I brushed my hair with a claw clip. I put my contacts in specimen containers and borrowed some contact solution from a coworker. I took hospital scrubs with me. I was so unprepared for this! But the hotel is better than the roads 👍

You know what, administrators be fucked up.

This should be enough to cancel elective surgeries, but hospitals gonna fuck around with the safety of their staff and threaten them with discipline 🤷🏼‍♀️

February is Black History Month. Today, we’d like to draw attention to the Bob Jones Nature Center in Southlake. Named after a former slave, the nature center once provided vital education for our community. The nature center building is now open just one day a month.

Honestly, it's hell that I've been stuck here all week, and by the time I can finally get home, I'm on call Friday and Sunday.

A guy walked into a junior high in my district today, took out a gun, and killed himself with it. Right in front of everyone. It would have been a national story back when we were sane. But today, no coverage. It's not a story. It's just a Thursday in #Ohio.

Doesn’t do anything after Santa Fe. ✅ Doesn’t do anything after El Paso. ✅ Doesn’t do anything after the freeze. ✅ Doesn’t do anything after Uvalde. ✅ Doesn’t do anything about the countless lives lost. ✅ Wants to ban TikTok. You can’t make this shit up.

Greg will ban a social media app before banning the guns used to murder our children.

Paxton, who's married, has his real estate buddy hire his girlfriend and then appts a special counsel who goes after his buddy's enemies. Underlings blow the whistle and are then fired by Paxton. Now taxpayers are footing the $3.3M settlement. #texasgop texastribune.org/2023/02/09/ken…

I am tired of patients only showing up the OR for the D&C they NEED once they're septic, needing blood, and near death 😡 Texas is torturing women!
