@AlobhaPatrick Not a person, an example of the organization. Or not!

@there_saproblem Example Of a specific person? No.

Many clinicians are narcissistically organized, and do not wish to admit it. Or are in denial about it. Many (most) display characteristics of “vulnerable narcissism,” but have brilliant justifications of their symptoms. Getting their excessive need to be “special” met by seeking special attention from patients.

@AlobhaPatrick Well like was there a specific example of the narcissistic organization you saw that led to the post

@there_saproblem In what ways? What specifically do you want to know?

@lb_412 @HalCranmer Leading with “I fasted for 40 hours” like it’s a W might be more idiotic than the act itself

@there_saproblem @HalCranmer It’s essentially the same as eating a large cheese pizza an hour before bloodwork and complaining your results are not accurate

Here's an interesting thought. When doctors see your LDL test come back high they want to put you on a statin. About 2 years ago, my LDL was 120. Then about a year ago I did the same test but fasted for about 40 hours before the test. That test came back at 200. If I can make the LDL number vary that much just by not eating for a day and a half, doesn't it seem weird that you are put on a drug for the rest of your life because of it? @Marion436842126

@ArtWallMurals @InformedVolume @Acyn Not disputing that, just saying your starting place doesn’t need to be one bead decrements

@there_saproblem @InformedVolume @Acyn You do at as slow as you need. If you can't tolerate the side effects, you go slower. That's why it takes months and even years to discontinue.

“Over 20% of women are on an antidepressant.” Trump: Is that good in terms of do they work? “We have a mental health crisis” Trump: Do they work?

@InformedVolume @ArtWallMurals @Acyn You don’t necessarily have to do it that slow, it varies. But it does tend to be slower than PCPs have any idea about

@ArtWallMurals @Acyn This is awesome thank you 🙏

@Acyn I mean the guy didn’t answer the question initially so

@AlobhaPatrick Can u say more please 😬

@there_saproblem As are most of them

@justalexoki NOT MINIMIZING but have you ever heard of The Mindbody Prescription by Dr John Sarno

has anyone actually fixed their IBS? is it possible? or is IBS still just a "something's wrong with your stomach and we don't really know what it is"-diagnosis?

@chrisaikenmd Chris would you consider doing a podcast episode on requests from patients to fill out FMLA or disability paperwork?

@Ravenismeee Suck it up, buttercup

To all men who survived rock bottom, what’s one piece of advice would you give a man who feels like giving up right now

@RichardHanania It’s when you put too much power in the hands of too few pairs of pants

The Atlantic reports that Kash Patel is drinking so heavily that meetings need to be rescheduled and his security detail has trouble waking him up. At one point, they had to request SWAT team equipment because he wouldn't answer the door. Some think that his drinking is responsible for major blunders like when he put out inaccurate information about the Charlie Kirk investigation. With the war in Iran, government officials are wondering what happens if there's a terrorist attack and he's too drunk to respond. Patel fired members of a counterterrorism squad working partly on Iran, and instead spends his time demanding that FBI merchandise look more "fierce." Asked to comment, he threatens to sue the reporters. Kakistocracy. Learn that word.

@0xQuasark I’d say this is anecdotal evidence but that’d be a discredit to the word “evidence”

A 26-year-old woman accidentally drank 500μg of LSD at a Festival. 5x the normal dose. Not knowing 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝟮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁. She only found out after the trip. Panicked for 9 months. Doctors had no data. No studies. But in 2001, she gave birth. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝗛𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝟮𝟰. Completely healthy adult. High-performing student. No developmental issues. No cognitive delays. No birth defects. Researchers followed up years later: Brain scans. Medical history. Interviews. 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴. One accidental overdose during the most critical 2 weeks of human development. 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀. The study concluded: "𝘓𝘚𝘋 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘥𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮." Seems that Sushi and Caffeine are more harmful to a baby than LSD ever was. (kids still shouldn't do LSD tho)

@Kekius_Sage Doy

Largest study finds medical cannabis doesn’t treat anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and may even make them worse

@Oedi_puss God preach

Doctors & therapists - just accept it - you will often be the bad object. Too incompetent, too malevolent, or too apathetic to heal properly. It sucks - you wish you could convince society that you’re one of the good ones, or that they just don’t understand. But you can’t

@BongoKronik @DrSuneelDhand @naomirwolf Well bongo, have you considered that they were mentally ill and thus sought treatment? Think maybe it’s more of an association rather than a causation?

@DrSuneelDhand @naomirwolf And MUCH less safe. Every single mass shooter is on SSRIs.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the mass prescribing of antidepressants, hasn’t made society any happier

@DrSuneelDhand True

@CoachSwit Sir this is an Arby’s

5th year coaching varsity baseball at my current school. Won 80%+ of our games. Still every loss: “What happened? Why’d you lose?” Because we got beat. Props to the other team—they were better that day. It’s baseball. Wins aren’t guaranteed.

@Cristiano I think you’re a tool

What do you think? 😎

@mike_daddino More videos please

It’s fair to say Brett Baty has been the worst player in MLB this season
