As a physician with health insurance I have just had to move all my personal prescriptions to the Mark Cuban Cost Plus pharmacy cause my copays have become that ridiculous.

Dealing with a major scary new medical problem. As I leave my doc’s office wrestling with the diagnosis I got a call from the company that supplies the supplies for my other chronic problem holding my care hostage till I pay $200. Reading my credit card number out barely able to stand: America!

Feeling like crap since…events… then started taking all my medication and sleeping again and somehow feeling human!

Don’t assume doctors are smart folks.

Thinking about why I, a mere human, did today versus clearly superior robot doctor:

Robodoc: staph aureus bacteremia, cefazolin, echo, beep.

Me: spends 15 mins talking about how dangerous this infection is and how important it is that this patient not leave AMA. I assure him I’ll listen to him.

Just got a CUNY alert a full 17 years after I took one physics class. Put CUNY in charge of all emergency communications.

This applies to all us geriatric residents

Writing a grant application while on hold with Mohela is perhaps the most junior researcher moment I’ve experienced

Yes, as an attending physician I just had spaghetti-Os and a PB&J for dinner

Happy ozempic eve (the night before your next shot when your appetite creeps back a bit and you eat a cookie) to all celebrate

Too good not to share

Just got into it in the comment section of this morning’s ID week session. Demetre noted that “monkeypox” is a racist term and someone commented that that’s a misrepresentation of history. Let me give an example to make this super clear:

Bough a pair of insulated slipper socks; truly living Cancer zodiac euphoria

It’s not fair but I trust native New Yorkers more. They’ve been tested and they’ve passed.

White supremacy. It gets everywhere. It’s like glitter.

One day, when I’m king of the doctors, I will outlaw all meetings over lunch. A meeting over lunch means no lunch. Why do we do this to ourselves??? If the meeting is that important FIND TIME FOR IT DURING WORK HOURS.

I’m hangry. Had a meeting.

We are very productive on Saturdays here

I’m assuming IDtwitter lives on here somewhere? We all know you can only reach a tense detente with ID, not eradication. ID persists and thrives.

Downloaded the Bluesky app. Let’s goooooo. We’re doing this!

Considering all the shenanigans going on in ID right now (new Covid! Domestic Malaria! Vibrio!) going from the edgelord né bird app (never forget) to the sky app was the most stressful thing I did this week
