It’s amazing how different an outcome our kids have than us because of being supported and proud instead of punished, shamed and left to figure it out on our own. It’s been healing for me to watch my ND grow up into adulthood.

Warning to 🇺🇸 women: around the time they first floated the #Tylenol theory of #autism, they also said it might be epidurals. I know because I was desperately trying to figure out if I’d caused my son’s autism at the time. (Spoiler: it was having an autistic mom) #MAHA may come for epidurals next

I've just sat for ages in the garden, camera on its tripod, patiently waiting for a break in the clouds to catch the first supermoon of the year. It didn't disappoint!

A crystal clear picture of a full supermoon.

High dose IVIG cured my and my kids long COVID brain fog which is consistent with this research

This would explain why IVIG cured my long COVID brain fog c. 2020. Glad I didn’t wait for the research though.

The utter lack of response to Dobbs in 2022 didn’t tip you off? When we didn’t take to the streets and burn it all down to stop them forcing ten year olds to carry their father’s babies and talking about giving doctors the death penalty? Minimum a couple decades before an actual resistance exists

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

I’m a physician and still get treated this way. I thought at some point it would stop. Even though I’m atop the hierarchy, because I don’t believe in it and treat everyone equally, I’m not seen as being atop the hierarchy. It’s weird. I’ll never get it.

I don’t miss America but I do miss the idea of America. I miss what I thought America could be when I was younger if we fought hard enough. Maybe it’s more grief than missing it.

American doctors are putting themselves out of jobs

🇨🇦 The witch in the house on the cliff by the sea 🇨🇦 @dobbsemigree.bsky.social · 4d

I’m a doc who used to live in the US and tried to get in with a psychiatrist I’d known since fricking residency and couldn’t get past the wall of NPs. She was nice but she looked to be about 12 and expected me to tell her what to prescribe. They are churning out inexperienced NPs to make money.

My malpractice instance in the US was 7 TIMES what it is here in 3. I got zero weeks paid maternity leave in the US and know my kids will get a year here 4. My prescriptions are a fraction of what they cost in the US 5. I haven’t had to do a prior auth or refuse to see a patient for lack of coverage

So as an American doctor who moved to Canada, I feel I am qualified to speak on this. I do pay somewhat higher taxes here (mainly Nova Scotia sales tax TBH which I knew was getting myself into) but I am *happy* to do so for the social safety net. Also: 1. My health insurance in the US was $1K/mo

My kids have had long COVID since March 2020. It’s gotten more attention than their PANS/PANDAS because it affects adults but it’s still not great.
