FRAUD ALERT - Please report this scammer to @Support and get him suspended.

@elonmusk, these disgusting scams are really ruining the @X experience for many.

Enough is enough!

Now blue checkmarks are openly committing fraud using X.
It’s too easy for them!

Historian @BeschlossDC joined me last night at @PoliticsProse to speak about my mother, Ethel. Scamper was on my lap, and I was wearing the bracelet my father gave her as an anniversary gift in 1968.

Funny how we can keep track of everyone else’s appointments but let our own slide. If you’re due for a mammogram, maybe go ahead and make that call today. We’re not getting any less busy💕

Omg. I just had quite an experience at the CVS pharmacy. An older lady, probably around my mom's age (74) she there to recieve her seasonal shots. As I was standing in the checkout line I heard the pharmacist say this one is your pneumococcal shot, this one is your influenza shot, and this one is your covid shot. After the pharmacist injected the 3rd shot she began having tremors (not seizures) and fell out of her seat, smacked her head on the floor. I get out of line and down on the floor while they were calling EMS. HOLY SHIT. She wasn't breathing, but had a strong pulse around 86. I've always made it a habit to carry a pocket face mask with me, I asked a guy in line to get on the floor and directed him how to hold c spine correctly. I gave rescue breaths until the Paramedics arrived (I know the whole crew) as they are putting the bvm together, I'm still giving rescue breaths. They have her hooked up to the cardiac monitor. Heart rate and 12 lead are unremarkable, , they opted to intubate her before transfering her to the gurney, while another medic started an IV. They left CVS 10-18 (emergency traffic) I just recieved a call that this 6 echo call (not breathing) turned into a 9 echo (full cardiac arrest) I'm praying they get her back🙏🏻

I’m a doctor and I am convinced that if I ate the breakfast, lunch and dinner that is routinely given to hospitalized patients— I would be sick within one week

It's Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month. Knowing what to do can save a life. Learning CPR and using an AED can make all the difference. Educate yourself, spread awareness, and be prepared. Your knowledge could save someone's life. ❤️

Two-thirds of Americans now say they favor Medicare for All, according to a new @KFF poll. That's the highest level KFF has recorded since it started polling the idea in 2016, up from 53 percent in 2020.

This tells me two things: Americans are fed up with rising health care costs, and no one is offering up a more realistic, more effective alternative.

You can't beat something with nothing, and right now Medicare for All is close to the only something on the table. Health policy experts need to offer something else.

What are your best ideas? (Mine are coming)

@Ca5torTroy I see so many people who take care of everyone around them but somehow never make time for themselves. That's something I wish would change. Your family needs you healthy, not just working hard and paying the bills. Forty-five is far too young. This is heartbreaking

Note the people who are completely enraged about this but not willing to sign our letter to @SecKennedy and @POTUS demanding it stop.

BREAKING: A radioactive peptide that targets cancer cells and delivers radiation to destroy them has just succeeded in a Phase 3 trial.

[Lane McLendon, MD @Lane_mcLendonMD]

@superpower I believe treatment success depends not only on fighting disease but also on its burden on patients. Medical decisions must balance survival, risks, and independence.

Electrical Conduction System of the Heart. The Science Behind Every Heartbeat!
Have you ever wondered how your heart knows exactly when to beat? How do the upper and lower chambers of the heart coordinate their contractions to pump blood throughout the body?

Stop Spraying Poison on Our Food Before Harvest
America harvested crops without chemical desiccants for generations. We can do it again
But more than that, President Trump can act now:
"Proposed Federal Policy: A Presidential Executive Order to End Preharvest Chemical Desiccation
President Donald Trump should immediately sign an Executive Order under the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative directing the EPA and USDA to implement a three-year phaseout of routine preharvest chemical desiccation of food crops."

I’m not exaggerating when I talk about modern Oncology being barbaric.

“oncology notes that recommend patients be given so much chemo they reach the point of “intolerable toxicity””

Yeah, that’s REAL. And it’s wrong.

Atrioventricular (AV) block is a delay or complete interruption in the electrical signals traveling from the heart’s upper chambers (atria) to its lower chambers (ventricles).
