I don't understand why if you're arguing with someone and they find out you're in medicine they're like "dO yOu tAlK tO yOuR pAtIeNtS lIkE tHiS??" No Deborah and you aren't my facking patient you're a dingus on a Facebook thread who thinks masks cause respiratory failure
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Refusing to wear a mask does not make you a free thinker. It does not make you a rebel. It does not make a political statement. It does not show your support of the constitution. It does not show you aren’t a sheep. It shows that you’re a selfish, contrarian asshole.
[US medical conference] EPIDEMIOLOGIST AT PODIUM: [takes long drag of cigarette, exhales slowly, flicks ash into empty glass of bourbon] fuck this
Seems weird for the GOP to call themselves the “party of Lincoln” while defending the flag and statues of men who literally led a war against Lincoln.
Mm hmm...I see what you're saying. So to recap, you don't think the knee in George Floyd's neck for 9 minutes is a big deal but you refuse to wear a thin cloth on your face because "I can't breathe"?
This isn't a race war. It's a battle between racists and anti-racists. Choose your side.
When we impeached this president, we warned that he was a dictator in waiting. I believe now what I believed then: this president is a threat to our democracy, our families, and to us.

Mike Pence should be handling snakes in a Revivalist tent, not the #CoronaVirus response team
Me: what brings you in today? Patient: you're the doctor, you tell me. Me: *grumble, grumble, hate that reply* Also me: IT: what's wrong with your computer? Me: I dunno, you're the computer wizard, you tell me. #truths #stupidEMR #stupidcomputers #thingsthatmakemeangry
I think some zombie movies start with some awful illness tearing through an area like your "detention camps". Of course, the zombies bite the guards, who become zombies.... so, yeah, don't vaccinate the people in your care. 🙄 P.s. Idiocracy at its finest
Of course Border Patrol isn't going to let a random group of radical political activists show up and start injecting people with drugs. washingtonexaminer.com/news/activists…
As an attending physician: 1. If my resident/student needs a day off, they get it 2. If they have a question, I answer with kindness 3. If they are having an issue, we talk about it 4. I won't perpetuate the malignant culture of medicine that I endured when I was in training
So. Damn. True.
This bumble claw crane with no prizes is a chilling metaphor
Medical school and residency/fellowship is like a 10 year long pie eating contest and then when you win you find out that the prize is unlimited pie.
GothKid: what was was it like when you were a kid? Me: we didn't have cell phones and ipads... GK: I know. You had Apple computers. Me: Not as kids. My best friend in 6th grade had a Commodore 64. GK: huh? *watches commercial* You are old. youtu.be/Q7_j_ABrkn8

Doc: so what medications do you take? Patient: Ativan for my nerves, Percocet for the back pain, Benadryl to help me sleep. Doc: do.... do you drink alcohol too? Patient: *chuckles* only on days that end in -y! *winks*

“It’s just a virus” - lazy - dismissive - patient doesn’t feel validated “Your body’s host cells have been invaded by a rapidly replicating biological agent” - intriguing - terrifying - something your patient will want to post on Facebook
Are healthcare professionals immune from mental health issues? No. But do they at least all feel they can safely talk about them without professional repercussions? Also no.
Daylight Savings... a tale of two peoples. Non-medical peeps: Oh yay! My favorite night of the year - extra sleep! Medical peeps: $%#!%!% WHY AM I ALWAYS ON CALL FOR THIS?!?!
