Dear new intern who just broke death news to a pt’s family member, It is okay to cry. Do not feel like everyone else is just moving on with their day. Everyone deals with this grief differently, and no, it does not get easier. Being you, a human, makes you a better doctor. (1/2)

SHM congratulates pediatric hospitalist Dr. Annie Andrews (@AnnieAndrewsMD) on her historic election to the U.S. Senate, where she will become both the first hospitalist to serve in the chamber and the first woman elected to represent South Carolina in the Senate. 👏

One of the marks of a truly excellent musical cover is that it makes you appreciate the original even more. E.g.: The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” has always been a solid tune, but after Kelly Clarkson slayed it, even the original sounds that much more aurally satisfying to me.

As someone whose toddler has been up at 4:30 AM the last 2 nights, I have never been more enthusiastic about getting rid of #DaylightSavingTime. Sleep docs seem to agree permanent Standard Time is best. We tried permanent DST and it sucked in the 1970s, so down with DST.

I swore off Paramount+ because the app sucked on every device and I didn’t need another streaming service. But all these Sir Patrick Stewart posts have me wanting to rewatch TNG and eventually watch Picard for the first time…

*Sigh* If you’re gonna use AI to _help_ write e-mails and essays, that’s your choice. Most of us can tell (not from em dashes or whatever, just from general syntax). For the love of all that is holy, delete your fucking prompts when you copy-paste. It’s insulting when you don’t.

Got a call for a survey from the Heritage Foundation. They asked what the most important issue is to me in this election, from three prejudiced options. I said the most important thing was to get the Heritage Foundation out of American politics. They told me to have a nice day.😆

You work out to build muscle or feel good about yourself. I work out so I can look half as good as Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in a black t-shirt. We are not the same.

Happy Weird Racist Obsession With a 15th Century Explorer Who Sucked at Accuracy and, Under the Whitewashed History, Was So Unnecessarily Cruel His Monarchs Disowned Him Day to those who celebrate! Happy Indigenous Peoples Day to everyone else!

Health grifters (degree or not) who yell in grocery stores or lecture restaurant servers or lecture scouts selling cookies at a booth are the same energy as performative evangelicals who start preaching at unwilling captive audiences in airports and trains.

The false dichotomy trying to separate “social issues” from the #economy is a major part of why we are in this position today. #Progressive #SocialIssues

We heard there was some controversy over bringing ☕ to a job interview. Our team has some serious opinions about their beverages that they are bringing with them no matter where they go! #icedcoffee #coffeecontroversy #jobinterview

I made this video a few days too early, but today’s the day. #GoBills, much love to our Canadian brethren, and remember to vote against Donald Trump/MAGA’s nationalist propaganda in November.

#GoBills and down with nationalistic controversy. We are not the president, we’re not anti-Canada. We are #Buffalo.
