20yrs as a Family Physician working with the underserved. Healthcare is a right. I’ll always talk about ADHD, my multiple hobbies, or single-payer healthcare. Horses and books are my sanity. Proud🇵🇷

Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus.
Vaccination is the gold standard for protection.
However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.

I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.
No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.
I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

This storm system is a bombogenetic cyclone; its rapid strengthening will allow it to suck in lots of air, driving strong inward winds and making the clash of the air masses more dramatic.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Yup, primary all of them until they call for Schumer’s ousting as leader.
Of course he knew! They think they were being cute with the shuffling of the chairs so retiring Senators and those not up in 2026 were the ones that voted for it.
He thinks we’re all idiots.

What they need to learn from Mamdani is that if you actually listen to your constituents, commit to fighting for them and their needs vs. selling out to corporate interests and the oligarchs, you can take on anybody.

I feel bad for my colleagues who can’t do the very basic OB care I do automatically every day. I’ve got strong family ties to Iowa but I’d rather fly thousands of miles ti work every month than work in a state where there are abortion restrictions.
The laws have put doctors under increasing pressure, complicating the standard medical treatments for miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, premature membrane rupture, and other pregnancy problems. These laws are driving much-needed doctors from certain states.

Iowa doesn't have enough OB-GYNs. Is the state's abortion ban part of the problem?
Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame.
