did it buy? Or what did it fail to buy? The trail leads back to a White House announcement in March 2021, to a $400 billion proposal that never passed, and to a system that delivered the spending anyway. It leads through five years of data showing that the substitution promise—that home health would replace nursing homes—was a lie. A lie that advocacy groups built on numbers their own program now refutes, and what was built in place of that promise was essentially Universal Basic Income with extra steps. 🇺🇸

@Notwokenow @kwibbels1 I think that modern medicine is attracting a workforce not aligned to its traditional mission because it has deviated from it. There is very little medicine in "healthcare' nowadays.

@kwibbels1 Are you telling me excessive paperwork and bad bosses make them turn into soulless losers? Because I know a lot of people with those same job problems and they don’t do this shit

Why are there so many hateful people in the healthcare field? It’s always in the eyes…….

@PriDFar1 @ferrisbuhler81 I think Labbcorp does that also. It can be done in Mychart, but the data is limited to whatever a healthcare system's Mychart wants it to do and will only include labs ordered by their own providers. Sounds like Quest or Labcorp keep it consolidated nicely.

@KimRespess @ferrisbuhler81 Many like Quest allows you to put your various results into graphs to compare as well. In the past I have screen shot or shared my results with certain doctors who do not have a profile set up on quest.

You should be able to read your own bloodwork. Not wait 2 weeks for a 7-minute appointment, to get told “everything looks normal” with no explanation. Your health data should belong to you.

@PriDFar1 @ferrisbuhler81 The way Labcorp keeps a log of all my labs on my account in the website is an invaluable tool. It makes it much more simple to compare and contrast, compared to the display on MyChart.

@ferrisbuhler81 Sign up for an account wherever you have it drawn. I go to quest or labcorp and get my results online before my doctor receives a copy.

@JennXTex That never sounded respectful to me, either.

Tip for a happy marriage 💍 Remove the word “let” from your “couple’s” vocabulary Such as… “I LET him go see his friends” Your spouse is not your pet or your child Don’t treat them as such

@Sassafrass_84 I do find it interesting that with the rise of all the vaccines and medical treatments for pets, there has become a need for pet health insurance. Those repeat customers can be quite lucrative. See any parallels?

I only do the required rabies vaccination. After the first year, I stopped all others. Having raised dachshunds since I was 8, I noticed that dogs vaccinated yearly often developed spinal issues and died young. My longest-lived dachshund reached 14 years in the 90s, before frequent vaccinations became standard. Paralysis at young ages never seemed normal for the breed. I now have four dachshunds. All initially vaccinated as puppies. The older two are 8 years old, the younger two are 1.5, and all are doing great. This is my opinion only. Not medical advice or telling you what to do with your dogs.
