Happy New Years to everyone with cryptorchidism. I bet you can’t wait for that ball to drop.

A very famous photograph from the early 1900s.

One boy had been vaccinated, one had not.

Both were exposed to smallpox.

Can you guess which is which is?

Tough one, I know

I’m not cool enough to be on TikTok, but my friends at the Asclepius Snakebite Foundation are. Check out this video and consider donating to this phenomenal organization dedicated to reducing snakebite morbidity and mortality worldwide.

If my co-authors are wondering why I’m not working on any of our various projects at the moment, it’s because I’d rather hang out with Swishy

There’s a “slowpokes” in my neighborhood. Turns out it’s a coffee/sandwich shop. I thought it was a brothel for old people.

When practicing medicine, it’s OK to do nothing when nothing is indicated. It’s never OK to do stupid shit.

@mianhi63 I treat mostly Agkistrodon (and Micrurus) envenomations. Rarely do I see rattlesnake bites. If it were up to me, I would stock Crofab

[Spencer Greene, MD 🐍🐈💊💉🍱 @ToxSpencer]

Newest article

In this study, we found that patients treated with Crofab had fewer adverse reactions than patients treated with Anavip. Crofab was also better at establishing initial control in copperhead envenomation.

Kittens are perfect for the soul. But absolutely horrible for the integumentary system

[Spencer Greene, MD 🐍🐈💊💉🍱 @ToxSpencer]

Newest article. We found a lower incidence of acute adverse reactions to CroFab than to Anavip. Additionally, the reactions to CroFab were limited to pruritus, whereas some of the reactions to Anavip were more serious, including anaphylaxis.

I wish levofloxacin was the “go to” drug for common sexually transmitted infections. Imagine the advertising opportunity.

“Love ‘em and Levaquin!”

(For this joke to work, you need to understand that the CORRECT pronunciation of the brand name is a long eeeeee sound.)
