@Peds_Ortho
Radiologist here. I tell everyone who’ll listen to avoid chiropractors like the plague. Seen way too many strokes due to carotid or vertebral artery dissections from neck adjustment. And missed bone tumors, lung masses, kidney stones, gallstones, etc 1/2
@snakagawa_md
@liberalinTX
In his last years my dad had vascular dementia; his caregiver wanted to enforce strict dietary restrictions but I said no: let him enjoy the last pleasure available to him! A steak won’t kill him…and if it did, he’d die happy.

I’m a Stanford house staff alum (IM) & board certified radiologist. Dr Atlas’s behavior is an affront to all of medicine & a stain on your institutions. His words & actions are the very antithesis of “primum non nocere” & he should be stripped of degree, license, & affiliations.

@mmpadellan
Many who stayed had no choice—no way to leave, unable to afford it (gas, hotel, etc), or unable to manage it physically. Definitely not all due to bad decisions 😢
@MeidasTouch
So…..he wouldn’t get a free vaccine, spent money on ineffective animal meds, used up scarce hospital resources, and now there’s a go fund me asking for $? Thought these folks hated socialism 😡
@katiepalmtreee
@Peds_Ortho
Glad you haven’t had an issue with your chiropractor; my experience over 40 y in medicine is that they can and do injure lots of patients.
@danielleiat
Mom was a librarian. My school’s weekly book checkout limit was too low for me (1 book/week; I was reading 1/d at the time). She marched in there and talked to their librarian, and after that I had no limit 😁
@garnethenderson
They could have just sued for damages (costs of the IVF rounds, etc, + emotional suffering). Instead they went for wrongful death….gotta believe they knew

Please delete; pic is photoshopped. Original from 2010, bad enough but not Trump related. We lose credibility when we post lies—and the truth is bad enough; we need to stick with reality.

I saw a report saying the $ was interest paid on unspent Covid relief FL received…if true that makes it federal tax $, so ALL of us potentially have a legal beef w/ death santis

And she’s STILL wearing trump gear! I’ve got a few words for her that should sound familiar; I’ve no doubt she uttered them countless times: “F*ck your feelings” and “you lost, get over it!” ❄️🤣❄️
@kurteichenwald
I’m a doc and I have NEVER voted for any Republican in my life—and never would! I do wish more of my taxes went to helping ppl instead of war/defense, but I don’t try to get out of paying them.
@SWAtlasHoover
Take a seat. Actually, take ALL the seats. You have NO BUSINESS advising anyone on infectious dz policy, public health, or anything other than neuroradiology. And tbh I don’t trust you on that either. SHAME on you, and

Doc here. Placenta previa is a very serious thing. He could have KILLED both her and the baby. Hope she is getting the help she needs—including getting away from this awful man 😬

I wish dems would push back on the “migrants are the ones bringing in drugs” lie: the vast majority are brought in AT LEGAL POINTS OF ENTRY—by US CITIZENS
@DrGJackBrown
Sales reps are taught to do that bc their bosses think it personalizes the interaction & “connects” with the customer. In truth, it does exactly the opposite bc it’s fake, forced, & super cringe 😬
@JoyAnnReid
Unless it’s someone who I know has a legitimate medical reason for not getting vaccinated, hell no. I’m an MD and don’t play that antivax BS.
@ChappellTracker
Met her when I was a med student (started an IV on her! Asked her if she wouldn’t prefer someone more senior & she emphatically said no 😅); she was sweet 💜
@Woman4W
AND: blames his criminal behavior ON HER bc she refused to ‘go swinging’ with him 😡
Castration. Then r*pe with a cactus soaked in ghost pepper juice.
@TheRickWilson
MD in CA. Total BS, monoclonals are not indicated in his situation. VIPs often get shit care bc they insist on stuff they don’t need/won’t help and the care team caves. Seen it a lot.
@alwaystheself
1. The ocean is VERY noisy
2. They needed to confirm what it was
3. Inappropriate to abandon SAR efforts till confirmed
4. OceanGate also apparently knew right away but didn’t alert USCG for 8h
5. WHY ON EARTH would anyone think this was intentional deception? 🤦♀️
@mom_cadet
@Angry_Staffer
@Stealthgirl21
Yup; MD here….I suspect either he’s on blood thinners (for any of a bunch of serious issues) or he could have a blood disorder (leukemia, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, etc). All bad.
@ask_aubry
Actually: the blonde’s husband is heir to the Jet Blue fortune…& both the Black woman & her husband are models. Both families are wealthy. Also: both are Mormon, an aspect of this performative propaganda campaign that isn’t talked about enough.
@ModelAyshaMirza
@kevinnbass
This man is a clear and present danger and must not be allowed to pursue, much less receive, an MD. His PhD should be revoked, or he’ll keep using it to spread disinformation—harming people (and
@ttuhscmed
reputation). Not worthy of joining my profession.

