This post could be one of the most unedifying, tone deaf and deeply inaccurate and divisive pieces of social media I have seen this year. My god. Not only is Ms Phillips actively spreading dangerous misinformation, but she’s also having a full-on conniption fit about being

If we did a better job at diagnosing and treating/supporting people with ADHD earlier, there'd be a significant decrease in those struggling with addictions, mental illnesses, financial issues, and a lower crime rate... As well as lots of people having a better life.

If you've noticed I'm in brain vomit/infodump mode today, sorry for the inconvenience. Woke up with pain that's a solid 8 on my pain scale. My neck is so bad I can barely turn my head. Having to focus on blocking the pain as much as I can = no focus left to stop brain vomiting.😅

I was working this morning (due to an overflow of patients) and saw a woman in her early 40s who's had multiple medical and neurologic problems over the past few years. Aside from interstitial cystitis, her past medical history "appeared" unremarkable. In the middle of her health

Hypermobility issue that most people (without it) don't know about: Having to get into very weird positions to properly stretch. Stg it looks like I'm getting into unknown yoga poses to get my muscles to stretch. Brought to you by: My rhoms are in full spasm this morning. 😭

if you stopped following the scientific research, if you haven't engaged with disability justice politics, if you haven't read about how COVID-19 intersects with racism, transphobia, imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism, you have no right to speak!

if you haven't paid attention to how "back to normal" was one of the largest rollbacks of social welfare policies and degradation of workers' rights in decades and was enabled by a bipartisan coalition of politicians and business executives, you have no right to speak!

Brought my partner to the ED for what I suspected was appendicitis. CT confirmed. Stayed overnight. First thing the surgical PA says when he comes into the room this AM is "What's with the masks?! You guys afraid of getting sick?!" Sir, we're literally in a building of sick?

Zea Cyrus 🌙 Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya Naomi Nkinsi, MD, MPH Note the date. We were being told that it was safe, for us & for our children, to unmask, that same spring & we did, not too many weeks after this date. Our colleagues in partnership nations were being told the opposite. We co-fund their protection with our tax dollars.

Once I said that I'm a doctor he quickly let it go. Lucky to have that privilege in healthcare settings because folks definitely do treat you better, it's just annoying to have to use it. Anyways, I'll stay masking with my patients. It's really not bothersome .

Happy First Day of Meteorological Autumn!
