@OneArmWonder @CraigC52284506 @EBMgoneWILD @accuweather Justin uses too many words. If it bites you and you die, it's venomous. If YOU bite IT and you die, it's poisonous. Snakes are venomous, mushrooms in beef Wellingtons in Victoria are poisonous.

@CraigC52284506 @EBMgoneWILD @accuweather General rule of advice on social media - before you reply to anyone, anywhere, ever . . . Maybe Google them . . . Just some friendly advice

@UMichMedSchool , do better

@UMichMedSchool @AAMCtoday @glick_h This is sweet but not true. Dr. Karen Dyer, her mother, and her daughter are all physicians in the US and are alive.

Today in identifying things in Australia that will kill you

[LeVar Burton @levarburton]

I have not seen the video. Those who love me most have urged me not to. One of the truths playing Kunta Kinte taught me is that the dehumanization of Black people was necessary to the success of our enslavement.

[LeVar Burton @levarburton]

To all of the verified Twitter Blue vigilantes who feel duty bound to educate me about:
a) Africans enslaving other Africans.
b) Black on Black crime in America, or
c) How my privilege makes me somehow less Black.

Please f*ck all the way off!

@RyanMarino It's only a fentanyl overdose if it comes from the ingestion region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling anxiety

A very well written explanation of the Florida police officer who did not suffer a fentanyl overdose.

@cliffreid Bloody rude to watch a lady shower without her consent, ya little creep. You are no longer welcome at this establishment.

@Cardiac_Cutie It's like how non-medical people can't wear masks because they can't breathe but everyone who works in an OR is somehow magically fine.

@fuzzymittens Just the thought of all that stickiness in my house makes me seize a little.

What if it's just a plot to trick the science-haters into buying electric vehicles?

@reign_gaga @AmboFOAM @lilylucent @ashleigh_finn @expensivecare @andrewjtagg @GoodishIntent @Jopo_dr I'm used to the US (peds) and my favorite dosing guides cap the adult dose at 40mg. In kids, I don't usually go higher than 20mg in my outpatient setting. It does seem odd that your protocol allows a higher dose for kids than adults. Maybe treating different problems?

Since many people are seeing this…I’ll add this for my medical friends:

Early in COVID Children’s hospitals made huge changes to care for adults in order to assist with the incredible surge. We need the same creativity, flexibility and bravery from our adult hospitals now.
