How do you “accidentally” fire someone? Can the media stop pretending these aren’t just incredibly stupid people making stupid decisions that they aren’t qualified (or legally allowed) to make?

Fentanyl cannot get into your system unless you ingest it. “Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. If the police don’t know basic chemistry or physics then they probably should stop cosplaying as experts on toxicology

Pfizer’s cancer drug commercial was beautiful, but their breast cancer drug Ibrance costs $10k per month and their prostate cancer drug Xtandi costs $22k per month. Beautiful commercials don’t change the fact that 42% of cancer patients exhaust their life savings in 2 years.

You absolutely are not allowed to be in charge of science funding if you don’t know the difference between transgenic and transgender, and you should probably lose your $175/yr taxpayer job if you’re this bad at it

Norovirus is a cool virus because it doesn't have a lipid envelope. That means it is incredibly stable in the environment. So in addition to causing violent vomiting, diarrhea, & stomach cramping, it can be shed in your stool for 2 weeks, AND hand sanitizers are ineffective on it. FUN!

Health insurers are increasingly interfering in care, an NBC News investigation has found. Doctors say the stakes are highest in cancer care, when delays can be the difference between life and death.

I’ve been reading the Dr. Smith ECG blog for years and so I would guess that the original OMI-manifesto is about 10 years old. But now bigshots Bob Harrington, CM Gibson and John Mandrola have all promoted it. So maybe finally time for a paradigm shift in STEMI? doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

They know the outrage will be limited and things will blow over. As long as profits keep rising, all is well. We’ve had examples like this over and over and over, but the system propagates itself. There’s too much money in it. The time for incremental change is long gone. Revolution.

lol wow this site really is just ten times better than Twitter, huh. People are like "It's just like old Twitter," and nah, I disagree. It's better. Old Twitter didn't have Starter Packs, moderation lists, quote-reply detaching, reply-hiding, none of that. It's better.
