So many little gems of copypasta gold in here.

We don't use ECMO in Vet med usually...too expensive.

Give me the directions and I can run any machine...I guarantee you that. ECMO is a machine. A vent is a machine. I ran high speed envelope folding machines in college. I guarantee you they were more complex.

I am not arrogant, I am self assured. I don't ever claim to be able to something I am not sure I am capable of.

This is a surgeon mentality and I am, at heart, a surgeon. Others ALWAYS consider surgeons arrogant...they cannot stand our self assurance....they are jealous of our conviction. You cannot be a surgeon and be weak minded...things die.

To be fair, the complexity is less in the ecmo part than the dying human part

People were trying to source home ecmo because they were anti-intubation and thought it was simple.

She said envelope folding machine, not postage machine, but with people this multifaceted I’d be shocked if she couldn’t help regardless.

*Envelope machine to vent

I definitely remember the envelope matching to vent comparison because I had her looking up vent manuals trying to convince me

The United States gives approximately 6.6 million doses of MMR per year. Each single dose vial contains 1.76 grams of glass, rubber, and aluminum. Add another 3 grams each for the syringe and needle.

This one change will add 62.8 metric tons of SHARPS BIOHAZARD WASTE per year.

The MMR shot is safe and effective, and there is no credible evidence otherwise.

Breaking MMR into three shots means 3x more copays at the doctor’s office, 3x more hours of missed work, 3x more bummed out kiddos, and probably more than 3x as many kids who aren’t fully vaccinated.

I don’t think market forces should have much, if any, say in things like basic education and healthcare. At least not at the point of consumption.

I blocked that person who made the slut comment, so now the 🧵 is broken…but to wrap up my end…I don’t really believe in pure sys. I think people get really anchored on labels when in reality the healthiest approach will always be a mix.

It probably feels amazing, and now I’m envious of a snake, so thanks for that 😤

A country that produces both trillionaires & hungry ignorant children is deeply, deeply fucked up. It will never stop making me sad that this isn’t intuitively obvious, but we are indoctrinated as 🇺🇸 to accept suffering we see right beside us as both natural and a palatable price for our own comfort.

Dude you proposed a corrupt thief as a hero. Stop and think about that for a second and how it reflects on your unconscious biases and assumptions before blithely blowing it off. You could learn something, start deconstructing.
