I was a #refugee. English was my 2nd language. I am an #NIH funded #physician-researcher who believes in science & human compassion. I am a #childlesscatlady. I am well aware that I am everything this administration hates, and I have no intention of going quietly into the night. #medsky

Pharmacy called saying my DEA expired & they can't fill the Rx I had written. Spent all morning trying to remember how to renew DEA, emailing my staff, letting patient know that drug will be delayed since it takes weeks to renew expired license.
Turns out my DEA wasn't even expired. Kill me now.

Our flight is at 11:45 and airport is 20 min away. We’re going to uber and have TSA precheck and not checking bags. Hubs wants to leave house at 1030. That seems unwise no?
