- Think of something insane.
- Have a politician endorse it.
- Override all existing medical research.

Anyway I recommend allowing Giant African Snails to slither around your bare back, under a full moon, on Thursdays to prevent prostate cancer in women.

Lasix is NOT nephrotoxic 🫘

Please retweet so we can end this myth once and for all 🦄

Rising creatinine is more often an indicator of inadequate Lasix dosing than excessive!!

Lasix can only harm the kidneys if it decreases cardiac output by dropping preload to the point of reducing stroke volume... as someone who scans these patients regularly this is surprisingly rare!

If a patient still has venous congestion (on Doppler), then Lasix is not driving the AKI. Instead, their AKI is from untreated congestion!!

I’ve lost track of how many people like Mary I’ve seen in the ED with serious illness who wouldn’t have been as sick - or sick at all - if they’d had access to the right care earlier. Prevention, early diagnosis, investigations, timely specialist care, treatment before a crisis.

A family doc would have sent her for a colonoscopy that would have found the cancer in her colon when it was still treatable. Or it would have been caught early on the screening she didn’t know she was supposed to do.

Now she’s got mets everywhere. She’ll likely never go home.

abortion as this is the appropriate medical term.
4) if you are exsanguinating or septic due to products in your uterus, a D&C is also a surgical abortion.

[TK, DO @TK_EMDOc]

are taking misoprostol for an incomplete “miscarriage”, this is a medical abortion.
3a) btw if you had a miscarriage, the medical term for that is spontaneous abortion.
3b) if you are being treated for said incomplete “miscarriage”, what your chart actually says is incomplete

Hello from the ER. I am here to tell you that:
1) if you take methotrexate to save your life from an ectopic pregnancy, that is a medical abortion.
2) if you need a salpingectomy or salpingostomy to save your life from an ectopic pregnancy, that is a surgical abortion.
3) if you

Hot take - all doctors should be trained osteopathically. OMM has enhanced my understanding of the human body and gives physicians additional tools to treat and evaluate pain complaints

[More my speed @moremyspeed]

@ntradsteminist It’s time to end the AOA and the dual degree. DO schools can still exist in theory by offering OMM, but there is no reason for two medical degrees at this point.

#Endometriosis is so benign - that’s just a vaginal nodule ERODING into the rectum. 😰😱keep this image in mind when being gaslit about your pain @nancynursez637 #AAGL23Challenge @AAGLJMIG @AAGL

Once, a woman stopped me in the lobby. "I'm sorry, I can’t find the ICU.” I showed her where to go.

An hour later, I was called to the room—her husband was dying from cancer.

That was the day I decided to treat every person in the hospital as if it were their hardest day.

@Truthurts13 Assuming you’re in healthcare, have you ever encountered an Islamic patient or do you ever plan to? Is this generalization the kind of attitude that any reasonable person should expect from their physician?
