It was the norm that African-Americans would dress in their very best for any occasion. the assumption that being well-dressed was protective against assault or being judged as not belonging. for as much good as it did.
@BuckDancerMD
back in the 80s I dxd a young mom (same age as me) with PPH. Flolan was the only available treatment, and she was desperate to get on it, even knowing the logistics involved. 4x the insurer denied it. I tried my best but to no avail. She died. I've been mad about it ever since.
@AriBerman
We must be clear that what the Republicans are doing is packing the courts with right wing ideologues in an attempt to codify unpopular policies that they cannot implement either legislatively, or by actually winning elections with a majority. We must defeat them all.

it's far from mild. Parkinson's is typically characterized by rigidity and stiffness, not this type of choreoathetotic movements. IMO it's more likely tardive dyskinesia. Huntington's disease is also possible but that is usually hereditary so his siblings would also be affected

I don't get this. Here in Canada, the server asks how many cheques, and everyone (or each couple) pays for their own food. they bring the little machine and everyone pays up. None of this ish.

Dulcinea hasn't been doing too well lately. We went to the vet yesterday and got some bad news. Don't know how much longer she will be with us. Send some love if you can.
@PhysicianDoodle
Happened to me on a plane once. Was evaluating the passenger when a youngish, quite aggressive male came up the aisle and literally shoved me out of the way saying “I’m a paramedic!” Fortunately the flight attendant was clued in, says “we got this, SHE’S an ER doctor.”
@paulkrugman
real bipartisanship? Let's start with some of these Rs denouncing the fringe elements that have taken over their own party, McConnell relinquishing his hold on leadership, and swift action to confirm the *legitimately elected* POTUS' cabinet. we can talk impeachment after that.
@clairewheelermd
@BuckDancerMD
that is sure what it seems like from the patient's standpoint. however, the "industry" has somehow managed to shift the blame for high medical costs from the greedy insurance and pharma execs onto doctors, and it's almost impossible to change that perception.
@SussexHenryVIII
I have a funny feeling that there won't be a King William, not ever.
Charles has been silent, letting William twist in the wind for a couple weeks now. I'm guessing it'll pass to George with Anne as Regent.
But honestly, I hope Charles is the last King of England.

He has a "saddle nose" deformity which is usually the result of successive rhinoplasties or loss of the septum from cocaine, Afrin or connective tissue disease.
the constant sniffling is an indication of chronic rhinitis, probably also related.
@tomwatson
Shorter Cohn/NYT/Todd/media in general.
Even when Republicans lose, they win.
Even when Democrats win, they lose.
They're succeeding-how much of the electorate has now come to believe that Trump was really not that bad? A lot more than voted him out in 2019.

When this happened to me, I wrote to the state Attorney General with quotes from their own website regarding fraudulent billing practices and “upcoding.”
The billing company reversed themselves within 24 hours.

An orthodox man was throwing a fit because there was a woman next to him. He was demanding my seat. “You. Sit there”.
I refused. Didn’t want to be difficult but he was rude.

Anyone on reddit bother to point out that the reason “royal blood” in the family tree is so common is because the kings had the right to fuck anything on two legs, and frequently did.

I know, right? This letter screams “unreliable narrator”. No sympathy. I know what it takes for a medical practice to fire a patient. It’s very uncommon, even for unpaid bills.
@evolutionarypsy
South Carolina-worst road maintenance and service areas no person of color wants to stop in after dark. Full of nasty, racist throwbacks. Confederate flags everywhere.
I always gassed up just before the state line so I wouldn't have to stop and spend one dime of my money in SC.
@VABVOX
why wouldn't you? this is the worst time to stop. until near universal vaccination achieved, and case counts drop to the level of statistical noise, it's grossly irresponsible for states to drop mask rules.
Personally, I'll be wearing a mask in public for the foreseeable future.

If she's alert, breathing without oxygen, and moving around she's got a very good chance of a full recovery. fingers and paws crossed. Hope you at least got to pet her.

