I’m finally at the age where I understand why my parents never wanted to stop anywhere on the way home from work.

[Deborah Greenhouse @greenhousemd]

Today I saw flu A, flu B, Covid, Strep, seizures, cellulitis, migraines, asthma and a swallowed penny stuck in the esophagus.
I know how to recognize these, test for and treat them.
They don't scare me.
You know what scares me?
Measles scares me.
And that should scare you.

The four horseman of the ER right now:

1. Influenza A-so much of it
2. COVID
3. RSV
4. Pneumonia

Mask, sanitize, wash hands, and get those vaccines folks!

Hi, ER Doc here.

Every time I see somebody with a nosebleed doing this wrong I feel the need to get this message out:

If your nose is bleeding, DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK. This just makes the blood drip down the back of your throat and you will then swallow and/or choke on it. Pinch the soft part of your nose and TILT YOUR HEAD FORWARD. Please tell all your friends about this.

My annual reminder that if you have heart disease, or risk factors like hypertension, DM, high cholesterol, or are over the age of 50 you should not shovel snow.

Vaccines are good.

Anti-depressants are good.

Modern medicine is good.

Fluoride in water is safe and protects teeth.

Treat the patient, not the numbers.

[Glen O'Humeral @HumeralO]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your doctor cannot identify what medications you take when described by their size and color.

[Dr. Syed Haider: @DrSyedHaider]

Large amount of concentrated lemon water dissolves kidney stones fast. Sometimes the solution is so simple it’s maddening the amount of suffering people put up with not knowing.

Bagel with cream cheese has done more for society than any therapist ever will

As if I needed another reason to HATE insurance companies

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Two newborn twins were diagnosed with a rare disease and are in need of a one-dose treatment that would save their lives: Zolgensma, a $2.1 million drug.

Their parents’ insurance cut the coverage of the drug the day after they were born

A friendly reminder on #RareDiseaseDay that if you only ever listen for the hoofbeats of horses, you will miss entire herds of zebras

While each individual condition may be rare, in aggregate the thousands of esoteric illnesses affect millions of patients!

in med school we had a lecture on hypothyroidism and suddenly there were a bunch of us that were absolutely convinced we had undiagnosed hypothyroidism when in reality we just had med school
