Took care of a homeless gentleman who sleeps in a park near my house. He asked to get discharged before 10am. I asked him why.

“Because I volunteer to walk dogs at the animal shelter and I have to be there by then.”

Heading in the wrong direction: pregnancy-related deaths in the United States. Biggest risk factor: being black. Lots of recent data about this via @priskaneely. Another good recent overview: https://t.co/Dj0pKdclgc

It’s cyber-Monday. If you’re uninsured or know someone who is, most can get covered for under $75/month, many at no premium.

In most states, you need to buy before December 15.

Advertising was cut so if you’re inclined, please help circulate.

Be #thankful and #EngageWithGrace at #Thanksgiving dinner with your friends and loved ones by talking about each of your #endoflife wishes. There is such a thing as a #gooddeath, and once those L-tryptophan & red wine toasts kick in, you can discuss #death & #lastwishes @adrane

This week my primary care doc's office sent two letters: 1st notified me that she's moving to their expensive concierge practice, 2nd asked me to donate $. Gotta love U.S. healthcare!

@rocketgirlmd Yes! MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail includes: "We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny."

Compassion and science!

Seeing this for first time. Former Royal Marine with Parkinson’s cries with joy after feeling improvement. Millions of hours of patient experimentation, by unheralded women and men in white coats, made this possible. Science is glory https://t.co/PCl6q4E6HR

Translation: devices tracking sleep prove that when high school students get to sleep in a little bit longer in the morning they get more sleep (and do better at school, and are safer drivers, and likely nicer....as proved elsewhere)
