incredibly compelling: It wasn't "pulling the rug out" from Afghans or hit to morale of the army that led to collapse. The fix was in from Karzai and Khalilzad sarahchayes.org/post/the-ides-…

Vote NO on this motherfucking RECALL. The ballot’s in your mailbox. Vote No. that’s all. Then send her in. If Republicans find this recall grift works they’ll do it everywhere.

Wow. Take some time to watch and listen. Thank you to “The Dan’s” and Chapman’s for your courage. ECMO is pretty universal now and it started with one patient.

96% of the people in this country who graduated from medical school looked at the data on vaccines, and made the same choice for themselves that they are asking you to make. Do we really believe Twitter or tik tok or cable news knows more about medicine than 96% of US docs? 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's Charles Bonnet Awareness Day. Up to half of all people with macular degeneration are thought to experience visual hallucinations. These are silent, potentially scary and impact people's daily lives. They are not a sign of a mental illness and nobody should suffer alone.

1. Under correct ET in aphakes 2. Consider taking obliques for large angle sensory XT 3. The prevalence of PHOMS and need to do OCT in these patients

Maria Stunkel, MD (@mariastunkelmd) 's Twitter Profile Photo

1. Consider stopping routine 6 month follow up for low risk ROP infants 2. Okay to skip patch testing for ET; does not alter surgical plan 3. We all need to do better to increase visibility of #pedsophtho to recruit and retain the next generation of pediatric ophthalmologists

There are days at work that are hard. Battling for prior authorizations. Explaining to an insurance company why strabismus is a medical issue And then there are days when I get a text from a mom of a patient completely out of the blue #medtwitter #pediatrics #Ophthalmology

Scope creep is affecting our patients in a lot of different ways. What we know, it doesn’t increase access, doesn’t decrease costs, and is not necessary. Please urge Gavin Newsom to veto this bill.
