We emptied all the frozen veggies from the freezer into a massive Tupperware, along with the rest of the chicken burgers cut up, the last of a bag of rice, the rest of the Japanese barbecue sauce and are calling it meal prep for the week (well, the first few days).

Something that caused significant stress for a patient this week.
Instructions: Take 1000 mg of acetaminophen every 8 hours.
Patient sent home with 325 mg acetaminophen tablets, without further explanation.
Just little things that we don’t think about. 🤷🏻♀️

I quickly corrected myself but we had a nice little chuckle about it.

There was more to it, but more or less boiled down to this.

Petition to bring back the Snuggie.
Just saw a patient who had one with cuffed sleeves and everything. THIS is the kind of energy we need in 2025.

Donald Trump could literally rape a ten-year-old on live TV and his supporters would not wane in their devotion, yet he and the rest of the GOP continually stall and deflect from releasing the Epstein files. This tells me that what is in those files is unimaginably worse than we think.

Our service rotates attendings every week.
Next week attending texts me today:
“Hey, do you have a zucchini bread recipe? Also, clean that shit up before the weekend” referring to the service/board.

Walked by a sign in the hospital today that said “is it time for hospice?”
Me. Out loud. “Yup”
I am OVER. IT. (I’m fine, just the chronic existential dread)

So excited to hear Dr. Mike (@pediacast.bsky.social) speak at #AAP2025. Speaking about online health information and AI.
Only 1% of healthcare professionals create online content. I’m proud to be one of those! It’s vital since so much of the population consumes health content online.

Getting lost on a trail while jamming to 90’s/00’s grunge/rap/hip hop is what my mind and body needed today.

day 1 of the War of Portland: I sit in the trenches (of my yard) with coffee. We all got flu shots today, then I drove by a protest with senior citizens holding signs and playing music. There was honking; impending domestic terror? I listen for sounds of antifa in the distance. Might go for a run.