@GovRonDeSantis
She’s a public health expert who worked for the state of Florida and was fired by the governor when she refused to falsify the state’s Covid data. Since then she’s been publishing the true data, while the state puts out false information

Elite level Alaska flyer; got a trip booked next month and I WILL be wearing a mask. Expect a lawsuit if any shaming, bullying, or other harassment occurs. Pandemics don’t end just bc an unqualified judge says so 😡
@tiff4mahogany
So…he’s ok with
-reinstated Muslim ban
-deportation of pro Palestinian protesters
-revocation of citizenship for immigrants involved in pro Palestinian protests
-trump helping Bibi flatten Gaza & the West Bank
-Christianity being declared the only allowed religion
@donwinslow
MD in full support, should this become necessary. The reason is not their unvaccinated status per se; rather , it’s bc they have less chance of survival than vaxxed pt. Triage 101: allocate scarce resources to those most likely to survive. Also: actions/choices have consequences.
@Letz_Think
@cmclymer
The people protesting Target are NOT the majority. Most people are content to live & let live, understanding that bathing suits don’t threaten anyone.
@AshleyGWinter
Radiologist here. For the non medical folks: ‘small’ compared to, say, the liver, spleen, kidneys, etc…thus needing different settings for the scan (and different transducer) to get good images. FWIW testes are also considered ‘small parts’ 😆
@RadioFreeTom
Doc with my $0.02: use of patient satisfaction scores as part of a doctor’s compensation is part of this problem. Patients are aware of how scores can be used, & this contributes to an attitude of “you’re just another service provider” to be rated like an Uber driver etc.
@shinkleelana
@PeteButtigieg
Right? Pete would have been a great choice for UN too. Eagerly waiting to see where he lands in the new administration....hope it’s somewhere prominent and worthy of his talents!
@KeneAkers
I got SO much 💩from ppl in 2016 for saying the election was about SCOTUS and how things would go based on who won. A lot of us did. Zero pleasure in saying “I told you so”….we got work to do 😬
@franzpoppz
@emily_fri
Radiologist here....we’ve seen Covid lung changes in several patients having CT for other reasons. They hadn’t been tested yet bc they had no Covid symptoms.
@BeyNaveed
@EM_RESUS
Technically, not ‘lung cancer’ but ‘testicular cancer metastatic to the lungs’
This imprecise wording is what leads pts to say they have (eg) “lung cancer, brain cancer, & breast cancer” (3 primaries!) when it’s really br ca with mets ☺️
@skepticalbrotha
@CraigBurdette
Errr sounded to me like he was agreeing with you, saying Biden has signs of normal aging and is still sharp (“has his wits about him”…..ie, not dementia)
I agree too, definitely not dementia. Seen it professionally and in social circles.
Hate to clog up your feed
@ZelenskyyUa
but wanted Ukraine to know we love and support you. My latest artwork (“flowers will grow”) is for you and your people. Wounded but still flying, sunflowers still rising toward the sun 🇺🇦💜💪🏻
@EinherjarDO
@nursekelsey
During internship when I wasn’t sure what to do for a CCU pt on an experimental anti-VT drip, I’d always ask the nurses ‘what do you usually do for x?’ And they were always helpful, kind, and appreciative. They saved my ass many times and I’m thankful.
@ToddEberly
For me:
1. Quality
2. Affordability
3. No Greeks: culture they create on campuses is toxic, especially for women
If looking today I would add:
4. Safely blue state with solid women’s rights protections
@DogginTrump
@minnesotadogmom
I’m thinking you didn’t watch it? She’s actually supporting Biden’s handling of the situation and debunking the lie that ppl will only ever get $750
@1goodtern
Radiologist here…he probably had a prostate MRI preop; could be that showed abnormal lymph nodes, bone marrow, bladder, etc? But it’s more likely a bladder tumor was seen during the surgical procedure.
@afrosabi
Kerrygold is awesome, definitely! But there’s a whole lot more amazing types of butter out there if you’re curious now…so much better than the regular American style 😁
@0liviajulianna
Olivia…I love you & your work, enthusiasm, & energy. BUT: please don’t think for a minute that your generation is the only one fighting, or tired. And please don’t 💩on those whose shoulders (decades of work) you’re standing on. We are ALL tired. It ain’t over & we must keep on.
@SarahTaber_bww
It should be noted that eggs can be on produce if contaminated by an infected farm worker (not all have access to good handwashing in the field, so there is potential for—and documented cases of—fecal oral transmission from produce)
@LakotaMan1
I’m an MD in California and have been following the vax development very closely. I believe it’s safe and will 💯 take it the second it’s offered to me. Given the high mortality of Covid in native people, I sincerely hope you’ll consider getting it 🙏🏻
@MccreaPadgett
Our group just booted a junior surgeon, largely due to behavioral issues around treatment of nurses and other team members. Feedback and reporting is critical to alert higher ups so action can be taken, when needed 💜
@JPBelinkieMD
Been there so many times! I start out assuming they’re not a pretentious, insecure twit and go with my first name. If they come back with Dr (their name), then it is ON.
@AjvictoryMD
My dad, a PhD in EE, would call colleagues and ask for Dr (their surname), saying Bob (his surname) was calling… even if they were less senior or less well known than he was. Respect.

