Hahaha if you stand between an elderly person with comorbidities and an appropriate seasonal vaccine, you're going to the special Hell. *signs a freaking prescription for a person to get a fucking FLU SHOT what even the fucking hellscape*
Not your MD, find another. BLM, TLM. No terfs, you buttheads. I probably need a nap.

What that, you've tried nothing at all for it and you still feel bad? I need someone to come and collect the elderly people who are nonsensical but also do not qualify as either demented or delirious. Wrap 'em in cotton wool, load 'em up w/ the right OTC meds, spoon in some soup, then naps for all.
Good person, you've have COVID for a few days now & you haven't taken anything for your symptoms, so you feel bad from unaddressed symptoms. Maybe at least do a Mucinex about it. "Well, I hate medications. I was wondering if you should Rx antibiotics." (Yes, those sentences followed one another.)
When you got the ‘Rona in your house and so you buy masks for the house and you find the ones that fit you. You know, The kids’ ones. #short
I am here to attest that "I'm here, ain't I" is in fact a trauma triage level.
(Also, def living country doc life: gorgeous eggs, fresh tomatoes, Highly Questionable preserves no one should open indoors, and very elderly people doing shit you should only do with a rig and a cherry picker, not a ladder and a chainsaw.)
I come from blue collar, unionized people. Grandpa retired & started a 2nd career. Momma retired then unretired. Now I'm an MD. I'm treating those people, teaching them better, giving them info they didn't have to get better for selves & babies. Happy Labor Day, y'all! #nowarbutclasswar
Th - I... it is too early in the universe for this sort of pun, you!
Yeah, my prob is always the opposite end of the spectrum, being a teacup human but will keep an eye out.
I just want you to know that as an adult I absolutely own the widelegs I wanted back then. No JNCO, though, that's still some absolute bullshit pricing.
DAMMIT JAMIE THAT MOUTHFUL OF CO-COLA FUDGE CAKE WAS INNOCENT
In the country, which is losing people to more populous areas where pay is better and losing staff for old folks' homes to venture capitalist's cannibalization, and now often losing state and definitely Fed support for the few public health programs. The message: why won't you just die already?
I've been all "argh, *very old people*!" the past few weeks but honestly, policy put us in a place where a 75 yo man gets up in a tree w a chainsaw. Where a 92yo woman living alone, nearly blind + deaf, is trying to manage her own meds & life, 1 meal/day, w/ a worried neighbor alerting me/us.
My mind supplied me with "tragic picnic wedgie" and I am HERE for celebrating a remarkable, comical outcome. TBH I think we're all due that.
Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
*soft shoe* Deattttthhhhh culllllllt! *razzamatazz*
Toddlers' jobs are to see how they can break things till they trip across empathy. That thing, this thing, that other thing, your thing, you are a thing to break. They might be, too - nowaitOWWW. Yeah. Toddlers.
The lablewblew things? Renamed them this morning: Pazuzu. Now they are all Pazuzu in our house. Look at those faces, of *COURSE* they're all harbingers of drought and devouring locusts!
Aw cool I hate this. I'm also not surprised - there's people who want a similar plan, kept updated, for every major American city. If Batman became a fascist, basically. "For preparedness!" Against what? "...ermmm..."
Holy moly, what's this? A bunch of white-presenting people making scapegoats of two Black women w/o all the facts? In the SF author space? My word, what shock, how surprise, much kiss right off down the road. Y'all need to find a new MO. This one's more predictable than your plots.
Oh my DANG, do I like those. Noice.
As a white Southerner from the area around where Cracker Barrel was founded and who legit thought as a young child that was my Grandpa on the logo, I promise it's disingenuous at best to say that removing the dude is erasing poor white Southern folk. I promise we know what that looks like.
Yeah. FWIW, though, this one hit at just the right time and as a result I saw a thing, wanted to check I saw a thing and did a deep dive and I take it back, that's not only chronic venous insufficiency, that's advancing BAD heart failure. I'm gonna wear cheerful colors and eat lots of fruit. You?
Holy crap. I knew that man is definitely bigger than I am because c'mon, but that is his hand around an 8-ounce cup! He's the Jolly Blue Giant!
It's okay to avoid using words if you don't understand their meaning, folks. Merriam-Webster: "disingenuous, adj. dis·in·gen·u·ous/dis-in-ˈjen-yə-wəs -yü-əs : lacking in candor also : giving a false appearance of simple frankness : calculating"

Narrator: it was, in fact, related.
Seriously. “A raccoon did… what?” “Why is there any diagnosis code involving orcas, but specifically, why are there several?”
Unrelated, did you know “acquired buried penis” has a diagnosis code? Yep! N48.83 is a current one.
*buffs nails* Already workin’ on it. No gum though, been unable to tolerate it since my first pregnancy.
