If a comfort care patient is not comfortable, that is medical emergency.

@taneshabeebe it has be so worth it for me. I've never exercised more in my life. it's actually fun and there is so much variety. join the cult!

[Julia Powelson @JuliaPowelsonMD]

@KyleWLeonard We all knew you would! But I’m glad you can be sure now, too! Congrats!

[Julia Powelson @JuliaPowelsonMD]

@PatrickClarke_ I never had any doubt. Congratulations!!!

[Julia Powelson @JuliaPowelsonMD]

@PatrickClarke_ it's going to go well for you! once you get the "you are fully matched" email on Monday, it's all smooth sailing.

I don’t even think people know why they’re refusing the vaccine at this point. It’s like kids fighting sleep. You know this is good for you, you just don’t wanna be told what do.

@stephaniehicks my daughter loves flamingos but it took her a long time to learn the word. for Halloween when she was two she went as a a "fa-ling-a-lo."

I bought a peloton a couple of weeks ago and I think I accidentally joined a cult. I got a personalized video message today stating “we can see you,” “we know what you are doing.” It’s almost as terrifying as Santa Claus allegedly watching children sleep.

@taneshabeebe You are so ready for this!!

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

We don't ask the parents of a second-grader to come up with the full cost of educating that child. We need to make the same kind of investment in high-quality early learning for our babies through age five that we make in them from five through graduation from high school.

To be clear, I have seen this patient twice daily for the past 4 days and introduced my self every time.

This is price of practicing medicine as a young woman.

[Julia Powelson @JuliaPowelsonMD]

Conversation with a patient today:
"Hi. I'm Dr. Powelson."
"Who are you?"
"Your doctor"
[long conversation about plan]
"I'm sorry [pause to read my badge], Julia. shouldn't you talk to a doctor before telling me what you think I should do?"

"Again, I'm your doctor."

"Really?"

@emergencypdx @long_brit @EMHighAK urea cycle disorders like ornithine transcarbamoylase deficiency

We’re just sayin’. To abolish mask -wearing laws in some States while the rest of the Nation keeps theirs is like designating a peeing section of the swimming pool.

Our subjective experience as female physicians is real. When will patients start believing that women are doctors?

[Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine]

Nearly 100% of female hospitalists report being mistaken for nonphysician HCP vs 29% of males. Join us Monday Feb 22 at 9p EST for #JHMChat to talk about this and more gender-based discrimination issues in medicine w/ @arghavan_salles! Read more 👉 https://t.co/QFQ2B1yjQX

@DGlaucomflecken I'm a hospitalist. Today a neurosurgery resident told me their attending wanted to talk to me and I was nervous like a kid going to the principal's office.

@FKeatingMD @KurteL10 My side effects kicked in about 18 hours later. they were unpleasant, but a lot better than getting COVID. I felt totally fine by the 48 hour mark.
