consider a career in nephrology if you wanna be woken up in the middle of the night for stuff that doesn’t matter. if that seems like the life for you, please check your nearest nephrology fellowship program. they’ll have spots open.

If you want an escape from the horrors I highly recommend the #goodlunch feed. Where people post their good lunch and we all chant Good Lunch! At them. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I was told I’d feel fine at the end of the world

When I ask a patient what medicines they take and they wave their hands and say “it’s in the chart” I need them to understand that “the patient’s chart” is a mythical concept, more akin to the scattered scribblings of the British constitution rather than a single, comprehensive document.

Happy retraction day!

They’re saying Elon’s not smart enough to build a submarine capable of visiting the wreckage site of the Titanic. They’re saying he doesn’t have enough money or gumption to do it. They’re saying he’s too much of a loser that he couldn’t even find four to five friends to bring along with him.

U.S. physician colleagues - did you know that Ontario, Canada has 3 expedited pathways to practice in our province? All specialties have needs. We *really* need great family docs! www.cpso.on.ca/Physicians/R...

I would say the ability to be logged into a meeting and shop at the same time is my biggest downfall (or greatest achievement?!?)

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the leading cause of infectious birth defects and linked to many other morbidities such as with transplantation. For the first time after >50 years of pursuit, a vaccine is in reach jci.org/articles/vie...

I know this is on a similar level of the kind of person who’s annoyed by other people saying “PIN number” but I really don’t like it when other doctors document a completely anuric patient’s eGFR in their note. If they don’t make urine, they don’t have a GFR, estimated or otherwise!

#goodlunch….coq au vin leftovers

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

No-takeout January begins for me tomorrow so today I got myself a very #goodlunch

I feel like Maria Antoinette whenever a pharmacist asks for a reference for off label use (paxlovid for covid19 in patients with advanced kidney, and I just provide the paper I co authored https://buff.ly/3DymnJx Let them peasants eat Pubmed

Controversial take: the social worker role in dialysis should be completely revamped. Stop wasting their time on worthless KDQOL data collection and certify them in psychotherapy and CBT instead so dialysis patients have weekly access to therapy sessions. #Nephsky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Such a #goodlunch I couldn’t get a picture in time. Ha’s dim sum and noodle house on Somerset

Happy Jolabokaflod to all who celebrate.

The Killers released a Christmas song every year for over a decade. All proceeds from those singles went to charity. Those songs are now all together on an album: “Don’t Waste Your Wishes.” Check it out if you want some different Christmas tunes! They’re bangers.

Merry Christmas Eve #Medsky! Thank you to everyone who is working and taking call on the holiday so that your partners can be with their families.

Another #goodlunch…soup dumplings with a side of pan fried. Sammi soup in the Byward market
