bill gates is one of the strongest defendants of the IP law regime that stopped poorer countries from making their own vaccines and now he is complaining about the direct consequence of unequal vaccination distribution worldwide from the comfort of his mansion

Had an amazing time presenting at the @ExaminedLife_UI and was honored to have @LGlaucomflecken in the audience!! So cool to see all the awesome people interested in humanities & medicine

Approximately 60,000 Canadians currently live undocumented in the USA.

You don’t see the militarized presence, cops on horseback, and calls for a wall on that border.

The issue has never been about immigration. It’s about anti-Blackness and racism.

It's great to see so many young people on TikTok spreading knowledge about Line 3.

Here's a thread of some of our favorites.

Just overheard a ER doctor tell a patient “If you are concerned about C02 levels from a face mask, then our climate crises is really gonna make you lose your mind”

Diabetic patient: I don’t have access to insulin, or a fridge, or ability to watch my sugars.

Harvard med student: you should try a keto diet, I wrote a book about it. Did you know every 30 seconds a diabetic leg is amputated?!

THIS IS WHY PATIENTS HATE US.

@stillcontejas I’ve been rewatching the good place and it’s bringing me so much joy

It’s okay to change your mind about things or be curious about new ways to solve a problem.

I went to law school knowing our criminal legal system was broken and thinking being a “good” prosecutor is how I could help fix it.

Now I believe in abolition.

3 years ago I almost slipped into a coma and died. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

I paid $684 for my first 30-day supply of insulin. Some pay $1000+ a month. Many die without it.

Today I introduced legislation to cap the price of insulin at $50 a month. #txlege

For whatever it’s worth, usually a couple hundred children die of seasonal influenza in the US each year.

This year: One. Literally one child died of flu.

And we tested more than ever.

taught in medical school: hexokinase phosphorylates glucose to make glucose-6-phosphate

not taught in medical school: how to help and comfort a patient worried about how they are going to pay for their necessary MRI

[David Malebranche, MD, MPH @DMalebranche]

Did a follow up call with a patient this morning. Gave her her #HIV lab results:

- T cell count over 1000
- Viral load undetectable

No reaction. It was expected. We spoke about other referrals before concluding .

"Anything else I can help you with?" I asked.

She paused.
