I'm not supposed to have favorite meds, but I have a soft spot for Ceftriaxone, Metoprolol, PeriColace and Rivaroxaban.

My greatest achievement is not dying by my own hand.

I am so grateful to consultants who are cheerfully willing to see patients.
I feel so bad sometimes when I call them because I know they are overworked and busy.
But thank you, thank you thank you to all those of you out there who are a delight to work with.

[The Grateful Doctor @gratefulmd]

I really appreciate you asking
Thank you
"Larger sized" is another option

[The Grateful Doctor @gratefulmd]

I do not use the word "Obesity"in my charts and I delete it from patient problem lists.
I also delete "Overweight" and "Noncompliant" and any other motherfudging judgmental labels I find.

[The Grateful Doctor @gratefulmd]

I use "larger bodied" person Because everything I have read from fat activists suggests that if you cannot ask the person what they prefer to be called it is safer to say larger or bigger bodied.
Fat activists prefer to be called fat.

[The Grateful Doctor @gratefulmd]

I have been studying body size stigma for over 40 years.

Stigmatizing or shaming somebody for being larger bodied or fat is as malevolent as racism.

Some even say it is the same as racism.

[The Grateful Doctor @gratefulmd]

did you know that Medicare pays hospitals more money if doctors use the term "morbidly obese" to describe people with BMI over 40?
I refuse to do this.

[The Grateful Doctor @gratefulmd]

I love Critical Care Doctors. not only do they save my ass they save everyone else's.

@amyfaithho Sit v stand. I’ve heard this so much. Key is taking a little extra time to listen. Where my body is makes little difference.
