I take care of damaged lungs and two tiny humans. ICU/ILD doc at UNC. I clearly don’t speak for UNC.
I, like many, feel very uncomfortable with California's Prop 50 and similar measures across the country. Reminder: the Supreme Court had a chance to tackle gerrymandering with math and they ignored it. "Sociological gobbledygook" according to Roberts. Elections matter!

Want to fix gerrymandering? Then the Supreme Court needs to listen to mathematicians
Supreme Court justices have previously called statistical methods of measuring partisan gerrymandering 'sociological gobbledygook' and 'a bunch of baloney.'

I dunno, sniping at each other on social media seems pretty petty to me? Who the hell thinks this is “what masculine men” do?

I took years and years of French in high school and college. Today I finally used it translating the French in that one Bluey episode. My daughters think I'm a genius lololol

Suffered a needle stick in a code.
In our ED waiting room, per protocol since it’s a weekend, to be evaluated. It’s been a long while, have to go back to work, and numerous staff have referred to me as Mr. Callahan (I’m wearing scrubs and a laniard indicating I’m an attending here).

this guy is a world class asshole
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

A Second Child Dies of Measles in Texas
It is the second confirmed measles death in the U.S. in a decade. If the outbreak continues at the current pace, the nation may lose its “elimination” status.

Maybe we can give kids those candy cigarettes we used to get when going to the barber shop? 🚬

Yea, I see you emailing me about poster modifications for the upcoming pulm/crit conference. Yes, I see that you need input. But it’s also Saturday morning, I’m on the clinician educator track, my coffee time is precious, and I’m going on a 2 hour run. See my thoughts Monday.

ILD nerds of BlueSky: I want to do a trial in IPF where patients get an antifibrotic and low-dose pred (like 10mg). Instead of the “PANTHER 2” trial we can call it the “KITTY CAT” trial. Only half joking. Will work on how to make the acronym work.
