Trump’s HHS put me on “non-disciplinary” admin leave today. This was retaliation for speaking up. Moves like this are designed to silence us. Let’s not let.

I guess I am hitting a nerve, because they just put me on admin leave.

If you have to start differentiating between pedophilia, hebephilia, and ephebophilia...

You're either a clinician or researcher in the field... or you're pedo or a pedo-apologist like Megyn Kelly.

It would be tragic if the Epstein files dragged Larry Summers down, said no leftist ever.

Right now, Karoline Leavitt is being coached on how to say “ephebophilia” in the least creepy way possible.

Yesterday entering Canada the immigration officer asked what my job was in the US & I said I was a physician

Then he straight up said: "Have you considered moving to Canada? There are a lot of US doctors and nurses moving here to work"

Like even passport control is recruiting the brain drain 👀

Sickening. Any person who would of their own volition take action to intentionally starve children for political gain is a sociopath who should be locked up permanently in a place they can't harm society.

Just one quick easy add on clinic visit in the afternoon on a Friday is:
1) Never Quick
2) Never Easy
3) Always requires specialty consultation or an ER visit.

I don't make the rules. But I did make the same mistake of saying yes again.

Trying to pick fabric for a banquette we're making and apparently 1970s patterns are back

My responses:
- I'm pretty sure I had a pair of corduroy pants in that pattern in the 2nd grade
- I vomited on that couch in my elementary school guidance counselor's office
- that one smells like a cigarette

I was trying to find out how to give $ to help offset Trump's Hunger Games stoppage of SNAP benefits. I'm in CA and we're doing better at trying to feed our people than other states.

This is the organization: give.feedingamerica.org Every $1 gives 10 meals

1. As SNAP benefits expire, 42,000,000 hungry people may turn to the USDA website.

Now, the website blames their hunger on transgender people and immigrants.

It's a cynical ploy, an an indication that anti-trans measures are a Trump priority for the shutdown.

Damn. I thought it was going to be worse.

I got T2DM in 2020 (turns out being an ER doc in a pandemic & eating your feelings is not metabolically "healthy").

Was pretty sure being a trans doc taking care of trans people in a trans genocide world be equally bad.

Can you be healthy for spite?

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
