WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK?

rage rage rage rage rage

So much rage these days.
Q: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists put out a statement saying 'acetaminophen remains a safe option for pain relief during pregnancy.' That's at odds with you

TRUMP: That's the establishment. They're funded by lots of different groups. And you know what? Maybe they're right.

Can't help but notice the more understated approach to memorialising kids slain at school over the years.

To be clear:
Every death to gun violence an absolute tragedy.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Terrifying for families.
Horrifying to patients afterwards.

See a lot of feelings of guilt and shame about delirium-driven agitation at our post-ICU clinic.

“Nobody used the word delirium. I thought I’d lost my mind.”

— Delirium survivor

➡️ Always provide clear information, including telling the patient they have delirium, during the episode. Then explain & de-brief afterwards.

Have seen #cocaine related stroke, heart failure, psychosis, seizure and suicidality all in the last year, and all in under 45s.

Gather also young people's are being enticed with a "free bag" and then pursued, along with their families, for the debt.

No joke.

Think carefully before you go there.
