@balwindEr_24 Imagine getting this triggered over someone's personal beliefs and faith. She didn't insult anyone yet you felt the need to put her down. Speaks more about your insecurity :)

📰 Update: Despite promoting their plant-forward menu to combat climate change, this year’s Olympic Games is serving foie gras (a product made by force-feeding ducks and geese) to VIP guests.

While the Paris Olympics’ decision to create a menu that is 60 percent vegan and vegetarian is a great step in the right direction, foie gras (French for “fatty liver”) is torture for ducks and geese. On foie gras farms, the birds have metal tubes shoved into their throats and are force-fed several times a day until their livers become diseased and swell up to ten times their normal size.

Take a stand for animals by leaving foie gras off your plate and choosing more plant-based foods.

Left my phone in a cart at @TopsMarkets, went home and realized I had left it. Freaked out, it also has so many photos of my newborn. Went back after a while, and it was picked up and saved by a Tops employee. Literally made my day. Thank you so much 😭it meant so much to me!

@INCKerala Don't use our religion to make your shitty ass political points. Learn to respect everyone's faith.

Day 1 morning post residency:
I've picked up a new novel and a hobby
Trimmed and watered my plants
Cleaned the kitchen
Played with my baby
Baked almond cookies
And still have so much energy.

Sometimes we forget how consuming life in medicine can be. I needed this. So grateful♥️

Devanagari is an extremely elegant script. But this was never explained to us in school.

A thread on the awesomeness that is devanagari.

Let's start with the things that my teachers did *not* teach me in school:

@Swamy39 By that logic , Congress should dissolve with embarrassment. Has not gotten even 100 seats on it own since 2014.

@welcomestalkrs This is satire right? I couldn't even get through it because of the bad grammar. Such a loser 😂 trying to make a point but doesn't have his "you're/your" figured out lmao

@baavri @airindia I have seen the @airindia crew sleep on business class seats themselves after moving all passengers to one corner. Especially on flights to the U.S. this is totally unacceptable!

[Ashima Dogra MD, MPH @AshimaDogra3]

@PicturesFoIder A person with a high EQ would never brag like that. That was so cringe.

[Ashima Dogra MD, MPH @AshimaDogra3]

@CollinRugg You don't leave your baby to die of starvation. Give them away if you can't take care of them. The sheer horror that child went through. The escalating fear, hunger, cries of desperation. She couldn't have even processed her situation. This one deserves life without any parole!

In 1922, a team of scientists visited Toronto General Hospital, where wards housed numerous diabetic children.

Many of these children were in a comatose state and on the brink of death due to diabetic ketoacidosis.

As a result of the amount of deaths, scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.

As they commenced injecting the final comatose child, the first one to receive the injection started to regain consciousness.

Subsequently, one by one, all the children emerged from their diabetic comas.

During the early 1920s, Frederick Banting, Charles Best and John Macleod discovered insulin.

Both Banting and Macleod were awarded Nobel Prizes in 1923.

James Collip played a crucial role in refining insulin, which was instrumental in enabling its effective application in diabetes treatment.

Banting declined to have his name included on the patent and opted to sell it to the University of Toronto for a mere $1.

He believed it unethical to seek profit from a discovery destined to save countless lives.

“Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.

In 2019, the average cost was $58 per insulin fill, typically for a 30-day supply.

Why isn't anyone talking about how more than HALF A DOZEN Indian students have been killed in the U.S. in the last 1 month!? Imagine if the situation was reversed. BBC and NYT would already be calling riots against Modi and Indians.

@gracecamille_ So many of them keep having babies to keep their channel interesting. It's a problem that needs to be addressed.
