If Galindo wins. I will force a vote to expel her, everyday, until we achieve that objective! I will hold the floor everyday until she is gone. My grandmother was part of the kindertransport out of Berlin. Her parents were killed in Auschwitz. My kids are never going to “the camps”
Jake Sherman@JakeSherman
GOTTHEIMER and MOSKOWITZ say if Galindo wins in Texas, they will vote to expel her "every single day." Galindo is the Dem candidate Republicans are boosting in Texas who says she would turn ICE facilities into internment camp for American Zionists.

@RepGregMurphy Unless our government acts to improve conditions for practicing physicians, we won’t have an adequate supply of doctors.
English
Unless our Medical Schools do a better job of screening admission candidates, we won’t have any Doctors. If you don’t want to practice FULL time for at least 20-25 years, pick another profession.
Paleoncologist@JOSEPH45075332
This graph tells a better story than the average. Almost immediately after graduation, doctors start quitting, and it drops at a continuous pace for 25 years. No plateau. Just continuous decay. Looks as bad as some of the survival curves in oncology! 20% are gone in 5 years! 5 years!! They train for 7 years after college and quit in less than that. They get out as soon as they can! That says one thing clearly - Graduating doctors are realizing that this is not what they signed up for The gaslighting during med school and residency fades fast in private practice. Doctors are not dumb.

Excited to join a great panel discussing key policy changes + practical guidance.

@JTQuinnert @ChadDKollas @Publix It’s a physician trying to get his patient who is in pain the medicine he needs on a Friday. He probably tried calling and had difficulty reaching someone in authority. It’s not childish to advocate for a patient. It’s sad he had to resort to this.
English
@ChadDKollas @Publix This need to air grievances on public forums is unnecessary and childish. Grow up.
English
Dear @Publix
Your pharmacist at Publix Pharmacy #1506 will not fill a prescription for a controlled pain medication for a patient because:
1) The patient doesn’t look “sick enough” to be receiving palliative care, and…
2) The pharmacist doesn’t actually understand the definition of palliative care.
Please help fix this unacceptable situation ASAP.

@GoBlueMermaid @Dividend__Doc @dissproportion Not a psychiatrist - a physiatrist. She’s a PM&R physician specializing in helping patients with brain injuries. Most people don’t know what a physiatrist is or does until they or a loved one needs one.
English
@Dividend__Doc @dissproportion I’ve never heard of a psychiatrist referring to themself as a brain doctor lmao

A neurosurgeon who calls herself a “brain doctor” and wears a disguise because she’s so embarrassed by the fifth grade reading level pablum she churns out for adults incapable of reading fiction in the third person is a far more interesting plot than any of her books.
Variety@Variety
“The Housemaid” author Freida McFadden has unveiled her true identity. She said her real name is Sara Cohen, and she works as a brain doctor when not writing books: “I’m at a point in my career when I’m tired of this being a secret. I’m tired of people debating if I’m a real person or if I’m three men. I am a real person and I have a real identity and I don’t have anything to hide.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

@Niggle_MD Ginger ale saves us a lot of Zofran. Pretty sure all the thickeners we use to thicken up liquids for those with dysphagia would be considered processed. I guess no more Ensure too.

Med students are crying everywhere without their 6 oz juice cups
Sad day for America
Calley Means@calleymeans
Today, CMS issued a memo to every hospital telling them to stop serving sugary drinks + inflammatory processed food to patients or risk federal reimbursement. Bold, common sense action that will save lives. We are anxiously awaiting how the media spins this negatively.

We did it! We are staying in ☀️ state where I am going to fulfill my dream of becoming a physiatrist at USF! Thank you to all have supported me along this journey!

Unfortunately, I did not match in PM&R for this cycle. However, I am grateful that I have landed a Transitional Year position close to home. The road continues!

Help us get the word out about this helpful resource!
The @AAPMR Reimbursement & Policy Review Committee created short on-demand videos (5–10 min) to help physiatrists learn the essentials.

@AmericanAir I understand when delays and cancellations become necessary but don’t understand why the pilot announced the problem had been fixed and that we were just waiting for a new team member, when it clearly had not been fixed.
English
@ltshap We see the new flight is on a lengthy delay. This has been a difficult time to get you to your destination, we sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding.
English
@AmericanAir keeps cancelling flights out of JAX and not communicating appropriately with affected passengers. The worst customer service - completely unable or unwilling to assist.
English
@mclurk_lurky @AmericanAir They should be able to work with other airlines to help people get where they need to be.
English
@ltshap @AmericanAir Do you want them to add additional seats on the wings? I’m confused as to how no more seats can be fixed.
English
@mclurk_lurky @AmericanAir That’s a ridiculous statement. I know how to use an app, but it’s not showing any availability.
English
@ltshap @AmericanAir I would think an MD would be smart enough to know how to rebook a flight.
English
@AmericanAir Zero effort was made to assist any of the affected passengers out of JAX today. They handed us cards to call, only for us to hear we could not get anywhere remotely near DC for 3 days.
English
@ltshap We make every effort to assist travelers who have been impacted by disruptions. Our apologies if your recent experience was less than satisfactory. We look forward to another chance to provide you with excellent service.
