$2.3M doesn’t seem like enough pillows

Can confirm all of this from experience. It is incredibly sad. Also, as a pediatrician, I told all 4 grandparents that pertussis vaccination (ahead of time) would be a prerequisite to seeing their grandchild. Guess what, they loved him enough to do it. Embarrassed she has a cross in her handle?!?

I love this. Every time I see a news story about kids honoring a janitor, cafeteria worker, coach, or teacher, I appreciate these people and LOVE how much kids respect them.

Such a loss. What a great person, pediatrician, and informaticist. Thinking about his friends and family.

I do support EBM and do not mean to argue that RFK Jr’s common sense is sensical nor that everything needs an RCT.

Unsure why this comment reminded me of this… Maybe we should suggest they participate? www.bmj.com/content/327/...

proud of what? I’m sure (actually afraid) their parents are proud.

Way to “touch grass”! Beautiful!

“i” see what you did there we might have to be careful, though, they might want to ban teaching math they don’t understand

Does this mean The Hot Zone is going to become a banned book?!? There are a few BSL-4 labs in the US (I assume they are still operating) where he could test his theories.

But, can he grift for himself or friends using real, correctly interpreted scientific knowledge about cholera? 🤫

Same, my wife was less excited 😆

…correction…as the well known battle cry goes…I would like show him “my bag of Fs”
comment in response to post
This doesn’t even make sense! Trumpist’s hate the USA. This is propaganda meant to shift blame when real Americans fight back against rich grifters using the government to make themselves richer. I would like to tell him how many Fs I give about his bad day.

Hey, so does ice! Good thinking. Melting of (real) snowflakes is a sad time of year, though.

I volunteer as tribute (hopefully in 30-50 years), although some accuse me of this vibe now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Love, but missing a few complicit folks. Although, that would be a lot to draw.

This! What is there to brag about or celebrate other than their being delusional?

Our politics are far from perfect, but 1) Warnock, 2) Ossoff (sometimes), 3) not endorsing him, but Raffensberger is one of a few repubs who had the guts/integrity to stand up to 🍊 in 2020. MTG should probably be in prison (not my district)

So sad! I heard him speak when I was still a med student and he was early in his career. Brilliant - what a loss. Thinking about his friends and family.

A CGM = continuous glucose monitor CAN’T profoundly reverse T2 on its own, all it does it monitor one’s glucose. Helpful, but not sufficient. Sometimes diet and exercise can be enough, but often medication is necessary and may not be available to people if they don’t have insurance…

💯agree, but are you referring to the worm people? Why blame it on the worms? They actually do useful stuff for research and the planet. 💚

But, my ex-*’s brother’s sister in law is in {insert health profession or adjacent} school… Anecdotally, I find and LOVE that RN’s are rarely like this. They act nonchallant and then drop things like…”are you sure that sphygmomanometer cuff wasn’t upside down?” 🤣

There is no question about whether insulin works if it is taken. Sure, in T1, metformin won’t help. The point is a CGM alone is not going to treat diabetes. Diet *alone* is NEVER going to treat T1 diabetes.

Where can we donate to his legal defense (or, if he wants, help him buy Mar a Lago when 🍊 finally goes to jail)
