Actively allowing COVID misinformation here was the last straw for me; I spent hundreds of hours on Twitter trying to do the opposite. Hope to connect elsewhere at some point in the future!👋👋👋

@chrissyfarr Yes

Is every child under the age of 4 sick right now? Feels like every parent I know is dealing with this.

Are these the top 150 digital health startups? - Who’s missing? - Who’s surprised to be listed? - What area is oversaturated? Reply below with answers. @CBinsights

@AshleyGWinter I mean you guys literally cut it open

Dr. Dubin is an excellent urologist & a good friend but I think it is a moral violation of the urologist conduct code to be sitting on the scrotum.

@DrGRuralMD 13 hours less of flu symptoms? In what world is that with it

@efunkEM All MRI for r/o cord lesion/mass should always include a screening axial CTLS spine

My mortgage company call center answers with a generic “We apologize for customers affected by the recent catastrophe” and that just perfectly summarizes America

@DanHogan95 Not nearly enough

@grahamwalker It's certainly more common as time goes by.

It should be criminal to run a customer service call center and not offer the “we will hold your place in line and call you back when it’s your turn” option

@khadijakamala That's not how it's working in practice in Canada. I'm absolutely supportive of healthcare change — I made this video in 2002 — but when the work load doubles or triples, something's gotta give. youtube.com/watch?v=EWrGZ4…

@grahamwalker Single-payer would protect patients from exorbitant charges and level the playing field with other careers: set salary & you do the work given you. I don't get to charge extra for students who take up disproportionate amounts of my time, even on my nights & weekends.

This is awful! Doctors are getting as greedy as lawyers. I teach uni. Should I charge extra tuition every time a student emails me asking substantive questions???? I'm expected to give my brainpower 7 days a week for my job. This is exactly why we need single payer healthcare!!!!

@Boghuma @AneeshMehtaMD I'd say the only common one is infection — all the others are "uncommon." Other uncommon ones: —Hyperthermia (malignant or environmental) —Toxidromes (Serotonin syndrome, NMS, sympathomimetics, anticholingerics, benzo/ETOH withdrawal, ASA overdose) —Thyroid storm —Post-stroke

@MaxJordan_N Not sure I follow? You're saying bupe does not trigger opiate withdrawal?

“Not any amount of buprenorphine will trigger withdrawal. Let’s take it back to biochemistry. There are many factors at play. Receptor affinity, receptor occupancy & dose of medication, so starting low is safe.” - Me teaching abt buprenorphine during afternoon chalk talks. #PGY2

@DruvBhagavan @jtrebach AND ARGUABLY THE FUNDAMENTAL FOUNDATIONAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT REQUIRED FOR ALL ADDITIONAL S’MORE TOPPINGS

celery is the WORST vegetable i hate everything about it and don’t u dare say “it’s good if u cover it in peanut butter” bc i will literally eat jumper cables if they have peanut butter on them so don’t bring peanut butter into this

I'm obsessed with these AI-generated versions of medical anatomy illustrations lexica.art/?q=f68b59e0-fb…
