I see a lot of med students suspended from clinical rotations & a lot of healthcare workers with kids at home. Please reach out to us with your childcare needs - we want to be helpful in any way that we can. #COVID2019 #MedEd

Thank you @diaz_eddie for proving that a once a week pub run is equally as effective as marathoning. I envy the continued dedication to an (E)vidence based and (D)ata driven life style.

I wonder how much of this is “Medicine sucks” vs “These docs have never had another 6 figure job, most of which also suck in their own way.”

Me to 5y old patient: I think we need to get a special picture of your arm so we can see your bones

5y old: we could just get an X-Ray

Remember how I complained about @usaa charging me 2.5X for my homeowners+renters policy than they were charging for just a homeowners policy covering the same house and stuff after I moved out for a renovation? Well the CEO’s office got back with me weeks later to explain....
