@drfixus @benjbrewster @OGdukeneurosurg That was literally going to be my reply 😅

@MountRainierNPS was there a huge rockfall at 11:45 am today?

[Sara Drescher @SarDres]

@CoffeeStat_ I can't even imagine. That's insane.

@pamina_q @skwithycombe I think there are some issues with the title, and certainly the NPR article title, but the actual book seemed (to me, a white person, so I am likely overlooking things) very respectful. It profiles real people. I was expecting to dislike it, and in the end, I mostly liked it.

[Sara Drescher @SarDres]

@pamina_q @skwithycombe I'm curious whether you read the book? The author (and her three year old) traveled to and interview members of the groups she profiles. They were involved and treated with respect.

@babbymd I'm only an intern and I'm alread where you are at. Should I cut and run? I think I want to be a farmer.

.@POTUS – Water is life. Please shut down DAPL, which operates without a permit and threatens Tribal health and sovereignty every day #NoDAPL #BuildBackFossilFree

@peter_masiakos @POTUS They raised the minimum wage for everyone at our hospital to $20/hr. Everyone except the residents, that is.

@PeterDaszak Hi Dr. Daszak, I'm a resident physician currently training in pediatrics but very interested in disease ecology. I do also have a bit of experience in virologic research. Is there space for MDs in this field? Any advice on a career path? Thank you!

[Sara Drescher @SarDres]

@kcexec Open child care centers allow doctors and other medical professionals to keep working. If one doctor gets sick, that's one doctor out. If one teacher in a center gets sick, that may mean many doctors out. Let's prioritize childcare workers for vaccination.

@IrisDiamondRock @jmugele And you're sure it wasn't an optometrist? They can do eye exams and stuff but it's not quite as involved as ophthalmology.

[Sara Drescher @SarDres]

@Mgvillars Thanks for this. I'm lying in my call room in a cold sweat doubting my residency choice. If you are willing I'd love to hear more about how changing specialties went for you.

[Sara Drescher @SarDres]

@ZacBookman @OpenGovInc Please drop your lawsuit against your mountaineering guide. It would set an incredibly dangerous precedent of pressuring guides to continue when conditions are becoming dangerous (whether or not that is what happened here, it is the precedent I am concerned about).

Today is the #GlobalDayOfClimateAction. As a physician, I want to remind everyone that climate change is a very real threat to health, especially for people of color (in the US and globally). Please vote with climate health and climate justice in mind this year.
