Some of the night residents describe CIWA patients "getting a little squirrely overnight" and that's my new fav description

I think Donald would make a very nice Pope. (Get him out of the White House)

Yes, this is a real tweet.

I've had two patients in the last week with end-stage tuberculosis that killed or will kill them. In today's world, that's unacceptable. Nobody should die of TB anymore. It really is a shame this country is about to make it even harder to reach those who most need help.

My boy is an athlete

Got a healthy 60f no medical hx or known drug/alcohol use currently intubated and waking up on 70 propofol, 1.5 precedex, and fentanyl pushes. What is happening

I was just charged $13 for a half pint of tuna at a bagel store. What the hell? Anyway they just lost a customer.

Hard not to read this as the federal government taking the official position that LGBT Americans should kill themselves

First day back in the ICU and I really miss my dog

I asked ChatGPT again to create an image of my life based on what it knows about me. Forget that it thinks I'm a dude. Zoom in on some of those post its and tell me Al is coming for our jobs 😂

How much black licorice can I eat before I arrhythmia myself

I was never good at imperial measurements. One Hegseth is how many Scaramucci's again?

I've ruined my mother 😂

Led my first climb today. Nailed it 💪🏻

I now gift you a picture of Charlie so that we can miss him together

London bus stop near Amazon HQ 🔥

maybe katy perry going to space will be remembered as the moment we collectively realized this was all too stupid to continue the way it's been going

On the IDSA website trying to figure out if I have enough time to finish an abstract before the ID Week abstract deadline and I am now acquainted with Vax C. Nate 🥰

Relatable

Have I smiled at your dog yet today?

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

Best use of AI I’ve ever seen Elno: “F*ck I’m so alone”

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

So this is very bad. The government does not have the staff to keep its networks & data secure or functional. As a result, the HHS won’t be able to protect sensitive data or carry out its work. Imagine the US without research, emergency response, prevention, regulating medicines, health insurance…

He makes it sound so easy 😭

Guys. I'm nailing ACLS on ChatGPT. 💪🏻

I'm in neurology clinic this week with one of my favorite attendings. I mentioned my undergrad MS research to him in passing and HE KNOWS MY ADVISOR I'm shooketh

Is this really where we want to be spending our money right now

I had a dream a guy had cutaneous larva migrans in his neck and I watched it migrate to his brain in real time and kill him 😐

Are men okay?

If only we had a team of brilliant disease detectives... Perhaps an Epidemic Intelligence Service? Maybe as a branch of the CDC, idk. Just a thought.

No, dumbass. Not that.

Won't see Mr. Charles for at least another 5 weeks due to impending ICU hours. V sad send condolences

I am left speechless. I have nothing else.

Guys there's a very long article about ADD in the Times today and the read-aloud time is over an hour and when I saw that I went bye Because ADD
