The hill that I will die on is that identical twins as adults are absolutely not the same ones they were named at birth, unless they were switched an even number of times 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

it’s a lot of pressure caring for an organ that can’t just be transplanted
During medical training and early parenthood, I used to think my superpower was the ability to fall asleep anytime & anywhere. Turns out I was just profoundly sleep-deprived.
All due respect, if you didn’t look like this in the spring of 2020, I don’t really care about your opinion of Dr Fauci
I love when people share their creations made from my coloring book designs - this one is beautiful. I especially love the tendrils of green oming up and out of it 💚🍃☘️

Amazing #MedEd quick read. 'I have found a new pedagogy—one that measures its success not only in cycles of chemo or exams passed, but in the courage to speak truth, the grace to relinquish control, and the humility to recognize that sometimes, the most healing thing we can teach is how to let go.'

Rhea Liang@liangrhea.bsky.social · last wk.35.4% of pts with very high risk died within 48 hours of surgery, and 77.2% of those changed to end-of-life/comfort care in that time. This is clearly nonbeneficial. We all (pts and relatives included) need to get better at deciding when *not* to operate. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Shhh, listen Can you hear that? It’s me screaming into the void after only 4 hours on (a week of) call
Costco elite pro tip: If you use your annual rewards certificate but don't buy the full amount they will give you change in cash which you can then use to pay for your health care.
The most impressive thing about a fitness tracker isn’t how much I walk on the occasional Yosemite hikes but how little I move on the typical clinic days 🥴
When I followed up like … no? And explained actuarily gender affirming care is highly effective (and showed references) he was sort of astonished. Then he asked about Peds gender reassignment surgery (which functionally doesn’t occur) and was even more flabbergasted to find that out

You can say all you want about AI & robots taking over medicine but one antivax, anti-vit K, unpasteurized milk momma will break them in 15 seconds, esp when they see their starting peds salaries 🤷🏻♀️
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
The saddest truth? The Earth does not need humans—we are the ones who rely entirely on the Earth. If we continue to destroy our only home, there will be no other world to nourish and protect us; yet, knowing this, we continue to drain Mother Earth dry like parasites.

Everyone who thinks politics needs to stay out of the exam room doesn’t give a fuck about children or their families
How do we guide our children (particularly daughters) to choose careers that are soul-fulfilling but also provide financial independence, while emphasizing money isn’t the most important thing in the world, but food/shelter/healthcare/transportation/travel/safety/some cute shoes are kinda important?
Mitch McConnell would have replaced Mitch McConnell a month ago. Why can’t the Dems get their shit together?

A beautiful metaphor for America here at Glacier National Park: a bunch of people standing under a melting glacier that could collapse onto them at any moment despite all the signs warning them.

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????
