JFC. It’s out in the open now. Republicans want to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion. The ENTIRE budget of Medicaid is $880 billion.

First week new job impressions: - Athena is great. Medhost is not. - Credentialing, as always, continues to suck. - Outpatient medicine is way more flexible than I thought it'd be. - I'm going to spend a million dollars a week at Bigfoot Little Donuts.

The Chiefs can still win if Mike Pence has the courage

I really just cannot overstate how fucking done I am. Civility is out the window. Oh, you wanna talk about how killing the Dept of Ed could be fine? Go fuck yourself. You think tariffs might be helpful? Go suckstart a shotgun. I'm serious, I'm bringin the pain to these conversations. Let's go.

The impact from these EOs have been devastating and immediate. This student, a refuge on TPS from Venezuela, has lost their legal status and will likely have to abandon their collegiate aspirations. What about the nursing shortage?! Are we really going to deport legal, documented nursing students?

Seriously considering attempting to take a travel nurse contract to Canada as a first step on a path towards permanent residency. I cannot stomach all the cruelty that has occurred in the last nine days. Dear God...

As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Surprise! I'm in NYC! Got invited to an internal event at Reddit HQ to be on a panel of moderators. We toured the office and I've eaten half my bodyweight in fresh pasta. Looking forward to the actual event tomorrow!

More credentialing woes. It's going to be at least another week before I can start my new job. I've now been home for a month. I'm baking banana bread. I'm making candles. I haven't worn shoes in weeks. Suddenly I have opinions about sourdough starters. Guys help, I'm going domestic #MedSky

Senator: I’ll speak in his defense because to err is human. Who among us hasn’t shown up drunk to work? Who here hasn’t cheated on their wife? Hegseth: Please stop helping me Senator: Who hasn’t taken off their pants at the zoo?

My MIL gifted me a pink princess philodendron. Through the mail. In the middle of an ice storm. Is there any point in trying to cut it back to bare roots and save it? Help me out #Plantsky

What’s new in #Antihypertensive therapies? 📍Aldosterone synthase inhibitors 📍Angiotensinogen targeted therapies 📍GLP1/GIP receptor agonists 📍Natriuretic peptide 1 receptor agonists And more.. @circaha.bsky.social buff.ly/4h45ULk www.ahajournals.org/doi/epub/10....

Hypothyroidism has various cardiovascular manifestations including arrhythmias, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, heart failure, and pericardial effusion. What are the physiologic mechanisms underlying these associations? Welcome to another #PhysiologyFriday! A 🧵 #MedSky #CardioSky

There IS one benefit of being stuck in credentialing hell and in between jobs. For the first time in almost 15 years, I didn't have to sleep at the hospital because 2" of snow is the end of the world here in the South. First proper snow day I've had since high school!

The current state of humanity in one image

Starting to notice the trend of travel nurse contract pay creeping up again. It's up $800-$1,000 more per week versus last year. Not sure what's driving the change, but considering the concern of avian flu it doesn't bode well for any of us at the moment #nursesky

Been growing this monstera adansonii albo out from a single rootless node for several months now. It's finally starting to really take off and I can't wait to grow it on a pole. Go lil buddy go!

Fun fact: getting the state board of nursing or board of medical examiners to do literally anything between Thanksgiving and New Years is almost impossible. Never try to change jobs in December, learn from my mistakes. Signed, somebody who's perpetually stuck in credentialing

Only 10 months separates these two images of this monster marble queen. They don't call it "The Devil's Ivy" for nothing! #PlantSky

5 months of growth on my favorite plant of them all. String of Pearls are so alien looking! #Plantsky

Must-read review on atrial fibrillation in the latest issue of JAMA jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... @jama.com

As a mother of an autistic child, this makes my blood boil. These kids have a shot at living a meaningful, independent life and UHC is intentionally blocking their access to therapies which are already monumentally difficult to obtain due to waitlists.

Centrists: You should use the courts to police corporate misconduct. Ohio Supreme Court: The fuck you will.

Want a specific example of the death by a thousand cuts that is #PriorAuthorization? Here is an example from yesterday in clinic A short 🧵 I get a note in my inbox that a patient of mine was denied inhaled budesonide for their asthma 1/

Somebody on Reddit suggested using the hashtag #EyeForDeny to share personal stories about how for-profit health insurance companies have impacted your health in a negative way and honestly, I'm here for that kind of energy.
