Shadowed a dermatologist/derm PA today. When a pt complained about their drug costs the doc lamented that insurance cos. turn his scripts into "suggestions" by gouging prices and making pts. jump through hoop after hoop. #medtwitter #healthcarereformnow

“The US President got owned by Nickelback” isn’t a phrase I ever expected to utter, but here we are.

Which has a higher turnover rate: The Trump Administration or a Shonda Rhimes show?

Were he alive, Emmett Till would have just celebrated his 78th birthday. His age is frozen in death, but if he had survived, he would younger than most of my generation’s grandparents. The deeply racist history of our nation is not as removed from the present as we often think.

@MissMariaRose “De-accentuate the curves” wtf

If you complain about people asking you not to use certain offensive words/slurs because “it takes the fun out of things” then you need to find a new hobby stat.

“Let’s say that your doctor has given you a cancer diagnosis. Let’s revisit animal wisdom. If a squirrel was looking over a tasty morsel of ginger on one side, or a vial full of Mehotrexate, Danorubicin or Tioguanine on the other, what would that intelligent squirrel choose?”

@ChelseaCirruzzo Clindamycin if you can snag a prescription! It’s a topical antibiotic, good for whiteheads/itchy/cystic acne. Definitely less irritating than benzoyl peroxide!

I am chilled to the bone by the idea that any Jewish person of conscience could applaud Trump saying “Our country’s full, you can’t come in,” much less cheering raucously. Not long ago, it was we who were turned away from these shores by such prejudiced sentiments. For shame.

@DrChrisNorthrup Is anyone else disturbed by the flippant Holocaust analogies in the article?

3yo: I want some chippies!
Me: No, chips are bad for you.
3yo, throws open fridge: GIVE ME CHIPPIES OR I WILL EAT THESE WHOLE GRAPES!
Me, diving over the counter to stop him: YOU WIN! YOU WIN!

Nobody needs an AR-15 to hunt.

Nobody needs a semi-automatic rifle to defend their home.

But mass shooters NEED these weapons in order to murder as many people as efficiently as possible.

And so nobody will miss them when they are illegal - except for the killers.

Purim, according to science majors
