MAD LIBS TIME!
“oh, look! I’m sitting in my own ___________”

…and LISTENING to my truthful response!

The misogyny is on brand

Oh! I thought that was going to end “was appointed to a top position at HHS”

Washington Heights officer making my love come down

Look, he (finally) grew 🍒!

Umm, beyond our trips to Orlando, don’t we also use planes to urgently ship medicine? and food and cargo and stuff?

💀

The OGs!

Yikes! I’ve been out of the game a long time. I’ll keep looking.
APHA used to be helpful…

To the extent that the information corresponds with what I can glean from NCCN, it is accurate. But the very fact that it was machine written casts doubt, does it not?

WTF

Link? Cite?

I am helping a friend navigate a very serious diagnosis. Today he sent me a long article full of medical terminology.
I’m almost certain that it was written – at least in part – by AI.
It contains no links; no actual news (although it is undated as received)

The “voice” is creepy AF!

The big flaw in Big Pharma's 'patient advocacy' When Big Pharma ties its corporate social responsibility initiatives to patients' needs, too often it veers into theater.

“…projects…designed more for optics than for families.

What patients truly need is not symbolic gestures but better access to care, tools to manage their conditions, and investment in research.”

(former UCSF PIO here) 🙂

YES
with one note: please be all your research — including any “resources“ you share with the doctor — are from scrupulously reliable sources.

Blue on white infographic reads: "BUILDING YOUR MEDICAL TEAM: A PATIENT CHECKLIST." There are seven tips, each with a green checkmark: Describe your daily life clearly: Tell doctors about your pain, fatigue, GI issues, and daily limitations. Use relatable examples: Compare your challenges to things doctors know (like having the flu). Ask trusted doctors for referrals: “Who would you send your own child to?” is a powerful question. Stay focused in appointments: Bring a short, organized list of issues related only to that doctor’s specialty. Share helpful resources: Provide links to articles or presentations. If they’re not interested, consider moving on. Don’t overlook younger doctors: They’re often eager to learn and open-minded. Use your support network: Ask local groups and friends. There are small illustrations including a thermometer, clipboard, doctor, group of people. "www.chronicpainpartners.com" and in the top right corner is a logo for EDS Awareness (Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes).

I request a “crazed” supercut: our peeps receiving academic accolades, helping the poor and demonstrating valor vs tRump’s word salad

Fucking Brilliant

Given how much my stepsister slept around, I’m sure I could be linked to criminals in three

This sounds like a cry for help

After some early 20th C immigrant forebearers, I still have ✡️ family in your region. Sad to hear your assessment.

“…because risking one’s life by crossing the desert to flee from a murderous gang is a far more serious crime than trafficking teenage girls for sex, or manipulating the stock market, or taking huge bribes.“

omg just seeing this…
Verrrrry grateful to the California taxpayers whose generosity provides me with affordable healthcare (as a UC retiree)
But these MAGA mofos make me wanna scream! No, puke. Scream, THEN puke. And cry.

Your sense of humor survived the trauma! We are grateful 🙏🏼

I’m so glad that treatment was effective! 🎉
