anyone else notice Mitch McConnell’s left-sided facial droop, and his left arm snug in his pocket? And with the aphasia…

@MacFarlaneNews Statistically, he’s not even alive right now. Less than 10% chance he’s alive, let alone extubated and off all life-sustaining equipment. He wasn’t even coherent before. We the people have the right to know.

@TheBigFunk @unusual_whales Just highlight the fact that even if something is “American made” there is a domino-effect of production that is subject to tariffs.

[Nurse Squid @KidTheSquid_]

@TheBigFunk @unusual_whales Let’s think about the equipment the cans are made with, are those all American made, each part? What about transport? Transport costs can rise for fixing trucks that have parts from all over the world. The US does not have enough manufacturing anymore to supply every tiny part

@Kehpow This is why I’ll never understand nurses/healthcare professionals that vote against all populations in the waiting rooms

The way I called the end of episode 9 of “The Pitt” halfway through the episode. I turned to my boyfriend and said “he’s going to hit her. The anger, body language—everything. Wild how the writers/directors/actors managed to capture how people like that truly act. #ThePitt

@PaltanKaParivar @agraybee Are they even reading the same books with political themes of overcoming oppressors? Like bsffr

@bemooremd @NussbaumMD If it’s something dangerous u can come give it, bc I will not give the wrong med, dose, or treatment on my license for your pride. Swiss cheese effect my friend. Phrases like yours make nurses not want to question orders worth questioning— leading to patient harm.

You got racist old white folk that’ll call Black providers in healthcare/social services slurs, & they still expected to be given care. While Black patients are villainized for behavior that ISN’T abusive.

And you expect me to believe there ain’t a discrepancy in the system???

this baby might not make it out of the hospital

Still true

@22gthumb The best tweet I’ve seen today 😅

[Nurse Squid @KidTheSquid_]

@Dhs64dhs Yeah I’m not a fan of him—for his own sake (and everyone else’s) he needs to step down

[Nurse Squid @KidTheSquid_]

@bennyjohnson 3/ underlying issues here. If someone is struggling this much with their health, it is time to step down. I’m no McConnell fan, but for his sake (and everyone else’s), he needs to be removed.

[Nurse Squid @KidTheSquid_]

@bennyjohnson 1/ Notice the left droop on his face/mouth, and how his left arm is in his pocket. That with the aphasia scores him on the NIH stroke scale. He should’ve been removed immediately and taken to a hospital. Most likely a TIA, but if it wasn’t and he had a clot causing a stroke it,
