I say his gently, but…
There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

Just think how much better off everyone would be if all the money we spent on wars, tax breaks for the wealthy and corporate welfare was instead spent on improving the lives of the American people
Yet our politicians would rather do anything but make your life better

We are spending $1 trillion every year on the military. That's more than the next NINE nations combined.
Meanwhile, millions lack health care & we have the highest childhood and senior poverty rate of almost any major country.
Congress needs to get its priorities straight.

What are we even doing as an American society when 1 out of 3 people can’t afford their groceries and a mom of 3 has to beg the school janitor to let her have recyclables so she can afford milk for her kids?! Beyond disgusted by billionaires and oligarchs www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/n...

We can work around bad ACIP recommendations as long as the AAP and other professional organizations have our back.
We cannot work with a black box warning. This would mean the end of pediatric covid vaccines for general use.

Similar thing for me and the NICU.
Oh, my kid needs to be transferred within three hours to stay alive? Hold on, let me call around on Christmas Eve for the best price on a condition we haven’t even ID’d yet.
These people are deeply unserious.

Reminds me of that time I needed emergency appendectomy & I was on morphine & the hospital billing guy came to my room to ask me to pay the copay upfront
I was like dude I’m going next door to check the other hospital‘s price also what’s my name again

I am currently on ID consult service. I saw my first severe case of post influenza staphylococcal pneumonia of the season today - very sick patient admitted to the ICU.
Every patient I have seen so far admitted with influenza this week is unvaccinated.

There aren’t many things worse one can imagine than the loss of a child.
But the loss of a child to a vaccine preventable disease is a pain no parent or family should ever have to bear.
Sowing distrust about vaccines, arguably the greatest public health success of all time, is pure evil.

SCIENCE SAVES LIVES.
Overall pediatric cancer survival rate increased from 63% in mid 1970s to 87%‼️between 2015 & 2021.
And this isn’t due to supplements, eating better or avoiding red food dye.
It’s due to science & industry working together to develop & approve therapies!

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

When an attending calls another attending to review a case, direct extensions/cell numbers should be provided. No one (actually, no one ever) should be calling a central number, choosing options, then getting put on hold 🫠

It's the first Friday of the month, which means we've gone 2 months now without a jobs report. For Trump, this is a feature of the shutdown, not a bug, since private surveys show the job market slowing dramatically. But without official data he's able to keep lying about it.
