I probably would have had two patients die in the last month alone without PubMed. Because of the peer reviewed articles I found on some rare diseases, confirming their diagnosis, and specialized treatment modalities, they are alive. #Medsky

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

So let me get this straight…

Under Hegseth’s leadership, the Army is rolling out a policy that could kick out Black men for razor bumps—a medical condition that disproportionately affects us.

Meanwhile, troops who refused the COVID vaccine? They got waivers. Sympathy. Career protection.

RFKJr. is not a doctor or a scientist, he’s a batshit conspiracy theorist. Pretends to care about children’s health as he undermines access to lifesaving vaccines and ignores the #1 cause of death for children in the US (GUNS) as part an admin hellbent on leaving the planet uninhabitable for future.

Cherokee Nation steps in as Oklahoma passes on Summer EBT Cherokee Nation steps in to feed thousands of Oklahoma children through its Summer EBT program, after the state declines for the third year.

Once again Cherokee Nation and other Oklahoma tribes are having to step in and feed non-Native children because of Kevin Stitt's refusal to accept programs that would help Oklahoma's low-income children. 😡 www.newson6.com/story/680c12...

Critically important article from @katherinejwu.com. Biomedical research in the US (and beyond it) is under siege. Nothing about this is normal or acceptable.

The vaccine can help but only if given within 72 hours of exposure. Symptoms usually show up 11-12 days after exposure,so it's way to late once you're actually sick. See the post exposure prophylaxis section. www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd...

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

A group of black emergency medical technicians from Freedom House are gathered for a group shot in front of an ambulance. Almost all wear white suits.

In 1967, Pittsburgh's inner city produced America’s first EMT service. Comprised solely of Black men and women recruited from the city’s Hill District neighborhood, the paramedics of Freedom House Ambulance became trailblazers in providing pre-hospital and CPR care.

How does one teach Siri medical terminology? I just wrote to a patient that his symptoms were most likely due to a basso bagel response.
