@rob_bristow_CA@CampHopeOwner@AntiquarianMuse The political stance is implied based on the caption + context of the posting account. You don’t have to type “this is political” for people to understand nuance. I’m on your side politically and hate this argument. Stop making us look like assholes.
@AntiquarianMuse I still can’t imagine walking into a hospital room to see my father for the last time and thinking “I better post a picture to prove my point”.
I’m sorry for your loss, I hope you find peace and perspective.
@AntiquarianMuse I find it surreal that I need to ask my children not to post photos of my failing body as an “I told you so” to the general public. I’m all for fighting misinformation, I actually get paid to do it. I see from an objective view the harm it does. /1
Amazing time seeing @WhismanSucks and @Jimmypisfunny at the Auditorium Theatre last night! @MurderSmall live was even better than we hoped, can’t wait to go again.
"One more thing," the patient says, right when I'm about to exit the exam room.
I used to be annoyed by it. Until one day, a patient's "one more thing" was actually "the" thing she wanted to say. But she needed to feel me out and make sure I was a safe person first. So, I sat back down and listened. Then we discussed and ran tests.
"You restored my faith in doctors." She took the bus just to tell me this today after making a full recovery. Her visit filled my heart with warmth and purpose.
If we ask people to wait for months for their appointments, then (sometimes) hours in our offices, we can hear them out for their one more thing.
@PatrickKeschl@ninaturner Social work consult, provide transport to a shelter, check with half way houses and crisis centers? Ensuring the patient has a safe place to go post discharge should be common place. We do it after giving narcotics (must have a driver), for victims of DV, the homeless, everyone.
The U.S. birthrate is down sharply from 15 years ago, causing economists to worry about the long-term implications of a shrinking population. Why are American women having fewer children than they say they want? https://t.co/e0SWGqwGMg
@keybrackson @uche_blackstock This is why it takes a certain type of person to work in healthcare. Whether you like him or not, that’s someone’s father.
@ravenscimaven@sarahhollowell This dude is a British immigrant living in Spain, LIVING IN THAT COUNTRY, and posted this yesterday. I’m just.. 😮💨 the nerve.