Mine's a Virgo and the other day she tried to teach me, her nearly menopausal eldest child who is a physician, that having a more regular sleep-wake cycle post-residency would probably be a good thing for me. Good thing I love her.
As we know, I like 'em corn-fed - and that man cleared pathways for me in Friday night streets in the French Quarter with just a look. And he thinks I'm pretty. I literally said, "oh, this man's genes are gonna carry on if I have anything to say about it," & now he's married to a doctor. MINE.
My only issue with the teacher supply list is that they should never have to do that. Cops in small towns can get tanks, teachers shouldn't have to beg for pencils.
Hahaha your standards for “not quiiiiiite” are a delight.
…you JUST realized?
Anyway, now working at a place with proof of better respect for labor, having proved to themselves that rapid personnel turnover at clerical or clinical level is very expensive as well as demoralizing. I'm hopeful.
And when I say "functionality" I mean that the Cerner they made us use at my last place was a limited version purchased in about '99. It looks forward to the advent of Windows ME. It doesn't know what crtl+F means. I've used MUCH better Cerner versions, too, it was just cheaping out.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but I'm starting work for a place where everyone calls the CEO by his first name, clinical AND clerical staff get periodic *company* productivity bonuses w/ transparency AND vote on important stuff to discuss at Board meetings. Also so much EMR functionality.
*hands you your welcome cane*
A four-part drama in black and white:
Can I just say that I dearly, DEARLY love how a 'shopped meme of Vance is now official record in several nations' government proceedings, as well? Just love it.
We need to load up people crossing borders with all the latest memes to see what else can get Streisand Effect'd
As an MD I will remind this pantheon that it could be worse while giving a Significant Look at the Upper and Lower Nile.
So many reasons to have left and at this point it's just about adding to the bonfire of the weird, racist, pedo vanities.
Meanwhile Japan's out there making renewable energy for electricity use hotspots (cities) by turning pedestrians' footsteps into energy. Go... uh, well. Go them, honestly.
I want to make clothing that fits me and mine, in nice fabrics. I am a hobby tailor, ffs. Sometimes I want to make pretty things that fit this ~3" tall frame. (We will not talk about how the ND influenced the learning sewing, then tailoring, but here we are.)
And the reason that I expect it will go to shit is that it will need normal (though happily rare) maintenance and the parts won't be available anymore unless someone's cannibalizing one of these. My previous model I paid for a replacement sewing deck light & got a refund in 18 mos b/c not available.
(Bernina, if you're asking. Under the same family's ownership since 18xx - unless they also get bought out twixt now and when I'll be buying, in which case welp, we'll see.)
I expect that in a couple years' use, this one will start going to shit, if 'Net reports from, y'know, various continents of users are correct, even though my model was made just before that purchase. Hence the move to a different line entirely.
And to be clear, I have such a machine now. Does fine, though I'll be selling this one on and upgrading to a completely different company's top-of-the-line because while this company used to deserve loyalty, it doesn't since after being bought by SVP.
I swear, I just want to buy a combo embroidery-sewing machine that can sew clothes after I design and sew some loveliness on it. You already pay $$$$-$$$$$ for these machines, now these assholes want you to pay another $500/yr. They can go eat a turd.
LOL mySewNet is now a different business. 'Scuse me while I just open up my Embird 2024, which literally cost me like... $250 for the full version, as opposed to a ridiculous, stepped subscription model that would cost nearly 2x that for what I do with it. NOAP.
Lo humidity, hi of 85F today, opened the house: I'm never going back: I feel my toes at last! Feel my toes, Got blood flow I feel my fingers tooo! ^)&* Reynaud's Hate it so Turns my fingers red, white, & blue And I can feel my Extremities Gonna keep it off: Non-humid warm never bothered me anyway.
Today is Juneteenth. Instead of erasing the history of this country, we choose to learn, share, and grow. Here's the history of Juneteenth, and why it matters today:
Playing a game yesterday & saw a polearm-using player character named “Thrust Issues.” I wheezed and now am here to tell all of you about it. Public service, accomplished. #NewWorldAeternum #HolyCrapThatGameMakesMyGPUNeedDuoNebs
Richmond, honey.
Guys, I don't even know any more. I don't even know. I'm just trying to stay busy and avoid doomscrolling because I'm doing the little I can do way over here. Tell you what, though: Glandrew Bakefield's headstone's gonna permanently be yellow and I sure wish he'd get on with that.
TAKE THE BABY HOME also update your TdaP because pertussis is also Having A Moment.
*warms myself gently from the heat of this good burn*
Yesssss one of the students who did a rotation at the clinic in the past 18ish months had this. I never found out who it was but absolutely laughed my butt off before I got out of my car.
