One of Jim's other great skills is sneezing.
This is Jim, about 1/3 of the way through one of his sneezes, which are always explosive and, like him, large.
This particular sneeze was not detonated in Jim's ideal sneeze environment, which is when he has his face under four inches from mine.

Also, if granny seems forgetful - but not sick or otherwise weird and it's been months since anyone had her for a day out ... that's not an emergency, that's an appointment with their PCP
On behalf of everyone working in healthcare tomorrow:
Please remind your older relatives to take their lasix and stick to their fluid restrictions.

Yup, had to tell a patient yesterday, on different weight loss meds that she did have to eat everyday.

One of the things I want people to take away from this is (CN: EDs): Anorexia doesn't look like you think.
Sometimes, yes, it does.
But a LOT of times it does not. 🧵

Doctors are worried about prescribing GLP-1s to certain patients
With one in eight adults taking drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, emerging evidence shows that the medication has potential to both help and harm people with eating disorders.

Annoyed myself today - went to Costco for vaccine appointment, went a touch early and take my toddler potty before but we were too early and I wasn't allowed in for the bathroom because it was "executive hours only"
The lady was terrified to let me in "on camera"

I hope Player safety is better these days - but I still don't trust the NFL
It’s a real bummer that Seahawks legend Kenny Easley died at the too-young age of 66.
What’s shocking to me is learning that he was diagnosed with kidney failure *while still playing* bc he was being given ibuprofen at about double the recommended dose for months at a time - up to 4,000 mg/day!

i think online gambling is a cancer that is spreading throughout our society, it was a horrible mistake to de-regulate it, and we desperately need to crack down on it again
i can’t talk about sports gambling anymore without sounding like a crank but i do believe legalized sports gambling is like 15-20% responsible for our current dystopia
The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.