“Metal fatigue” from repeated compression/decompression cycles. In this case possible carbon fiber failure.
Important context is the lack of any sort of safety culture at that enterprise.

He was MARRIED at the time. They met for a drink on the same night she met Harry for the first time.
I'm guessing she thought she was there to pitch a travel/food/lifestyle TV show. He obv had other ideas.

If it's colon, ovarian or pancreatic cancer-particularly if it's in an advanced stage as some reports suggest-she's not going to "bounce back." Chemo has significant permanent effects. She will likely choose to spend the time she has left with her kids. And who could blame her?
@tnicholsmd
Thanks for sharing what many of us have seen, felt, and experienced throughout our careers. I think that the saddest part of the story is that if this guy recovers and leaves the hospital, he will go likely home the same person, still in COVID denial and with his racism intact.
@AKBrews
this is fake. a microscope is lit from below, so the slice is way too thick for that to work. no cover slide=no plane of focus.
plus why should we worry about a spider when our water is teeming with these little guys?

"His body, his choice"---ok then.
Family wants to transfer him-there is not a transplant center in N America who will waste a donor heart on someone who refuses to be vaccinated. it's a surrogate marker for poor adherence to the treatment plan. Better to give it to someone else.
@j_thePA
I was once asked on short notice to work on thanksgiving day. I told her “I wouldn’t do it if you paid me $200 per hour”. She told me they were offering $350. (This was around 1992)
“Yah sure, what time do you want me?”

After the way she treated Meghan at their “walkabout” do you think anyone seriously believes Harry would even take a call from her? Not a chance in hell.

I'd cut him a great deal of slack right now IF he had appeared to have done the first, least thing to suggest he's actually supporting his wife. But he hasn't. Not one word of support for her, he threw her under the bus for the photo, didn't appear in the video, he's been silent.

@OccupyDemocrats
Wrong. Giuliani was always like this. New Yorkers hated him. Remember broken windows policing, he tried to suspend the elections after 9/11 so he could hold on to power. His connection to the Russian mob is scary. His best pal is Bernard Kerik. Shall I continue?

Bad take. Trump is clearly incapacitated. Pence should have triggered the 25th on Wednesday night. His failure to do so ends his political career. Pelosi is trying to protect the country from a mad president and a dithering-or enabling-VP.
@youryurigoddess
I thought this was one of the hottest, horniest moments I had seen on TV between 2 people in public, fully clothed. It just *dripped* sex. I guess our demon likes to watch.
@Toaster_Pastry
All the time. And then again after the same (failed resus of a peds drowning) I splashed some water on my face and went on to the next patient, an elderly woman who told me she heard everything, how sorry she was and offered me a hug.
@cuteahmah
I so get it. Of COURSE she would wear it, and I'm sure she got one of the aunties to show her how to tie it properly.
We also know that there's a 2 thousand $ dress that gonna stay in her suitcase so she can honour her hosts. those other people would NEVER do that.

I mean, really. I know a few radiologists, Ortho and ENT surgeons who are millionaires and make very nice livings, but your average Pharma or BCBS exec makes 5x their salary-that's before perks-AND said MDs gotta cover malpractice, overhead, staff, and office out of their income.

I've been saying this. Strip his committee assignments for the duration of the next congress. be hard for him to build a case for a presidential campaign if he's sitting in his office doing nothing for 2 years.
@generalorthomd
Bottom line, HR doesn't care how good an employee you are, how punctual, how diligent, how well liked, all they care about is meeting their targets*. Employees are no more than widgets to them.
* Targets=bonuses. (for C-suite and management, not for people doing the actual work)
@arnielayne
@joshtpm
Bullshit. Pelosi absolutely does have the right. She is 3d in line to the Presidency, and
#1
and
#2
aren't doing their job. Somebody's got to protect the country. And she is doing it openly, not in secret.
Pence's failure to act here is his political epitaph.
