medicine is basically just giving people fluid and getting fluid out of them, and then taking pictures with expensive machines to see if the fluid is there or not

You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.

You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting. 🧠

Be honest with yourself... You’ve worn things that are a lot worse than wearing a mask..

I carefully studied this every detail of this image from the most recent cover of @NewYorker this morning. Zoomed in and ran my finger over each face, each loss, each moment in time. Then I cried and cried.

Damn. We been through a lot in this country, man.

That’s all.

The conversation between my sons was so mundane. First they talked about Tiktok. Then about our upcoming vacation. It sounded so easy.

I was glad.

Son 1: “Hey mom? Is it okay if we rent bikes down there?”
Me: *typing* “Sure.”
Son 2: “Yes sirrrr!”

*high fives brother*

After taking care of several COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilation, I would like to say that my personal experience is of little use to others and you all should rely on evidence-based medicine. Thanks.

I keep thinking about all the times I grabbed a disposable glove from the box and like 3 gloves would come out and I would just throw away the other 2 gloves like some kind of disposable glove billionaire

Question for nephrologists that add “avoid unnecessary nephrotoxins” to their AKI notes, do you also tell consultant not to jam that pen in their eye and not to mix bleach and ammonia cleaner?

My shower drain has progressed from grade 1 to grade 2 diastolic dysfunction and let me tell you this has been clinically important.
