@whignewtons @DavidAFrench I graduated from med school at age 40 and am thinking law school might be next when I retire at age 90.

For AO listeners who ask, "is it too late for me to go to law school?" cc @DavidAFrench

@DPAC why would you sell someone a ticket for this seat?

@jbarro I share your feelings about vodka, but I put light beer in the same category.

My preferred light beer is Corona Light. That’s because it comes in tall, narrow cans that fit more efficiently in my fridge than standard-shape 12-ounce cans. I can get 9 on a door shelf instead of just 5.

@jbarro @roughtj If it was a Permanent Change of Station PCS move, then yes. And as others have said, you can keep your residence or change it if active duty. Most that PCS to a state with no inc tax like FL will change, like I did when stationed there with USMC.

@roughtj Ok and like… they loaded the car onto a ship? But not for a permanent relocation?

I once saw a car with Hawaii plates on Route 17 in New Jersey and I’ve never been able to figure out why that would happen.

@jbarro Topsail Island, North Carolina. (TOP-sl = local; top-SAIL = visiting from Ohio).

Quincy, MA… a much better indicator than the New England ones where everyone knows how they’re (mis)pronounced, like Worcester

@drleegross @jzaraterod A constitutional remedy for a illegal act of a President that resulted in the death of Americans and an attack on Congress is not an “eye-for-an-eye”.

@jzaraterod You can try "eye for an eye" or you can govern.

@drleegross @AAPSonline Congress needs to hold him accountable for his actions and impeachment is the proper remedy. The next would-be tyrant could be a leftist. Trump was incompetent as an autocrat but we won’t always be so lucky.

@kksheld Twitter is a privately owned company. If you don’t like it’s practices then go elsewhere. That is how capitalism works.

So many are getting kicked off Twitter and losing followers. Freedom of thought and expression are dying.

@kgbunc @NCHealthNews @HannaCritch @NC_Governor 1 number? So every institution performing PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 in NC is using the same cycle threshold? I’m thinking if you have this insight, you should probably also know that 1 number.

Hi, it's @HannaCritch ! @NC_Governor is giving an update on #COVID19 NOW. Follow the live-tweeting here.

@sarahkliff Is the first a sort or long?!?!?!?

Some big news out of the SCOTUS arguments: Justice Kagan pronounces ACA as "acka"!

Sen. Lindsey Graham justifies his treatment of Merrick Garland: "If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait to the next election"

Rest in peace Ruth Bader Ginsburg. May God bless her grieving family and friends. May God have mercy on this divided nation.

@NeuCare What he said was befitting of a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving, not a President leading us through the greatest challenge of our lifetime.

Guys, just stop with the politics. He did NOT tell people to swallow a light bulb or inject bleach into themselves. He merely suggested that medical doctors should test doing those things on people sick with COVID-19. So just stop it.

@AtlasMD A guy walks into his psychiatrist’s office wearing nothing but Saran Wrap. The psychiatrist says “Clearly I can see yer nuts”

Whats your favorite bad medical joke? Q: did you know diarrhea is genetic? A: it runs in the jeans!

@DeltaDirectCare @AtlasMD UpToDate has a very thorough article. Also used a Rubicon eConsult in this particular case to get more perspective. In the end we used the Infed LMW iron dextran dosing recommended in the UpToDate article.

at what point does this become criminal? khn.org/news/infusion-… Billed 14k per vial, and we can get it for 10 vials, each vial 2ml, for $278.21 – so each vial should be on the order of $30, that’s a markup up of 46666.6% Seriously…

@nic_fisher “No thank you” says every American with a sports car.

Forget all my small government, internal consistency is important BS. Can we FORCE every single car in existence to have a front license plate??!? Listen Linda, I haven’t owned a car in 14 years, I have no idea what a Toyota Corolla is, or which of the 20 cars by me is my Lyft.

@kgbunc Imagine having a president for whom the most decent thing that can be said about him is that there is insufficient evidence he is a traitor. Wait, stop wasting brain energy imagining...

Watched predator again today. Then recorded the end credits with the full house theme You’re welcome.

Then you were a poorly informed consumer. Xrays $40 in our office. Steroid is $9. Procedure is free. Office visit is free. #marketswork #directcare
