Washington, like 4 other states (CO, HI, OR UT) is a mail ONLY ballot state - and has been so since 2011. Before that, all but one county has done mail only since 2005.

Between 2004 and 2010 in Washington, there were SEVEN documented cases of vote-by-mail fraud.

The concerns here are non-existent

I had an 84 year old patient the other day

I asked how she was doing

She replied F*%K

ME: OK, short and to the point, and I get it.

The Marsh Family with their usual great response has a nice little song about #RFKjr #antivax #vaccines #MedSky
Here's a short happy-go-lucky 🎶 parody about the way that
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now collapsing American healthcare - based off #PaulSimon's toe-tapping "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard".

It's called: "Measles and Polio Down in the Schoolyard."

This is worth sharing
We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

The kids had a hoot as all I had was a 85 - 150mm zoom with me when we saw these magnificent animals on our drive, so I did a very slow crawl for about 30 minutes to get a good shot

After struggling with a task due to everyone being fatigued, one of our staff supported the other with the saying: There is no "I" in Team

I reminded them there is an "I" in Diet Coke and there is some here if they need one

While I got a groan for the Dad Joke, someone came and took a Diet Coke

Today I commented my dad jokes we really landing

One of my MAs remarked "You mean Granddad jokes?"

That seemed intentional to me ... but I landed the next one:

I haven’t read this since college, but revisiting it seemed appropriate in these times

I have two hours of commuting daily, so an audio book works for me

My least favorite patient today:

I like the guy generally but as we left the room he asked how I was doing, so I told him "Great!"

He followed up with "Yeah, us older folk need to stick together"
