Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
Even when RFK Jr shows up dying and absolutely no one is excited to take care of him, hospitals still aren’t going to lie about being full.
My experiment to raise my ferritin in two months was not only a huge success, but massively life-changing. The current “normal” range for #ferritin is failing women and the chronically ill. We need to make changes to diagnostic testing now. #medsky #hematology #labmedicine #chronicillness #spoonie

Shematologist, MD@shematologist.medsky.social · 6d agoVoted today for @abdulelsayed.bsky.social And here is just some of my why -Medicare for all. This isn’t a pipe dream. Literally every other developed country in the world has some version of this. And it works. 1/
I hope all the people cheering on this insanity of vilifying Fauci are ready to face all of the coming pandemics alone. Who in the world would want to help next time?

I hate that we've memory-holed 2020. My spring 2020 experience was 1) seeing ambulances pulling out dying seniors from a downtown Palo Alto center 2) the GOP's claim of "brutal lockdown" was remote school for only spring/fall 2020, with masked return in Jan-and that was far stricter than most places
Shematologist, MD@shematologist.medsky.social · 6d agoBack in 2020, as a pediatric hematologist married to a physician, we signed up to volunteer in a field hospital for patients with COVID. We wrote our wills and worried about getting our kids sick. I posted about terrifying outcomes in kids and received death threats. Fauci is a goddamn hero.
A physician I know would spend their entire day in 2020 tending to people dying from COVID, then go home and have their parents tell them to their face that it was a hoax. When the doctor would try to share what they were seeing, they were dismissed and told they're just confused.

Wearing my Fauci shirt today (also wore it when I got my first Covid vaccine!) and still wondering when we are going to prosecute the people in the Epstein files.
Dear insurance companies, If you don’t cover super important medications, the patient more times than not will end up in the ER and then the hospital and I’m pretty sure those stays cost a lot more than the medication you wouldn’t pay for. Sincerely, Your biggest hater
Not me as a physician getting jealous every time a union secures a better contract for their members* (*which they absolutely deserve)

Wolfers: For nine out of the last 10 presidencies, if you’d said, “How much should we blame the president for what’s going on with the economy right now?” I would have said that the president is just one factor among many. That’s what I would have said nine out of 10 times. This is the 10th time.
My type of math question: if I eat Chantilly cake for every meal, how many days until I need to buy another?

Donate blood to local and regional blood banks so your donation stays local! Ask is you are a candidate for platelet donation! (Not plasma, PLATELETS.)
Shematologist, MD@shematologist.medsky.social · 2w agoPSA: Summer is a tough time for the blood supply as regular donors are traveling and schools (where drives occur) are out. At the same time, accidents requiring massive transfusion are more common. Only 3% of the population donates yet any of us could be in need someday. Donate if you can!
As an AML patient, I appreciate everyone who donates.

PSA: Many patients are waiting long times to see physicians, especially specialists. If you no show your appointment or cancel at the last minute, you are part of the problem. Things come up but it is oh so helpful for the whole system if you can cancel ahead of time or at the very least call.
