Pretty sure RFK has been parked outside my house all day

This Bike Kills Fascism: I don’t see anyway out of our situation at this point without total demolition of the system. Stay healthy and exercise as we need to be ready for the long fight! Help those who cannot help themselves. When you need some freedom, gravel ride!

I have to say: My family thinks that I am losing my mind, but you need to stock up on supplies including non-perishable foods and other items to prepare. I cannot guarantee what will happen tomorrow, but please prepare. Establish a community! Work together! Love each other! Help each other!

www.ironfrontusa.org Keep building resistance!

This Bike Kills Fascists In preparation of the grueling years ahead. I cannot stress enough that we all need to work to get into shape. Even if this means just starting by walking or anything to get active. Work your way from there challenging yourself daily with more activity! Prepare for the fight

www.al.com/crime/2025/0... I don’t know if this is the most Alabama thing I have seen today or if it is concise description of the USA at this moment?

I guess RFK, Jr wants to get medieval health care on our asses.

Marine Le Pen found guilty in EU funding embezzlement case www.bbc.com/news/article...

This needs to be the summer of civil unrest! We HAVE no other choice.

As we look ahead to a country without a social safety net, please by all means help your neighbors. Community and shared experiences with unity is how we win!

Spreading a little hope today: now this doesn’t change much, but I have interacted with more and more people down in Bama who are feeling like they got grifted in this election. So, at least there is that. Maybe a little flicker….damn trying to grab onto something.

The world is burning, so I have been sitting and watching. I now just wonder when are they coming for us? I am preparing and you should be as well. I don’t think that this changes without a physical fight. The democrats are spineless as usual, so stop waiting on them!

Again, buried in my work and trying not to lose my mind in the facist hellscape that is brewing. I hope you all are keeping an eye (the best you can considering the blackout) on H5N1. Anyone feeling a little 2020?

Been extremely busy these past few weeks. Hope everyone is well leading up to the looming disaster.

Sorry, been out of pocket for a bit. The wife just got her second dose of Rituximab, and for all of her efforts to avoid being sick, I brought home a cold from the office that I promptly gave her. This year has sucked. #EnCoupdeSabre #Parry-Romberg

Its two am in Alabama, however my thoughts and prayers dont seem to be working.

Did UnitedHealthcare pay you to say this Vinay?

The prior authorization was again denied from the peer to peer. When she came back to the clinic six months later, I was able to re-order her screening CT scan, which subsequently revealed metastatic lung cancer. She died six months later. This is why I am feeling this way today.

Prior authorization was denied while she was waiting for the scan. I was requested to do a peer to peer while I’m in clinic while the patient was waiting. I got on the phone to do the peer to peer, which took about one hour to even get someone on the phone. The patient decided to leave. 

For example, one of my patients received her screening CT of her chest, that scan revealed and 8 mm nodule that was suspicious, but right at the cut off. The radiologist recommended a repeat CT scan in six months. This was ordered for my patient. She went to get the CT performed, but

I don’t condone the killing anyone, but I seem to have some feelings that I don’t exactly know how to deal with. I’m two separate occasions United healthcare, dragging their feet and denying coverage for certain imaging for my patients have led to two deaths within my patient panel. Post continues:

Late night for me. Revisiting The Walking Dead because that is where we are.

Outside and gravel riding. Letting off steam.

Late nights recently for me. Haven’t posted up in a bit. Will resurface soon enough. Good night!

Feeling’ a little peaky before LTACH rounds.

www.who.int/news-room/sp... Could someone show this to RFKjr? I mean it walks you through the history in a way that even a seven year old could understand.

The privilege to wake up and be the Medicine and Peds hospitalist today.

www.npr.org/2024/11/13/g... This just proves a simple point: No one in the coming administration cares about anyone else but themselves. Just appoint rapists and pedophiles to key roles. There is not any strong opposition nor a party to stand up to it as they are all on the take. Burn it all!

15M people on Bluesky!!! 💫 The Verge beat us to our own announcement — that's the beauty of an open network with public stats!

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Unfortunately, most rural physicians are under-educated, under-prepared, and the majority in my area are quite phobic. I have people drive from the city to my rural clinic for care. There are so many layers to splice that this small study doesn’t hit all aspects.

Oh, beautiful, beautiful LTACH. Ventilator ding here, productive cough there, trachs all around!

On the antivax front, 300% in Pertussis cases in my state!! Alarm bells!! I am so excited to move into the Trump/Kennedy years now 😞…. alabamareflector.com/briefs/whoop...

Just as a FYI, Elon Musk is the new Joseph Goebbles. Watch it all in real time, it did not sink in. His use of Twitter to spread misinformation and his monies are all it took to put Trump back in the White House. If you have friends on “Twitter”. Get them off of that platform.
