Creatives, don’t just make up medical nonsense for your story.

15% of your audience works in healthcare.

Unrealistic portrayals make your characters and story lose credibility… AND can cause real life harm to any real life people who believe it

Taking the kids to Disneyland for the first time

Our hotel room is full of photos of Disneyland throughout the years, including this one

This, un, suggestive dwarf must have been one of the dwarves cut from the final draft

TWO patients declined my recommendations last night because they were worried about the cost

One of them was uninsured and declined a CT scan of her neck after her ex-boyfriend tried to strangle her

Someone else assaulted her, but she couldnt afford to care for herself

@valerioschiti.bsky.social captain america stands for so many things. I think it’s important that he does NOT stand for “America,” thus an iconic canadian could reasonably wield the shield

Seriously, let’s work together to make sure your project doesn’t suck because of an easily-correctable detail

Sorry, Bsky friends, for I have sinned. It’s been 10 days since my last writing tips post.

Getting killed in the ED and at home.

Let me know if there are any medical topics you’d like me to touch on for your projects!

Quick Shot: SKIN GLUE

Your character can look like a bad @$$ by glueing their own wounds together

Make sure they don’t glue a gaping wound or something that obviously needs stitches

BONUS: They can glue calluses on their fingers/hands

The coolest part of an 18-inning world series?

For one night only, social media was completely free of the doom and gloom of news headlines

Me: You want to out something on tv that makes you happy and not sad?

Wife: You don’t want me to keep watching videos of Reagan speeches on the internet and crying?

Me: I, too, mourn for the politics of yore

The Roman Republic fell when the State started rallying around individual politicians

125 years before Caesar, the last politician with a powerful cult of personality was tried for corruption and went into exile

Caesar didn’t. And the Republic fell.

History Lesson:

In the Roman Republic, elected officials held a one-year term limit. They had almost complete immunity

This could be extended through some military commands

Sketchy politicians started doing everything they could to maintain power/immunity…until the Republic fell to a Dictatorship

Quick Shot: WHIPPETS

Looking for a unique kind of substance abuse for your character?

Whippets are inhaled nitrous oxide (NO). It gives a quick high that’s not seen on drug screens

BUT, it has SERIOUS consequences
- dropped lung
- anemia
- PERMANENT numbness/weakness

My patient turned 100 YEARS OLD at midnight.

So cool.

CAESAR: PRIEST of JUPITER

Andor x HBO's Rome

His name is the most famous name in history.

His legacy has been romanticized for centuries, but few know his true story.

Reexploring the Fall of the Roman Republic through the lens of Science Fiction.

Caesar is coming...

For those of you under the yoke of COX internet:

We finally got fiberoptic in my neighborhood, and their monopoly of terror is over

Now, they are calling me DAILY with offers of 60% off my prior bill

Medical Movie Review: DONNIE DARKO

Awesome movie, but let’s talk about mental health

- He was obviously intelligent and chosen to save the world

BUT even though he MIGHT have underlying schizophrenia, calling it out in a deeply troubled character only adds to the stigma of it

Republicans have clearly abdicated their self-titled mantle as the party of:

- States’ Rights
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Family Values
- Accountability
- Jesus

Which leaves them ONE thing they still stand for:

Guns

They are the party of guns

and pedophiles
