One hard thing about being a parent is teaching life skills that you don’t have yourself.
Yes kids, good sleep & a balanced diet are important parts of being healthy.
And no that wasn’t me you saw eating candy for breakfast after staying up half the night to catch up on life.
Dear America,
Happy Thanksgiving. Some pro-tips from the ER:
1. Do not drop a frozen turkey into a deep fryer. It is basically a bomb. Defrost…asap if you haven’t started already.
2. Don’t become carved meat. Avocados are the fingers’ nemesis…followed by mandolines. Use caution.
3. Drinking and driving: don’t ever do it, but be cognizant it may be on roads especially during holidays.
4. If you’re going to talk (ahem, argue) religion/politics/old family drama at the dinner table with your hot-headed distant cousins and crazy uncle…remove any pointy implements first.
5. If you do your once-a-year visit of Nana in the nursing home at Thanksgiving, be aware…it is possible Nana may be different than she was a year ago when you last saw her. This is not usually a reason to take her out of the nursing home, bring her to the ER, and insist we find a new/better nursing home for her. Sad, but true…can’t say how often I see this one at TGiving/Xmas/NY.
Sure my fellow healthcare workers have many more…Happy 🦃🦃🦃 Day!

#DragBans are bad karma. Right now, drag performers and the LGBTQIA+ community need our help. Shop the @SixDegreesofKB campaign supporting the @ACLU Drag Defense Fund or make a gift https://t.co/Ef2Eiz8Mzg #DragIsARight
Comprehensive care within a therapeutic, trusting relationship is primary care’s “secret sauce,” but documentation and other administrative burdens increasingly interfere. Reversing the trend will require systemic change. https://t.co/G5a0BGHJft
