As we approach the holidays, if you're thinking about making a diabetes joke, here's a tip: don't.
Diabetes isn't caused by food and eating dessert or rich food won't give you diabetes.

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

40 million Americans may go hungry in November because their SNAP funding is at risk.
40 million people at a time when most are already struggling to put food on the table.
Trump just gave 40 billion to Argentina.
That could feed every American.
That could easily fund SNAP.
America first?

Hello Zosyn, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because bacteria softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the infection that was planted in my foot
Still remains

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.

For all newcomers - you're probably aware of the classic Twitter account @joeldongsteen - account that used to retweet that evangelical grifter Joel Osteen's tweets replacing "God" with "Your dick."
In its honor I recreated that account here. Enjoy.

In difficult times, more than ever, you need to have a battle cry of faith. Create a sound of victory. “Yes, this problem is big, but I know my dick is bigger.”

Q for medsky, especially ID & pharm
1) If you do Unasyn via central line for outpatient treatment, how do you schedule & administer?
I'm confused by an order for q6hr IV infusion via gravity for self administration (6,12,6,12) as realistic for a 6 week course
(1/2)

Today, Epic alerted that I was allergic to the med being prescribed
I have 0 med allergies, so it was especially bizarre that there was also a 2nd med allergy listed
It was annoying for us, but VERY alarming that a patient with those allergies might not have them documented in THEIR chart

It's Trans Day of Remembrance and we're all miserable, so why not watch this video of a guy serenading his pizza in Klingon?

Hello MedSky ppl
Does anyone know in an actual QUANTITATIVE measure what the benefits of hyperbaric o2 therapy are for wound healing?
If there is research on comparison BETWEEN protocols/schedules?
E.g.I'm hearing "we do daily 4-5x/wk & if pts are non-compliant w/that exactly it won't work"

If I'm being asked to participate in your research, especially unpaid, the least you can do is not require that I misgender myself throughout
If being cis is part of the inclusion criteria then have the guts to say it before wasting my time

deep space 9 is incredible because it’s about what if a shitty strip mall was an ancient religious site and also the pentagon
My body is not a temple its a deep space station occupying both a strategically pivotal location and also near an actual (celestial) temple.
