@DavidJuurlink The executive is dysfunctional

@drrdemon A new cardboard box. Put holes in the sides in a few places and poke feathers, strings etc in and watch out for fast paws!

Also, something under a rug. One of my cats will lose their mind at the bump underneath the edge. Bunny kicks on the rug (not me) for the win!

Two of my favorite things: MERS-CoV pathogenesis and male disadvantage 😉

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Scientists haven’t been “frankly scared to ask the question”. There are 1000s of studies in the peer-reviewed literature showing no link between autism & the MMR vaccine.

Progress has been slow because neurodivergence is complex & multifactorial.

Jay is not being truthful.

@PeachyCure @jjfitzgeraldMD I think the only concern is if you had an estrogen receptor positive cancer, and even then, the absorption of estrogen from a topical source into the body is minimal. We're talking less than the equivalent of one premarin 0.625 mg tab per year!

[Jocelyn J. Fitzgerald MD @jjfitzgeraldMD]

A patient recently asked me what my best advice was for women as they age and the top two by far are:

Vaginal estrogen cream and weightlifting.

@DavidJuurlink Would love to attend but up in TBay, virtual option next year?

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

There are so many click-bait, fear-filled headlines about lead and other metals in tampons.
Remember, scaring women about vaginal health is highly profitable.
I evaluated the study in question, and there is no cause for alarm. 1/

@PharmacyToDose @GilbertPharmD @PCC_PharmD @Miano81 As this isn't available/approved in Canada, what other strategies do you use?

[Angela H @aheintzman]

@thequirkypastor @isobel_starling I've heard of such pics being compared to when a cat brings you a dead bird: they're proud, you're grossed out

[Angela H @aheintzman]

@thequirkypastor Also, this is generic, he could send this out to multiple women per day to increase his chances of success

[Joshua Senn @pharmerjosh28]

How does your ED help reduce discrepancies?

[Angela H @aheintzman]

"Old-fashioned" cough syrup, probably without a prescription!

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

Cough syrup produced in Baltimore in 1888.

[David Juurlink @DavidJuurlink]

“Dimenhydrinate is actually diphenhydramine combined with a theophylline derivative intended to counteract sedation. But that didn’t work so they marketed it for motion sickness instead, and now it’s a go-to for nausea despite being mostly hot garbage.”

[Angela H @aheintzman]

@PharmacistMama @JulienPrvost5 Is the hospital using paper charting still?

[Andrea Sikora @AndreaSikora]

Top ten reasons you want a critical care pharmacist. Quick read but packs a punch. Fun to see the MRC-ICU suggested as a prioritization tool as well!

@studentdrdemon I do like the loop ones with the highest decibel rating

[Angela H @aheintzman]

@studentdrdemon Nose cancelling headphones

[Angela H @aheintzman]

@DavidJuurlink In what volume?

[Angela H @aheintzman]

Consider helping to improve best possible medication histories and med reconciliation! For the geriatric folks I always like to ask what they take for pain, bowel movements and sleep in addition to the usual questions. @ISMPCanada @GeriMedRisk

[ISMP Canada @ISMPCanada]

We'd like to hear from you! We are embarking on a journey with @GeriMedRisk to improve the best possible medication history (BPMH) interview guide!