I saw this sweet boy on IG and if you are in NY and looking for an older cat maybe check him out. He’s had a bit of a hard go and deserves a wonderful home. www.petfinder.com/cat/winston-...
this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake
*sigh* If you're a bootlicker fanboy for the drug-addled South African-born Ratface, I am not your type. Shoo.
*spits Coke laughing*
...baaahahahahaaaa! Hahahahaaa *wheeze* aaaahahaha! BANNON wants the drug use investigated! Hahahahahahah ahmigawd that is richer than my cheesecake!
IMPORTANT: Please remember to loudly bully and ridicule your local Dem politicians if they decide that El*n might be a good “ally” for the party
Hey, did that dude ever actually show up? Just realized I can't recall.
I came here to ask this. Sometimes the 'Net is reassuring.
My hair's the right color again. Feels like I'm properly me! :D I used my favorite product: a finely sifted, body art-quality henna. Put a little cardamom in it this time. I love it! This is MY HAIR. Mmmm. It's just... correct. Me. The above can also be an allegory for Pride month. #str8
Oh v helpful! Esp. the Mock Leno seems ideal for here after the humidity approaches silly levels - am in the SE US. Thanks!
No style question for me, as I'm pretty femme-presenting and also very petite. Although if you want to discuss dressing a 6' tall nice dude with paunch for a semi-formal summer dinner thing, that would be welcome....
And all due respect to someone's yiayia, but if you take out the chicken skin & replace it with *margarine* I'm gonna look at you sideways. Also, I know it's not avgolemono anymore and my fam is still dancing at the table.
I'M JUST SAYIN' that if you add a can of full fat coconut milk to your avgolemono chicken soup your family will arise and call you blessed, although Mikki is specifically excepted from this proverb.
You know what's great? Starting week two of vacation. Yes. Yessss....
Haaaahahahaha, oh bless!
Every fucking ICE agent at these raids looks like he has to buy his own new Truck Nutz every Father's Day because his grown kids are no-contact
Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.
I listened to a clip of "Hollaback Girl" from the recent AMAs and, uh, y'all, why has Phyllis Diller possessed the vocal cords of Gwen Stefani?

Wearing a Mucha-inspired Girl On Fire post-burn dress tee today that I bought about 2017. REALLY hoped it would not be as on point as it remains to be today, nearly 10 years later.
I am now on vacation. I have caught up my office paperwork. I have forwarded messages and my EMR stuff. And if I get some reimbursement checks, I might be able to head to home for a couple days to hug friends and see family with B. That's still up in the air but what isn't? So much sleep.
Heh sorry, I meant to send that as a reply to Mikki. I appreciate the, heh, boost!
I sensed something in the Short People Force and very nearly instinctively responded with a “HEY!” reaction before I realized you were pointing it at @thewayoftheid.bsky.social but she is still a Short-Short People Union member so I “HEYYYYY!” On her behalf. #SSPU #KneePunchingUnion
Look at you, just out here improving folks’ days like this. I’m just delighted to know you.
Report back!
Good morning y'all, welcome to a day where Nottoway is still burned to its base. How y'all are?
I... I... ...Mikki, honey, you're gonna have to save yourself because I'm just... I will throw soft, green money at this GFM.
I mean, you're in luck, my last day in their clinic for this rotation was today but I'm *watching* you.... *looks at you over my glasses*
Like, so many people are talking about the loss of a business with genuine grief (and making videos about it!) and not once engaging with how plantations were built and what they actually represent in American history. It's wild to do that with your whole name and face attached.
Watching the reactions to the plantation fire and comparing them to the reactions to fires set to terrorize Black people at churches, schools, orphanages...there's a book in here
I'm bred, born, & raised Southern, a hobbyist historian, and I'll own I'm from blue-collar cracker stock, and I say not ONE damn plantation should be used for weddings or parties for anyone but maybe the descendants of enslaved people who died/worked there. If they like.
Oh, an old torture center folks were using for inappropriate occasions burned, was extinguished, "self-ignited" in another portion and then burned all the way the fuck down? You don't say? Y'all I'm having mac n cheese with fake crab in and used a compound parm & basil butter. NOM, y'all.
Oh dang, a year already? Gosh just seems evergreen, I guess.
See? Mm hm.
"...class-based barriers in force." Gosh, I love both sleep and adequate caffeine.
I'll add that not having this will keep them down and behind professionally. I PROMISE you I won't work with or send patients to a doctor who cannot admit a mistake or have some empathy for my patient. Redpilling all these boys keeps class-based barriers in enforced.
if someone gets really into Bigfoot or aliens or whatever it's probably enough to say "hey I don't believe this but I still care about you". If someone embraced darker, outright evil shit you need to be able to say "I care, but you can't be a part of my life again until you leave this behind."
