#ThePitt on @streamonmax.bsky.social does an incredible job of depicting what life in the ER is like. Support for mental health resources has been on the decline for years. We must increase resources to ensure patients are getting the best care possible. #health #mentalhealth #medicine

If H5N1 bird flu becomes a pandemic there will be no doubt about where it started and why. No arguing over lab leaks or bats, nature or bioweapon. US agricultural officials ignored it over the last year hoping it would go away, but it didn't. Capitalism > common sense #medicine #health
