Why can't I dismiss it?!?

Our robot overlords are here and deeply irritating.

Feel like most policies got reset during COVID & it feels like there hasn't been enough of a push to set them back—at my workplace or when I was visiting for a family surgery, where they called us in for (predictable) sundowning but wouldn't let us stay to prevent it.

See if this link works?

It's a lovely piece that gets into the challenges of CPR (esp in the critically ill) & talking about CPR with patients and families. Doesn't feel so much that it's making an argument as contextualizing for non-MDs.

The brutal procedure can save lives, but only in particular cases. Why has it become a default treatment?

Don't forget iconic 👑 Desiree & her galaxy outfit*!

*Initially wrote galaxy pants, then realized this can be Britishly misconstrued, then galaxy trousers which felt wrong, then realized there was a jacket & sighed in relief

Sounded like stress/anxiety of residency & practice were overwhelming? Relatable, & not going to argue that residency doesn't suck, but tough to think that becoming US Surgeon General is LESS stressful... & the antivax wellness grift should be disqualifying.

Have been recommending books on "how we got here" history like The Poison Squad by @deborahb.bsky.social & Pox by Michael Willrich to as many skeptical family/friends as I can... but if COVID didn't convince them on vaccines, not sure what will.

Hoping that there may be a cycle back as people encounter grossly unsafe food, poisoned water, & rampant infectious diseases that led to the creation of our current system in the first place—but with current misinformation, I'm not confident.

& frankly hoping we don't have to get to that point...

As someone whose family members and patients often have significant hearing impairment, hard co-sign -- help us all be entertained together!

Looks like a DNS issue but may indicate someone is messing about in the network.

Regarding #NIH websites, including #RePORTER, #PubMed, #NCBI, being down:
- This appears to be due to an issue with domain-name lookup. The websites are up, the lookup is (partially) broken
- It could be caused by a denial-of-service attack or a misonfiguration

🧵 with explanation and workaround:
