@dannyba92963054 @WMCActionNews5 I feel like you think that barring access to gender-affirming healthcare for trans folks will keep people from being trans. That's not how that works.

[Prozac & Perspective @prozacpeddler]

@dannyba92963054 @WMCActionNews5 Who are you to say these are unnecessary? Are you trans? And come talk to me when you need meds for your blood pressure before you start talking about how risky "chemicals" are. + Sex hormones are naturally occurring in everyone, it's the ratios that determine 2° sexual features

[Prozac & Perspective @prozacpeddler]

@dannyba92963054 @WMCActionNews5 Wrong about the evidence that access to gender-affirming care improves wellbeing so far as to reduce suicide rates in trans people? No, I'm not wrong about that.

[Prozac & Perspective @prozacpeddler]

@tcattt14XXX @WMCActionNews5 You're thinking of sex, not gender. No one has a concept of gender at birth.

[Prozac & Perspective @prozacpeddler]

@WMCActionNews5 Yes

@RJHHMD If you think it's clinically relevant, you could document it in the written section of your progress note or with the vitals. I tend to think more info is better!

One month after the Tennessee Highway Patrol pulled Bianca Clayborne and Deonte Williams over, their five young children remain in state custody.

@MemphisHoller Yay more cops, just what we need

Local hospital just made a “one blanket per patient” policy in an attempt to “save money on linen” they only want 1 blanket per patient.

Instead of making patients freeze and sacrificing patient comfort let’s cut that CEO budget a little

@ThatOtherFish1 Ask questions to investigate his psychosocial stressors and assess his level of risk. Recommend psychotherapy and consider starting antidepressants. Discuss gun safety

Just a friendly periodic reminder that what has become routine to you, may be one of the scariest times in your patient’s life.

@DuchessSexpert Indeed! I am happy with my Match, but financially, it's probably the least ideal of the possibilities I ranked. We'll have to get creative..

If your state's policy environment is such that medical students are refusing to apply to your residency programs because they cannot learn evidence based medicine there, you've got a big problem.

And your constituents are going to feel the effects.

@nat_laboss I had a friend film me opening up my envelope and I could only watch that adventure play put on my face once. Family enjoyed it, though..
