@TurkishAirlines @TK_HelpDesk is the worst. What a nightmare of an experience. Vacation ruined with zero customer service and no regard for their customers’ needs. #neveragain

@LVHN The word choices and tone of this tweet are enough to confirm everything in Dr. Ray’s blog post. “…saddened that a member… has alleged..” wow! This statement does not “condemn” racism. FYI. Try again.

@HarkerDavid People still have their first aid from 2004?!? How? Mine fell apart with just routine use before medical school was over.

Events of the weekend reminded me of some findings that you only learn through (unpleasant) experience. Anything you'd add?

I had the pleasure of talking with the @PittCardiology fellows about social determinants of health today.

Take home point: "negative x 3" is *not* a social history when doing a H&P. Getting to know your patient's social hx will pay off in the long run.

@realDonaldTrump The campaign is over. Biden won. Do your part to put him in the best position to help the American people. Accept the result of the election and begin transition if you really care.

@elonmusk I ❤️ Tesla btw

[Misan Pessu, MD, FACP @dr_orcape]

@elonmusk The antigen test is not as sensitive as PCR. You are more likely to get a false negative with those. Nothing is perfect, not even the Tesla.
