@ellielexx Gentle hugs, little Billie will never be forgotten. ❤️

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

This is so me when the hospitalist calls me to accept in the ICU an unfortunate 90 yo patient in multiorgan failure (NIV 100%, anuric, hypotensive) because "he is full code", "family wants everything done" and "the floor staff is uncomfortable".

If you're dating someone with anxiety I can't emphasize enough how important *re-assurances* are.

Their measure of reasonable inferences of events is not the same as yours. They're not being irrational, they are just good at convincing themselves the logic of improbable events.

Never too late to start again.

during the Great Famine, the Ottoman sultan moved by the suffering of the Irish tried to donate 10,000 (equivalent of 1 mil today). Queen Victoria personally intervened asking him not.

So Sultan Abdulmejid I secretly sent ships of food & medicine to Ireland

Today we mourn the countless freedom fighters from Ireland, India, Kenya, and other former colonies who lost their lives struggling for independence from the British government and monarchy. In their honor, we are sharing some threads summarizing the crimes of this empire 🧵

Once had an elderly patient who was ingesting the capsules he was supposed to inhale for his (understandably poorly controlled) asthma.

I can’t emphasize enough on the importance of making sure our patients actually understand what we’re telling them. I recently met a pt w/ worsening cancer burden that all this time thought she was getting better because her doctors had told her she was “progressing”.

Guess who’s back
Back again
….. tell a friend 😀

Today road trip conversation starter

[Cu Plush Dragon 🌈 @PlushDragon_]

To all those people defending that මිසර්බල් වර්ම් Andrew Tate on my timeline, these are some of the things he has actually said. Now imagine a woman YOU love and care about with a man like him. It shouldn’t matter but that’s the only way you would understand.

Keep batteries far away from your kids

[Shashini Dissanayake @sashi866]

@SNSalgado It really is. So much more meaningful than a text or even email.
A reminder of a slower and more thoughtful era I think.

[Shashini Dissanayake @sashi866]

@Amethystinia My deepest sympathies, praying for you to have strength in this time of transition. May her wish be granted 🙏🏼

[Shashini Dissanayake @sashi866]

Waited an year for an exam seat, finally got one, started studying and then!
Exam gets cancelled due to “the situation in the country”
Now all plans and timelines have to be redone.
The weight of these peoples mess-ups gets heavier everyday.

[Shashini Dissanayake @sashi866]

@BKWitharane Haven’t been having it regularly for a while now anyway. What was once a staple became a luxury so fast we didn’t even get time to mourn its passing.

[Shashini Dissanayake @sashi866]

@Mithukb @SNSalgado I think the friends we make at that age are truly timeless.

[Shashini Dissanayake @sashi866]

I used to think that everyone had friends like mine and only recently realised that’s not the case
Daily grateful for my friends who have been there for me for 25+ years ❤️

[SNS @SNSalgado]

Today was a good day!
Met my best friend after 2.5 months and another close friend from school after 8 months.
Never under estimate the power of connecting with your girl friends 💕

[Shashini Dissanayake @sashi866]

@thushponweera @AnneTibbets Agree with all above points…. But there’s something luxurious about cosying up with a gilded hardcover. 😍
