You think stroke is an “old people problem”… until lifestyle quietly moves the age limit down. 😶 Stress, sleep debt and uncontrolled BP don't announce themselves early. Start checking BP early. Protect sleep like medication. Reduce chronic stress before it becomes a structural damage.

When I was a third-year medical student on my obstetrics and gynecology rotation, I spent time working with an Ob-Gyn named Bruce who had a favorite line. As he scanned the bellies of expectant mothers, he would ask: “Do you have a name for the baby?” If they did, he would enthusiastically discuss the name. If they didn’t, he would grin and say: “You know, if it’s a boy, Bruce is a pretty great name.” As the rotation went on, I started doing admission histories and physicals for women arriving in labor. They say we absorb our clinical style from our teachers. So one day, while taking a history from a woman who had recently immigrated from Cape Verde, I decided to imitate my attending. “Do you have a name for the baby?” I asked. She told me she was still thinking about it. Without much thought, I replied: “Sachin is a pretty great name.” She paused. “What does it mean?” I told her: “It roughly translates as truth.” She smiled. “I like it.” I was suddenly caught off guard. What had started as a throwaway conversation starter borrowed from my attending had unexpectedly become something real. A few hours later, another “Sachin” was born into the world. I have thought about that moment many times over the years. Medicine gives us extraordinary access to people’s lives at moments of enormous vulnerability, hope, fear, and possibility. Sometimes we underestimate how much even small interactions can matter. And sometimes, without realizing it, we leave pieces of ourselves behind in other people’s stories.

@IAmSteveHarvey The version of me that needed validation to feel worthy. Letting her go was grief and freedom at the same time.

What’s something you outgrew… but it was hard to let go of?

@kingberrykarter Offered him a 300k discount and he still couldn't show up. That thumbs was a goodbye oh 😭

Unless forgiven, a debt owed must be paid, no matter how long. I will collect my money back, this week I’ll be making my move, I’m not wicked, I just don’t like to be taken for a fool.

@tanpukunokami Japan didn't say go away. They said "who are who we are" Respect that 🙏

To my Muslim friends, I hear some of you want to live in Japan. Let me be honest with you. More than half of our ramen shops use pork broth. Even convenience-store rice balls often contain pork extract. Summer brings shrine festivals, autumn brings rituals, New Year means a visit to a shrine. When someone dies, we cremate them. And refusing a drink? That’s not really part of our culture — here, people pour one for you. This isn’t hostility. It’s just 1,500 years of daily life. And we have no plans to change it. Before you come to a place that doesn’t fit you, please — think it through carefully. For your sake, and ours.

A patient once told me they stopped their hypertension medication because they "didn't feel sick anymore." That's exactly how hypertension kills you. It waits until you feel fine. Then it strikes.

30 days is the bare minimum, not a guarantee. Stop now, hydrate, exercise, and test yourself at home before the real one. Don't guess with your job. 🙏

Injection hits different. Your body doesn't get to negotiate – it's already in your bloodstream.

@DiscussingFilm Nobody believed a Devil Wears Prada sequel would work. $233M later and Hollywood owes Meryl Streep a personal apology. That's all

‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2’ has opened with $233.6M worldwide. Second biggest opening of 2026 so far.

@socetyhatesjay MTN Nigeria has made a man abandon his clothes and his dignity. And the network is still 2 bars. The curse won't even send. 😂

As I am naked right now, standing on my balcony facing the four corners of the earth… I curse you MTN Nigeria

@elainesim28 The doctors are treating him for bee venom but the shovel is what has him in ICU. Love is a dangerous thing.

Please pray for my husband, he got stung by a bee in the forehead. He’s in the hospital now, his face all swollen and bruised. He almost died. Luckily I was close enough to hit the bee with a shovel.

BREAKING NEWS ON TRAVEL BAN: “Foreign doctors will be able to receive visas allowing them to practice in the United States, after the Trump administration quietly changed a policy to exempt them from a travel ban.” - New York Times This is a stunning reversal from the Trump administration after they realized just how much shortage of medical doctors there is in the US. More professions will follow. The US is finding out just how much they NEED skilled immigrants.

@ThrillaRilla369 HR will reject a 75-year-old's CV in 5 minutes. But that same man can run 200 million people. Make it make sense.

Crazy that 70-80 year olds are generally seen as unemployable due to physical and mental decline. But we’re allowing them to run our entire country.

@wing_tachyon Bro Saizeriya was the last affordable safe space and now even that's gone 😔

サイゼ普通に味劣化しててしんどい 特にパスタやばくね

@SirDavidBent @Girlie1666346 A man who's not desperate for power is the most dangerous thing to a corrupt system. That's Peter Obi.

If we miss a leader like Peter Obi in 2027, there's no hope for this country. He's not even desperate to be President, that is what makes him stand out from the lot. And that is why he needs to save us from the doom & plagues that await us.

@FabrizioRomano Champions League football at Old Trafford again??? 🔥🔥 Kobbie my man of the match. Glues the entire team together

🚨 OFFICIAL: Manchester United beat Liverpool and qualify for Champions League 2026/2027! 🏆✨ Who’s been your Man of the Match?

@jackrwilkie They gave you a great deal and you left questioning their entire business model 😭

Sold a car to Carvana today and I have no idea how they stay in business. Inexplicable.

@ESPNUK We go again next year

Manchester United can no longer win the Premier League this season 💔
