What an unusual phrase!

Who knew enzymes were such rogues?! 🤣

About fifty years ago, NASA strapped a message in a bottle to a rocket and flung it into the deep dark
It wasn’t supposed to go this far, but it did. Long past its mission, it’s still out there so far away now that a simple hello takes a day to reach it, and another day to hear if it says hello back

Etymology of the day: ‘book’ comes from an ancient root shared by ‘beech’, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. ‘Paper’ comes from ‘papyrus’, and ‘volume’ is from the Latin for a ‘roll’ of parchment.

Happy World Book Day.

All heart failure is NOT the same; and diuretics are NOT always the answer ‼️

In the very wise words of Dr. Frederik Verbrugge - "Elevated cardiac filling pressures and fluid overload are both important, yet grossly different features of acute decompensated heart failure."

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

I always enjoy reading @johnlauner.bsky.social’s writing in the @bmj.com.

Some important reflections on how private medicine (and dentistry) sometimes work.

I too had a recent consultation with an endodontologist. We also agreed to leave well alone!
