We need to bring back intellectual elitism.
Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a chat gpt AI subscription.

Your ancestors would have given anything for antibiotics, insulin and a tetanus jab.

You're being sold "ancestral wellness" by someone who'd have died at 34 of an infected tooth.

The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.

One thing I love about traveling is that it shatters the illusion that your current life is the only possible one.

I chose EM because I wanted to be the light in the house of medicine, always on and seeing anyone, anytime, for anything. The ED is a place where science, uncertainty & critical thinking come together in real time to help patients when they need it most. ⁦⁦@CAEP_Docs⁩

If you still don’t understand what people mean when they say “toxic empathy,” maybe this picture can help.

Here we have a liberal white woman marching down the streets of NYC, carrying a sign mourning the recently slain dictator Ali Khamenei, a man who supported marriage to 9-year-olds, mandated hijab under threat of arrest and flogging, oversaw the punishment of women who removed their headscarves in protest, and imprisoned female activists for decades.

In her other hand, she holds a sign that says “Globalize the intifada,” as in, “Bring these draconian laws to my own backyard.”

The regime she’s defending would imprison or kill her for standing on that street corner with that sign, especially with her head uncovered.

Don’t they make Darwin Awards for this crap?

Respect goes both ways.
We trust your specialty expertise.
Trust ours in triage, resus, and running the shop.

Our kids really need us to be present with them.

Mind and body.

One of the primary drivers of my money decisions.

If Iranians tell you they want Trump to intervene maybe listen to them rather than lecture them on your narrow domestic culture wars

Anti-intellectualism has been rebranded as patriotism.

@generalorthomd 💯 thank you

I worked in the hospital during the first Covid peak

You didn't

My experience trumps your opinion of what it was or was not like

@SHABOOTY Because only the fresh Bulgarian or French feta of high quality that you eat at a young age in a Persian household you can't find in any grocery store.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Emotional intimacy is knowing to not cheer someone up and instead say “I know this is hard. I know it’s sucks.” Then sitting in silence.

There’s something so comforting about a person who doesn’t need to fix you.

Sick visit for a 2 year old with a cough.
Dad: Shows me a photo of a bottle of cough medicine they have been giving. Points to the word "homeopathic" and asks what it means.
Me: It means "Waste of Money."

I don't distance myself from people to teach them a lesson. I distance myself because I finally learned mine.
