The pediatric residents have adopted a quiet rebellion by mentioning vaccine status up front in their presentations (“this is a 2 year old fully/partially/un- vaccinated…) Mentioned it at the end of the week to compliment them, but they denied it was political, just an important part of the history

I was recently asked by a few people at #SCCM2025 if they could share this ‘Toolkit for Hard Days’ that the #PedsICU nurses made from one of my posts (🔗 in comments). I can’t overstate how happy I am to share it with anyone who could be helped by it. #MedSky

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

This is a false distraction, just like the tariffs. The US is not a current member of the UNHRC. Membership is by secret ballot of the UN general assembly. The US is not 'withdrawing' so much as 'trying not to look like the unpopular kid'.

I’m sorry I have been such a bad influence lately. Cats should not smoke cigarettes, or eat rubber bands, or sneak outside into the courtyard when the janitor is just trying to take out the recycling. I am sorry but I likely will not be able to consistently make better choices

I don’t buy the idea that the Gaza comments are designed to distract us from the coup. Because not long ago the same people said that the coup comments were designed to distract us from something else. He is chaotic and corrupt. There is no pattern or plan. Nothing is impossible.

I was just discussing this with friends. I wish it weren't going to be like this. "The pages of history are written in blood" is easy to say at a distance. It's much harder to say in one's own time. Bloody Sunday, the Salt March, and many other peaceful actions were met with violence. Are we ready?
