The AI chat Bot responses aren’t helping your cause @FedEx

@FedEx - worst delivery service. The driver routinely delivers to the wrong address, or if I need to sign for something they claim I’m not home even though I am always there (work from home, and no hang tag left). Was expecting something today…now won’t get until next week! 🤬

@EWRairport so you just decide to close TSA precheck? When there are ton of flight delays already from bad weather yesterday and more tomorrow? Just got delayed 6 hours internationally and have to go back through your huge security line and may not even make my connection 😫

Gone to threads ✌🏻

[Bloomberg @business]

Nurse practitioners — the fastest-growing profession in the US — are increasingly treating patients independently of doctors. When they’re poorly trained, the results can be tragic https://t.co/58OzDoJHjl

How has Trump NOT contacted this family? Or visit the two people in the hospital?
And he went golfing instead??

[chris evans @notcapnamerica]

“Joe Biden tried to call her, but she declined to speak to him.

The family has not heard from Trump.”

People realize this is part of the problem with open carry right? (And PA is an open carry state) You can waltz around anywhere with a gun - even just outside the security perimeter where a president or candidate is speaking - and no one can do anything about it.

@Eric_Conn Why is it always the people who so proudly proclaim how “Christian” they are that seem to be unable to emulate anything Jesus supposedly taught? 🙄 I’m sure Jesus would be SO proud of this attitude Eric. Real “hard man” shit for sure.

So are we are all headed to Threads for #FOAMed now?

The frivolous & disingenuous label of @NPR as “state media” means I will bail on @Twitter (just have to figure out where best to find do folks content) Not that it really matters to him, but @elonmusk shouldn’t be supported in his efforts to distort & ultimately destroy democracy

Ever sneeze while brushing your teeth? Now a top entry on my “things I hadn’t considered but now know I want to never happen to me again” list. Which, in all fairness, ain’t that long a list

[Sarah Flaherty, MD, FACEP (she/her) @skflaherty]

@Santos4Congress @PeteButtigieg You are an embarrassment Mr Santos

@ProjectLincoln I’m going with 18. The legal age of adulthood. It’ll be symbolic for the children at play in the house 🤦🏻‍♀️

@ColoradoDOT why on earth do you not have the express lane open on I70 west out of Denver — weekend, holiday, bumper to bumper traffic? You are throwing money away! (Which you could use for more plowing ;) )

Had to put a covid patient on a vent for the first time in a while. The patient was unvaccinated with some other risk factors but I still was a bit surprised….and saddened that we might be back to that as #winteriscoming #EmergencyMedicine

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I will never understand the animosity over COVID booster shots and vaccines in general. Vaccines may have alleviated more human suffering than any other invention. So to all those denigrating science and medicine please get a life. And I mean that literally.

Happy #PAweek to all of my esteemed colleagues! Working with y’all is a pleasure!

Emotional support animals should be a required thing in the ED, at all times, particularly labradors and then baby kangaroos in tote bags. 🦘❤️ Helps the #burnout immensely! #EmergencyMedicine
