@EMPAthy_atrophy One. But maybe bigger? Sometimes it’s really a family invite… just bc the 4mth old was listed as an invitee doesn’t mean she “brings” a separate gift. But really 90% parties were invited to are “no gifts please”.

The corollary: You have two kids and they are invited to a birthday party. Do you bring one gift or two?

@LeezleC @TeamHerrold @snapbackBrad_ Something like 1.5 % of people like the middle seat best. IMO they might be sociopaths

@TeamHerrold @snapbackBrad_ I actually think this is likely.

I have the aisle seat. Woman has the middle seat. Nobody sits in the window seat. And yet, she remains in middle seat on a 3.5 hour flight. I don’t get it.

I’m again reminded that some people thought having Covid was a work vacation… meanwhile I am stuck home alone for 5 days with a baby and 5 year old and wondering if I’m in the 10th circle of hell and it’s been less than 24 hours.

@clhubes This has continued at 5 for me. And, she won’t accept she’s wrong, even if it’s a color or something without a middle ground. It’s exhausting arguing and never being believed!

@mmpadellan You mean over the old guy who couldn’t stay awake during his own felony trial?? Uh, yea.

When I cast my vote for President Biden, I wasn't expecting much. I just wanted trump out of office. I knew he was old. I knew he had a stutter. I knew he had a rep for "gaffes." I didn't care. Just wanted trump gone. Four years later, things are different. I wasn't expecting that President Biden would be the most legislatively successful President in my lifetime. I wasn't expecting him to help expand NATO. I wasn't expecting him to lower insulin & inhalers. I wasn't expecting him to create & recover 15m jobs. I wasn't expecting him to bring manufacturing back. I wasn't expecting him to forgive student debt. But he did ALL those things, and more. He surpassed my expectations by a lot. And he has more planned for 2025-2028. He's not a master orator, He doesn't move so smoothly But neither did FDR from his wheelchair. Meanwhile, trump is STILL a threat. He wants to be a dictator. He wants to stay out of prison. He wants revenge on his enemies. He wants to take away from the poor and middle class and give to the ultra wealthy. His Project 2025 will enable a national abortion ban to criminalize women seeking safe and legal abortions. His Project 2025 will take away the rights of our LGBTQ family and friends. His Project 2025 will transform the government into a loyalty pledge, not to America but to him ALONE. We might never have another free election. THAT is what is at stake in this election. We can continue to progress with Biden policies, or we can let trump destroy democracy as we know it. If you're looking for someone who's young and athletic, go watch a fucking movie. I'll take the old guy who needs a nap while saving democracy over the old guy trying to overthrow democracy who needs a legal team.

@kaylamellis_ My 5 year old demanded I buy kiwis for her, and I did it … 2 days later which she thought was too long! 🤷‍♀️ Seriously people, we’re talking about fruit, not diamonds. And I love that they love and ask for fruit (and veggies). We should be encouraging this!

I think what makes me sad is people are calling my daughter spoiled because she asked for a fruit and I bought it for her… a very simple, easy, reasonable ask.. like do these people never try to give their kids small things they would like? That’s so sad… honestly..

@DrGRuralMD @AshleyGWinter Yes, plus it takes less water to run than to wash things by hand, and if your household is small, parts of it may always have room.

I don't understand people who run the dishwasher before it's full. They are not to be trusted.

@dkirch888 @Zoe_Beausoleil Omg as I was not sleeping last night I was just thinking how I couldn’t go back this early… and I have many more weeks. I’m sorry (tho am sure you’re more sleep resilient than I am)

@Zoe_Beausoleil How are you doing? I’m already dreading this.

And just like that my 10 weeks of getting to just be a mom with my babe is over and I have to be a doctor now too

@MrsPA_C That was supposed to say pet death.

@MrsPA_C Not specific to per death, but death… the goodbye book by Todd Par. And Ida, Always.

@dkirch888 Wait for the return social smile 😆

Who would have thought I’d get so much joy from watching my newborn look at high-contrast images?

@babbymd Just no. For reasons medical and common life sense.

@zellnation @AmCan17 @acweyand @eatsthenews Me too. And much cleaner looking.

@AmCan17 @acweyand @eatsthenews I will die on this hill.

@gbosslet Share your recipe!

Made Sesame Tofu & Broccoli for dinner New recipe Called for something called "chili crisp" I had never cooked with that It is hot as shit I may not survive this my head is sweating and I think I perforated my esophagus My last words can be "don't use so much chili crisp"

@vmissandei @acweyand Not my field.. and I don’t think there’s any data. Depends on symptoms. But at least a ferritin of 30

@jpreotle @acweyand What would be an appropriate level for menstruating ppl?

Just your regular reminder that almost 40% of 12-21 year old females in the US are iron deficient yet most aren’t aware because we don’t have universal screening. tinyurl.com/FeJAMA

@drquinngyn @fuzzymittens Safe to say that if you are removing or considering removing a uterus, it is no longer able to house a live fetus.

@DrRissman To my 5 year old, it means you have a cell phone. Sigh.

Walking my toddler to school this AM, she turned + asked, “Mommy, what do you want to be when you grow up?” I turned the question back to her. Without hesitation, she said “A pink whale!” So I replied, “Then I want to be a purple giraffe.” What does it mean to be a grown up?

@fuzzymittens @mattsmeds Ooo now I’m curious. Does the risk go down if anesthesia gives IV meds? Or is it more of a concern if BP is longstandingly poorly controlled?

Honestly trying to learn here.... Anesthesia cancels a case due to high blood pressure because of the "risks". Are risks less if patient takes their BP medicines at home and case is done vs. if anesthesia gives some IV BP medications and does the case? Asking for a friend.

@kaylamellis_ Umm but you’re also married with twin toddlers so FALSE.

someone recently told me that being a resident is my entire personality and it’s like… ya, it’s literally what I do 80 hours a week.. it’s my whole personality because I have no time for anything else 😅
