RFK JR: “Pediatricians who vaccinate 80-85% of the kids in their office, get these giant bonuses...And that's why they throw you out of the office if you fight back…You'll lose them their bonuses.”
US healthcare is in crisis: healthcare costs are twice those of other developed nations with worse outcomes. 41% of US adults have medical debt. 58% of US debt collection is for medical debt. Patients suffer and clinicians experience deep moral distress. ja.ma/3wYQiDS
I'm in the House Chamber and my mom texts "Let the games begin!" with these pictures of our first lambs of the year. They're not supposed to be here until May 6th! 😳 #mnleg
Losing a baby goat/lamb/calf/etc because the mother doesn't get up to pull the amniotic sack off of it after it's born, while you're in the house doing office work and could have easily been there if you would have known, is the most infuriating/frustrating thing. Grrrrrrr
@joshmcgoo I let them look in my ears or watch me look in their family members ears!!!
Or sometimes I’m goofy and go “omg did I see a butterfly in here? Is it in my ear? *lets kid look* Is it in your dads ear? *look in dads ear* Let’s see if it’s in your ear!” It all depends on the vibe
I've found when I had to look in peds patients ears (aged 4+) and said "count to five with me and I'll be done", and then give two pokemon stickers (one for each ear), it goes over pretty well!
Any advice on looking in ears of littler kids without traumatizing them?

If you're worried about the "supply chain crisis" impact on your access to chicken tenders, here's some advice: drive to the country. You literally can't throw a rock around here without someone raising and selling chicken that they sustainably fed themselves- locally! Not hard!
