I added PB2 to my protein shake tonight and y'all, I am shook. How did I live before this?
EM doc by day. EM doc by night... also weekends and holidays. Recovering academic. Working full time plus because my cats have become accustomed to a certain lifestyle. Unapologetically anti-fascist. Calling the PNW home.

Dead or alive, still want to see the Epstein files.
I went to dinner with friends this weekend and one couple brought their 5 y/o. He was asking everyone if they wanted to try his apple juice after his mom tried his dad's beer and one of the childless adults said yes and drank it. Absolute hubris.
For those trying to gaslight about vaccinations during the pandemic, just remember: Every hospital in the world had a COVID unit No hospital had a vaccine side effects ward #medsky #covid #vaccinations
I think it would be hard to make a case for routine use of lytics for all comers with refractory v fib but seems like a reasonable hail mary if there's history to suggest OMI.
Did it work before the stent was placed?
Has anyone done thrombolytics for STEMI associated, refractory v fib?
(Not you obs, the original post)
This is a bad take.
Forgive me I believe in self serving fairytales because I'm a really shitty person.
Lol I can't.
Oh I saw all the links in the post, appreciated ❤️
Before I started taking women's studies courses in college, I believed the patriarchy's lie that sexism no longer existed. Which is why the right wants to break down access to birth control and abortion, to trap people in a cycle of poverty and lack of education. (In the US)
Those ears!
Republicans are doing everything they can to disenfranchise anyone who disagrees with them.
I did not realize that so much of Jaws would be a slow boat chase.
I hear they never get sick.
4.5 stars though.
WTF does that even mean.
I don't even think you need to be a doctor!
@emrap.bsky.social's CorePendiun search function down for anyone else?
For a price....
I have caused deep controversy by reporting my AC is set to 76-81 F during the summer.... what are you setting your AC to (if you have it)?
Probably start renting refrigeration trucks.
This is Jack. He shocked everyone with an unhinged scream before he launched into a race… and then won. 14/10 (TT: paigephills)
Vaccines.
I do have accounts with online only banks but I also maintain an account at a local credit union.
What?! Another example of the Donald administration existing solely to groft profit? Color me shocked.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
But in all seriousness, vaccines are one of the greatest marvels of modern medicine. There's definitely sus medicine out there but vaccines ain't it. I wager the pendulum will eventually swing back, the question is at what cost of human life.
Seth I cannot believe you're on this one again. Have you ever actually even seen a bird? A REAL bird??!?
Just tell them to mainline rails Emergen-C powder.
Especially the way it soaks into the pancake, turning it into a soggy, sugary mess. Nom nom nom.
Back to himself it seems!
Just a weird little guy being a weird little guy.
Obviously, anyone who disagrees with their flawless logic is clearly the lesser party.
Getting republicans to cry about woke is so easy it’s like shooting crackers in a barrel.
Truly the dumbest timeline.
"Based on data and past experience, we can expect the labeling changes to have little to no effect on meaningfully reducing overdose rates. The administration would be wise to concentrate its efforts elsewhere." -- @ryanmarino.bsky.social www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/toxi... @medpagetoday.com
As much as I'm sure an early 2000s Corolla brings all the ladies to the yard....
Not for free anyhow.
Moose looks like a quality snuggler.
Me too! He has such a big personality, it was tragic to see it dimmed.
Seems to be back to himself, thankfully! Holding down his normal sleep spot while I cross stitch.
How Mango sleeps.
If water is more acidic than your stomach you are, unfortunately, very much dead.
102 degree weather be damned!!
I still cannot get over people wasting money on "alkaline water."
🤞
Definitely could be just seems like his care team would be aware of it showing, something covered by his clothes seems like it would make more sense. But clearly something is being poorly concealed.
It would be an odd place to put an IV since it's so conspicuous.
Coco's secrets are not for you to know.
Some of my cats will only sit on my lap when a fuzzy blanket is present. I guess it makes me more like a big, cozy cat?

Sir, are you suggesting that gas stations are not the pinnacle of medicine?
Admittedly, there is not a Cracker Barrel in my state so my experience is limited but I am surprised they offer parking lot exorcisms.
That is creepy. I would call police in that situation.
Seattle has fallen
I just read NextDoor for the lols. Yesterday someone posted video of someone ringing their doorbell late at night and someone else, in all seriousness, said they should call the police 😆😆😆
It seems like Mango has possibly turned the corner... seeming much more active and back to himself today 🎉
Damn it. Irl plans.
It's not about stats, it's about human rights. You believe in them or you don't. There's no picking and choosing what suits your cause. You believe a human being has rights or you don't. That's it.
I replied, "I'm sorry what?" And they doubled down, "Oh come on, everyone does it." My guy, the toilet is like, right there. So maybe you'll get more visitors than you think...
Only tangentially related, I was talking to the charge nurse telling her about my mom and I staying out on the coast. I said I got myself a room with a big jacuzzi tub and spent like four hours reading my book. Another staff person said, "and then you and pee in the tub."
I assumed it was the Jennifer Welch video saying white Trumpers can only eat at Cracker Barrel.
She said that would be the next step... giving him another day to recover.
Monday, poor boy.e
Not so much better today. Eating very little. Waiting for a call back from the vet 😭
He's been eating his squeeze up treats but not much else yesterday. I'll try again today with some other delicacies like baby food.
They want to fix an old filling and the our of network cost would be $336. I don't think so!!
Yeah I was not pleased. Now I have to find another dentist and schedule an evaluation because they said one of my old fillings needs to be replaced.
My dental insurance changed this month. I had an appt scheduled and called to let my dental clinic know about the insurance change. I did not find out until checking out after my appointment that they are out of network and my bill was $120 😡
I've been crushing his pain meds into a squeeze treat. He is impossible to pill normally and I don't want to further injure his sore little mouth.
We've definitely slowed down today. Despite both pain meds, he's not very interested in eating but is still eating a little. Mostly slept today. Here's to hoping for a better day tomorrow 🤞
Hoping he will feel better once he's all healed. I was suspicious his teeth were bothering him for the last couple weeks.
Let me get this straight, his argument: I don't know anything about his policies but I like him personally from random, limited interactions and sometimes false information has been published about me in the media ergo I support RFK. Sometimes the correct answer is to STFU and say nothing my man.
Probably!
Seems like he's doing OK, all things considered. Eaten 1.5 cans of wet food. His little mouth is so swollen, he is breaking my heart. 😭😭😭
Peach is ready to DM.
Oh no!
Yeah, he seems super young for that many extractions but what can you do. His teeth were clearly hurting him so hopefully this helps.
Poor Mango, six teeth extracted today 😢
Your beauty is why men turn into animals, AKA, their behavior is your fault simply because you exist. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Omg do you think all those annoying pop up hard stops will form a legion of tiny flying soldiers?!?
A majority of Americans did not vote for Donald. He gained the majority of votes from the 65% of Americans who voted.
To be fair, step one and two of the USMLE/ COMLEX aren't particularly relevant to clinical practice.
😮
We can put Katy Perry in space but can't figure out a way to update Epic without taking the entire system down.
But it's just Epic downtime.
Over here manually calculating anion gaps like it's the dark ages.
I have stress, cold and exercise induced urticaria, I feel you!
I have an area on my leg with no sensation from a previous surgery and sometimes it inexplicably itches, with no ability to scratch and it drives me insane.
Portland politics in a nutshell.
