Dear new intern who just broke death news to a pt’s family member,
It is okay to cry. Do not feel like everyone else is just moving on with their day. Everyone deals with this grief differently, and no, it does not get easier. Being you, a human, makes you a better doctor. (1/2)
I swore off Paramount+ because the app sucked on every device and I didn’t need another streaming service.
But all these Sir Patrick Stewart posts have me wanting to rewatch TNG and eventually watch Picard for the first time…
*Sigh* If you’re gonna use AI to _help_ write e-mails and essays, that’s your choice. Most of us can tell (not from em dashes or whatever, just from general syntax).
For the love of all that is holy, delete your fucking prompts when you copy-paste. It’s insulting when you don’t.

🚨 Discharge is NOT the finish line.
After hospitalization for pneumonia, does early primary care follow-up save lives and prevent readmissions?

Got a call for a survey from the Heritage Foundation.
They asked what the most important issue is to me in this election, from three prejudiced options.
I said the most important thing was to get the Heritage Foundation out of American politics.
They told me to have a nice day.😆
You work out to build muscle or feel good about yourself. I work out so I can look half as good as Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in a black t-shirt. We are not the same.
United Healthcare told us our peer-to-peer window had lapsed to get authorization for someone to go to physical rehab and deadass lied about leaving a voicemail informing us of the P2P window, so all we could do was appeal the auto-denial.
Single-payer healthcare now.
Happy Weird Racist Obsession With a 15th Century Explorer Who Sucked at Accuracy and, Under the Whitewashed History, Was So Unnecessarily Cruel His Monarchs Disowned Him Day to those who celebrate!
Happy Indigenous Peoples Day to everyone else!
Health grifters (degree or not) who yell in grocery stores or lecture restaurant servers or lecture scouts selling cookies at a booth are the same energy as performative evangelicals who start preaching at unwilling captive audiences in airports and trains.
Get your 2026-27 #influenza and C*VID #vaccines today!
Everyone 18 years+ should get their vaccines!
Everyone 6 months-18 should also get both vaccines especially if immunocompromised (if not, they say that’s more shared decision-making, but vaccination is a group project).#GRWM
Contrary to misinformation out there, vaccines are safe (risk of serious adverse events is extremely low) and effective at reducing severe illness and hospitalization so even if you do catch either, it will be less terrible!
Happy to answer genuine questions about these #shots!
The false dichotomy trying to separate “social issues” from the #economy is a major part of why we are in this position today. #Progressive #SocialIssues

We heard there was some controversy over bringing ☕ to a job interview. Our team has some serious opinions about their beverages that they are bringing with them no matter where they go!

I made this video a few days too early, but today’s the day.
#GoBills, much love to our Canadian brethren, and remember to vote against Donald Trump/MAGA’s nationalist propaganda in November.
In a time when it’s hard to convince voters that both parties are not, in fact, the same, Democrats relying on transphobic humor to appeal to…whomever? Is the opposite of winning strategy. #GinaHinojosa #Texas #Governor #GregAbbott

Two trainees. Same performance. Different evaluations.
Sometimes the difference isn’t the trainee. It’s our bias.

We wouldn’t be so inclined to immediately point out how shitty AI slop is if every AI defender wasn’t out here like “look, I spent 20 whole minutes typing prompts and my slop generator made something better than the original work it stole from!” and then showing us utter trash.
No one asked you to suddenly hate HP.
Put trans lives over nostalgia. Don’t put money in a transphobe’s pockets.
Don’t:
1. Stream the new show
2. See the movies streaming/in theaters
3. Play the video game
4. Buy new books/merch.
Do sail the high seas or use your public library.
