TPN at a medspa?? 🤯 good lord

🚨FROM SELF-CARE TO TRAGEDY: The Fatal Reality of the IV Spa Trend ​Just twenty-four hours after posting a glowing review online about a local Texas medspa praising it for making clients "look and feel beautiful" a 47-year-old mother’s life came to a sudden, tragic end. ​Jenifer Cleveland went in for what she thought was a routine wellness treatment. She never returned home. ​💔 The Deadly "Cocktail ​According to the Texas Medical Board, Cleveland was administered an IV containing a potent mix of vitamins and electrolytes, including a heavy Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) solution containing concentrated potassium chloride. ​The solution was reportedly infused far too quickly, triggering sudden cardiac arrest in a matter of minutes. ​What makes this case truly horrifying is the total lack of professional oversight uncovered by investigators: ​Unlicensed Administration: The spa owner, Amber Johnson, was not legally licensed to perform the procedure. ​No Medical Presence: Not a single trained medical professional was on site when the infusion was administered. ​A Distant Director: The clinic’s registered medical director was reportedly over 100 miles away. ​Zero Safety Net: There were no real medical safety protocols or emergency response plans in place to handle a crisis. ​When Cleveland went into distress, the staff lacked the training to save her. Despite emergency CPR and a rush to the hospital, she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Amber Libhart Johnson (Med Spa Owner) ​Amber Johnson, the owner of Luxe Med Spa who allegedly administered the IV treatment without a valid medical license, turned herself into the Freestone County Jail on April 28, 2026. ​She is facing 14 criminal charges, including: ​Felony murder ​Manslaughter ​Criminally negligent homicide ​Delivery of a dangerous drug (9 counts) ​Tampering or fabricating physical evidence ​Practicing medicine without a license Johnson has since posted a $69,000 bond. Dr. Michael Patrick Gallagher (Medical Director) ​Dr. Michael Gallagher served as the spa's medical director. He was also indicted by the grand jury and turned himself in to authorities on April 29, 2026. ​According to the Texas Medical Board, Gallagher failed to properly supervise the clinic and allowed an unlicensed individual to administer prescription solutions and dangerous drugs, resulting in severe complications that the staff was not trained to handle. ​⚠️ A Critical Warning for the Public ​Boutique IV bars are opening on every corner, aggressively marketing energy, weight loss, and hydration cures. But this case proves that behind the luxury aesthetics, some of these operations are cutting life-or-death corners. ​This wasn’t just a simple mistake. This was an unlicensed business playing doctor with fatal consequences. ​Ask yourself: Would you ever let someone connect an IV to your bloodstream without verifying their credentials first?

There are nights when I realize so few people on earth can relate to what I do. Spent 2 hours reviving a precipitous delivery of a 2lb baby born at 25w3d. At 4am. The baby fkn made it. I was too exhausted my nervous system too burnt to even process it.

A very special visitor came to Ames — the designer of the Artemis II Moon mascot, “Rise.” We welcomed Lucas Ye and his family, who joined us as we watched the Artemis II crew return back to Earth after successfully flying around the Moon. His zero gravity indicator was selected from thousands of submissions from over 50 countries. His design was inspired by the iconic Earthrise moment from the Apollo 8 mission. Congratulations again to Lucas!

🧵regarding Lord of the Rings - related traumatic injuries, and whether access to modern Level 1 trauma centers could have decreased morbidity and mortality within the Fellowship. Here we will take a more evidence-based approach to some of the injuries in Middle Earth (1/ )
