I clicked on your link and saw your app, not to be bossy, but do you want to put a contribution link in a post 🤣? I’d be happy to help amplify to my small network.

I can’t paint my nails worth a darn…but nailed this orange power button for my OSU Beavers-loving FIL’s Thanksgiving present…his first ever smart phone 🤣📲🤳. 🤞🤞🤞 the jitterbug is doable for him! I promised the photos will beat the 10yo flip phone from before he hit his 70s 😉

For all the ultrasound nerds out there, Sports Med docs, primary care peeps interested in the potential, etc...here is a video I made from an US-guided procedure earlier this month. I am thankful for #POCUS as a personal passion and also as a tool that helped me as a patient! youtu.be/NE6YR45fjP4

OK @shematologist.bsky.social it's official, created a #HCWvsHunger team for everyone that doesn't have a team yet and/or ❤️ ultrasound 😀. Team #RestofUs vs Hunger is ready to rock! Will share on LI, IG, X 😱 etc when it kicks off, and appreciate you, @doctorvig.bsky.social and anyone else amplifying!

Feeling the desire to get back to community broadly, so I’m back in action on Blue Sky again! Speaking of blue skies and keeping them that way…is anyone else from #MedBlueSky frustrated by the plastic wrapping on medical journals so they can glue on extra pharma ads?
November 24, 2024 at 12:25 AM
Ok, first post on Bluesky which is apparently also MedSky, hooray! But I was too much of a newbie to make my name correct so @tnicholsmd.bsky.social could find me 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. Anyhoo, will change that now, and thanks for the awesome coffee rec & chat Taylor!!!
