Say what you will about neurotic high achievers - not only do we #GSD, but the stress we generate in doing it produces more GW of clean, renewable energy than solar, wind, and geothermal combined.

This is an important reminder that what might be a minor nuisance to you can literally be life-threatening to those with chronic conditions. Glad you’re on the mend @gratefull080504 #healthequity #kidneyhealth

Just about to be discharged from BJC Hospital after 3 days. I am making this post about the dangers of food poisoning to kidney transplant recipients. My food poisoning was not only a threat to my kidney but to my life due to my significant blood loss. It was incredibly…
