A flexible nasoendoscopy is a routine procedure I perform on many patients daily as part of a complete ENT examination. If you’re interested in seeing my nasal turbinates, nasopharynx and larynx, catch this 2 minute video of me doing it to myself.

Has COVID-19 forced you to wear glasses and a mask at the same time?

If so, you may be entitled to condensation.

I get it: you're on lockdown. You're trying to do a lot with a little. It's hard to find joy in the midst of fear, depression, and austerity.

That's why it's time to learn about totwaffles. (thread)

Recently met a financial advisor at a holiday party. He was bragging that he could meet a new customer and an hour later-he was trusted with their life savings.

I explained to him occasionally at work, I meet someone and a few minutes later I have my finger up their rectum.

I’m not against home births because I’m pro medicine I’m against them because tonight I’m breathing for (trach) blinking for (artificial tears) swallowing for (suction) moving for (turning) pooping for (glycerin) a 6 month old whose mother was told it was ok to labor for 40 hours
