@MaryBowdenMD lol

More gaslighting from the establishment. It’s not a “vaccine.” It was created by the military and foisted on civilians like guinea pigs. I’ve never seen such harm from any other product on the market. It should have been pulled a long ago. Those who don’t speak out are guilty of crimes against humanity.

@therealrthorat @grok @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD No. Elevated troponins would result in EKG, Echos, or cardiac MRI to make the diagnosis.

@bfhermann @grok @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD They absolutely do in hospital & everyone has known this for years. The patients diagnosed with COVID infection are often in severe or critical condition & not able to report symptoms. Even the study authors recognized this obvious flaw.

I told all of you not to get your kids vaccinated but you were too scared and too dumb to ask questions. Nice job sheep

@therealrthorat @grok @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD Total nonsense. No one makes a myocarditis diagnosis solely on troponin level.

@grok @bfhermann @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD @grok, this is false. These cases were not based on symptoms & other confirmation. They were based on troponin elevation alone, which is a common means of diagnosis in hospitals today b/c it adds to the amount of money hospitals are paid for the patient.

@therealrthorat @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD @grok How specifically was a diagnosis of myocarditis made in patients with COVID infection? Was it made purely by troponin levels as this person claims, or by combined methods as per usual.

@bfhermann @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD These infection studies are very poor quality. They use troponin elevation alone to diagnose myocarditis, which is a completely invalid diagnostic method. Troponin will increase in many seriously ill patients but it is not indicative of myocarditis.

@AllenJames6813 @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD All I’m doing is showing you peer-reviewed data that encompasses millions and millions of patients. You can believe whatever you want.

@bfhermann @adamcarolla @EithanDHaimMD Fuck off buddy, nobody either trusts you or believes you anymore. You did that. And you’re still doing it. 🖕

@SandyofCthulhu It’s Mongo from Dungeon Crawler.

The ancients knew about velociraptors.

@policywishes Aw thanks. ☺️

@bfhermann It's true. It's why I joined in 22, pretty late in the game. This is not to kiss up 😂but I do enjoy the content you provide, educational and just discussing important topics in your field of surgery and medicine. I try to tune in when I can. That kind of content I enjoy.

𝐗 has become the digital equivalent of a poorly maintained public restroom at a major train station; everyone passes through, some urgently, others just loitering, but the space itself is fundamentally a cesspool where the worst impulses collect & fester unchecked.

My thoughts on US medicine can be summed up in a few words: Emergency care: Awesome, wouldn’t be anywhere else in the world. Chronic care: Total and utter crap. Completely sold out to Big Pharma. Huge percentage of interventions and drugs useless.

@TheBasicExpert1 @chhopsky My family and I are 18 months into an AD&D1e game. Finishing up Isle of Dread.

@chhopsky Lol, very recently. Your arguments suck.

The replies to this post are hilarious. Many of the "no wrong way to play" types are honestly the most vitriolic jerks out there on how to play. They cannot comprehend NOT railroading their players or allowing players to have input in the game world that may alter their railroad novelization plans. I've felt for a while there are two different hobbies. There are pen-and-paper RPGs, and then there are storytime non-game practitioners who use the same language as TTRPGs in order to tell bad novels and fan fiction. But they are not playing pen-and-paper RPGs. They are doing something else. The sooner we acknowledge this difference, the sooner we can stop talking past each other. We are not in the same hobby and not playing the same game or games or even games at all. It's like people who play mobile games telling people who play Counter-Strike they are into the exact same thing.

@Truth_in_Number Ha I have many of the same.

My wall of shame. All of the propagandists who can't handle data. Gotta catch them all!

@avidseries Throughout junior high, high school, and college, I ran almost all distances at one point or another from 100m to 3200m. The 800m is the toughest race of them all.

If you've followed me for very long, you know I like track. This is my favorite race of all time. Most people think Dave Wottle ran too slow at first, and then had to make up for it in a desperate kick at the end of the race. But this isn't true. In fact, each of his four 200 meters splits were roughly the same: 26.4, 27.1, 26.6, and 26.2 seconds. It was the other runners who miscalculated. They started too fast, and then paid the price later in the race. Wottle ran the perfect race: Disciplined, even-paced, didn't panic even when he was far behind, and then had plenty left in the tank for the final stretch.

@kevinmd So you’re saying the earnings gap is due to negotiation skill? Basically the same as every legit study that has measured this topic.

Same hours. Same training. Same patients. $21,000 less in pay. We unpacked this massive disparity on a recent episode of The Podcast by KevinMD featuring Off Call co founder Jake Horowitz and ER physician Dr. Resa E. Lewiss. When the data dropped showing women emergency medicine doctors make $21,000 less than men, the immediate response from many male physicians was denial. The common refrains were "Not in my hospital" or "They must work fewer hours." Wrong. The study rigorously controlled for hours, patient volume, and experience. The gap is real, and it is systemic. It starts at the very first contract when women are often not coached to negotiate. That initial disparity compounds over a career, potentially costing female physicians up to $1,000,000 by retirement. This is not just a women's issue. A burnt out, unfairly compensated physician directly impacts patient care. We all deserve better, and patients deserve doctors who are valued equally. It is time to demand salary transparency and hold hospital systems accountable. Silence only protects the status quo. If you are in healthcare leadership, this is your wake up call. Catch up on this recent episode and join the conversation.

@policywishes Great news!

I wanted to give an update to my followers about an MRI I had on my brain & I got my results today & I'm happy to report no tumor was found. I can't thank you enough for your prayers & support. ❤️🙏 I've been through a journey for some time so I can't tell you how relieved I am.

@MaryBowdenMD LOL @ roasting by community notes.

Since measles propaganda is trending….. Measles cases are low compared to past years…..

@Bengal_DPT @DrDiGiorgio We considered it a draw. We were both pretty banged up but we finished our shift of course. The chief is one of my best friends to this day.

@bfhermann @DrDiGiorgio you win?

An internal medicine colleague of mine once told me that their chief resident refused to have more than 8 patients on their service because any more would be unsafe. Another got written up for asking a med student what their thought process was for coming up with a diagnosis. Another was reprimanded for criticizing an intern in front of the team instead of privately.

@_nonsaas_ @not_mynes @NintendoAmerica When forced to decide if something was posted out of cleverness or stupidity, the safe bet is always the latter. Americans know this. One day you may catch up.

@bfhermann @not_mynes @NintendoAmerica an american not understanding a joke. peak normal activity.

Hey @NintendoAmerica is this an official collaboration? This has ruined my perception of the Nintendo brand and will never be purchasing Nintendo products.
