@YondelaViti @naledimashishi PLEASE READ: Your “opinion” is very close to murder.
Per 1 sexual enounter the risk is 0.08%. Now, with 100 such encounters, the accumulative risk is 7.7%. Lastly, in acute HIV (first 6 wks) the risk 26x higher —> 2% (1 in 50 encounters)!

@tiredfeminist_ The OP is incredibly dangerous and the comments horrifically oversimplify.

@swahz7788 Fascinating case! I’m interested as to why there only seem to retrograde p-waves with alternating complexes. Any ideas?

An extensive paper trail reveals that the authorities in Johannesburg were warned repeatedly about the dangers in the derelict building where 76 people died in a fire this week. https://t.co/PWqtj2qOHp

@drbeleze @PMcardioBot @RobertHermanMD An uncommon finding usually found in younger males. Typically it has ST depression with a rapid upslope into a tall symmetric t-wave from V2 to V6, maximally seen at V3. With a strong PPV of greater than 95% of at least 70% stenosis.

@drbeleze @PMcardioBot @RobertHermanMD Looks like de winter t-waves —> anterior STEMI equivalent

You may have heard the shocking headline that 250,000 people die every year in the US due to misdiagnosis in the ER.

You may be even more shocked to know that this statistic is extrapolated from the death of...

just one man.

in a Canadian ER.

over a decade ago.

So, a patient with panic disorder told me that she is also taking treatment from an alternative system doctor. He has asked her to take few drops when anxiety increases, by chance she had that 'natural medicine'. Took a pic. 91% alcohol v/v. Dawa daaru literally

F1's calendar could expand to 24 races.

Talks with South Africa's Kyalami circuit are upcoming, while Qatar is set to return in 2023.
Monaco and France are uncertain, while China's return depends on Covid.
