I did not have people arguing with me on Twitter against evidence based pap screening on my bingo card today.

Why do people get so mad when they are told it’s appropriate to wait til 21 for a pap??? Why do people want unnecessary tests??? Whyyyyyyy????

@DrJenGunter It blows my mind that people are anything but amazed and grateful that we have formula - this amazing nutrition for babies that can’t have breastmilk for whatever reason, that keeps them not just alive but healthy and let’s them thrive. It’s just so incredibly dumb.

@Dallas_Holladay @vasisht Not worth messing with but this is why we make our friends do it instead

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Ferritin reference ranges are garbage,
And sex based hemoglobin ones are too.

@AshleyGWinter Hell yeah! Giving yourself permission to not feel guilty about your body size is so so important and so so hard

@lynda1225 @AshleyGWinter I’m hardly here anymore but hi!

@jtrebach I love toxicologists! My life was 110% better every ER rotation I got to have a tox attending!

@DGlaucomflecken I’m so proud to work for a provider owned group that refuses to sell to a private entity or even local hospital group. It won’t last forever in this horrible health care climate, but they will fight tooth and nail for it.

@gretchemaben Sending all the good thoughts for your Chandler boy. This is just the worst part of loving our pets

@nathaliejacoby1 All of them are. My household is solidly adopt don’t shop

@SaraIdaKrueger1 @localav0cado What credentials do you have to claim this? Palpations are a symptom, not an EKG finding. A normal EKG doesn’t mean you can’t have a heart attack later.

@MoonPixieDC @localav0cado Not true and not how malpractice insurance works

[Dr. Cake @drcakefm]

@localav0cado What a load of garbage. I am so sick of the hoops people are forced through for a medicine that is so important for so many of us to function in the way the world demands

[Dr. Cake @drcakefm]

@blondemedSJW @DuchessSexpert It’s definitely important to not push ableist ideas into GOC conversations - disability =\= poor quality of life. Ask what is important to individuals in their lives. Be realistic about what CPR looks like and when we do it (I often use the phrase “mostly dead”).

@Anna_G_Downs Life gets SO MUCH BETTER. It takes time to learn how to be a grown up doc without someone always telling you what to do but once you settle in it’s really a cool place to be

[Dr. Cake @drcakefm]

@punished_cait Way way way better and more enjoyable
No offense to my ex work husband @DrCanuckMD
