Memo to self:
*Twitter won’t make you happy.
*Followers are not friends
*Likes and re-tweets are fleeting.
*Your kids need you to be present.
*The real world needs your attention.
*Tweeps won’t miss you if you check out for a while.

The physician's job is much like clergy: To comfort the afflicted...and to afflict the comfortable .

Asking Astra Zeneca or Pfizer to build a vaccine is like asking Ford to build a truck. Yes, the process is complicated; but not difficult for those who do it for a living.

One of the key jobs of the PCP is to translate what the specialist just told your patient from “doctor” back to English.

@FlyFrontier , I was given this $500 gift card 5 years ago. I am unable to use it now because?? Customer service, totally unhelpful. I feel my only recourse it to tell the world. I’m tired of being ignored. Your opportunity to make good is pretty much past.

[Omnitrician @DrPuls]

@FrontierCare So a link telling me you don’t have gift cards is NOT helpful...

[Omnitrician @DrPuls]

@kdknapp3 @DrJenGunter So the politicians in office right now speak for you too?

Student tip: don’t lose your non-medicine hobbies. They are part of what makes you unique. You will need a way to unplug without having to do medicine.
