🤔Why does carcinoid syndrome affect the right heart valves more often than the left heart valves?

The difference is striking.

Let's have a look.

I meditated 15 hours a day for 6 months straight with one of the toughest Buddhist monks on the planet.

Here's what I learned:

From a colleague in Hamilton, memo sent out at @McMasterU. I was requested to amplify as they cannot.

"As you are all aware, McMaster Children’s Hospital (MCH) continues to face unprecedented pressures across all its programs. Inpatient occupancy is nearing 135 per cent...

THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A “BETA-LACTAM ALLERGY” OR A “CEPHALOSPORIN ALLERGY.” CROSS-ALLERGIC REACTIONS ARE LIMITED TO DRUGS WITH EXTREMELY SIMILAR R-SIDE CHAINS. SO YOU CAN ALMOST ALWAYS FIND A SAFE BETA-LACTAM. IF YOU JUST HAVE A WEE BIT OF COURAGE, THAT IS.

In the past few days, I have shown some nice still images of the Coyotes. I went to the camera this morning to get the videos off the card which is the only way to get them. I will be showing a few, but this is a great one. #Coyotes #nature #trailcam

Devastating news from @lake88fm this morning that the Perth emergency department is to be closed throughout the summer months from next week until early September.

And a final note: All abortions are needed abortions. You shouldn’t have to be sick or dying or prove you have a “good reason.” Not wanting to be pregnant is all the reason you need. #AbortionIsHealthcare #AbortionIsEssential

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Across the country, states have already passed bills restricting choice. If you're looking for ways to respond, @PPFA, @USOWomen, and many other groups have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years—and will continue to be on the front lines of this fight.

[Jennifer Gunter @DrJenGunter]

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.

The cost to be a decent person is $0.00.

A fan catches a ball at the Angels game and gives the ball to a kid.

Same kid catches the ball and returns the favor.

Gay, bisexual & other men who have sex with men in Florida — or who are planning travel to Florida — should get vaccinated against meningitis, @CDCgov says as it helps the state fight one of the worse outbreaks of meningococcal disease in that community in US history.

NEW: A South Florida synagogue has sued over Florida's 15-week abortion ban, contending the measure violates religious-freedom rights. “In Jewish law, abortion is required if necessary to protect the health, mental or physical well-being of the woman."

A study of the hepatitis cases seen in Israel reveals they were likely a delayed consequence of COVID-19.

The average delay was 74 days (range 21-130). This is almost certainly why we’ve mostly seen negative COVID-19 PCR tests in affected kids.

No adenovirus found in liver.🧵
