Omg.
My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

So far there have been three measles deaths in under six weeks in the ongoing US measles outbreak.
Prior to this year there had only been three measles deaths in the United States in total in the entire last thirty years.

I just have to shout into the void that patient safety incident investigations are so additionally traumatic for families who've already been through the worst. I'm so drained with being promised reports that don't arrive-and communication about their absence I have to instigate.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

When I joined an ambulance service 20 years ago there were 8 women in our recruit class of 32. Last week I taught a new group of first years and had 70% female students. I'm excited about the evolution of Paramedicine given our traditional gender bias. Demographic change brings structural change.