There may well be cultures that do it but the whole concept of intact hymen = virgin is medically incorrect. And the process of ‘checking’ is a violation and assault, period.

do a series of stories about Project 2025: many potential negative economic impacts, on large and small scale
@dremilyportermd
I’m a radiologist and finding things like this (called “incidental” bc they’re not related to the reason a study was done) is always a great feeling, bc it means a life saved. Glad yours was found!
@Angry_Staffer
My dad had TS for decades (several alphabet agencies). Home office had a document safe; we had phone # to call to come open it & retrieve contents if he died. No one even allowed in room if safe was unlocked, let alone documents potentially visible.
@lorraine_luv1
High school (not my card deck but I had many…pro tip was to mark the tops with a diagonal slash using thick marker, so when the deck got spilled it was easier to get the cards back in the right order) 😎
@Peds_Ortho
Even seemingly small things like: our clinic took away physian-only parking, yet kept the admin-only parking. We weren’t allowed to use “patient spots” so end up struggling to find a spot &/or walking sig distances…1/2
@duty2warn
That’s great and all but he needs to retire before January 2023 while we still control the senate and can get a replacement confirmed. If we lose the senate you know McConnell will prevent that.
Enough with predicting doom for democrats this fall,
@NPR
! Plenty of us understand there’s way more than gas prices on the ballot and are going to vote accordingly. Also- Biden is doing a great job! Knock it off 😡
@AjvictoryMD
That made a big impression on me so I try to do the same. But I WILL push back with Dr (my surname) if I get any attitude or condescension….which I’ve gotten from a few female docs but maybe 90% from male docs 😬
@OhNoSheTwitnt
Coworker is a monster 😬
I’m so sorry for your impending loss…hardest thing ever. Been there several times and it never gets easier. My 20.5 yo old man is fading quickly too, may be a few days or weeks now so this is very real for me rn. Wishing you peace and comfort 💜
