disguised as a bad girl, RPh

That's all I need, but I almost never work in a hospital.

...an even uglier truth is that a capitalist society, where people need to work long hours to survive, where they MUST focus on work or get fired, where they may not get a lunch break, where weight loss by any means necessary is "healthy"...is the perfect storm for widespread meth use. /🧵

...the uglier truth is that it is still approved by the FDA to treat refractory narcolepsy. I've dispensed it a few times. It's a legit medicine. As always, the dose makes the poison. Speaking of which: meth is nowhere near as dangerous in an overdose as are cocaine and opioids. Deaths are rare, and

Here's the REAL ugly truth about meth:

It's an effective antidepressant.

It's effective for short-term weight loss.

It's effective for ADHD.

Because of its effects on the ability to focus, it distracts from, and thus appears to alleviate, chronic pain, the pain no one wants to treat.

And...🧵

Oh, I've read it a few times and that line absolutely crossed my mind, I was originally going to add it myself!

This was a response to "Always follow your own doctor’s orders, not some drug addicts recommendations." And my point was that "some drug addicts" *are* doctors. RFK Jr is not a bad person because he used drugs, he's a bad person because he's destroying American health care.

I worked alongside a big fan of Avril Lavigne and seriously considered clawing out my eardrums.

Do you know how common SUDs are among physicians?

Are you asking if it's a requirement to get the degree, or a requirement for a job? I didn't attend any as a student, and as I've mostly worked in retail, very few emergencies there.

I probably shouldn't, as it will likely remind me of the time I had to give my partner CPR.

My legs in black and white marled tights

I 🤍🖤🤍 these tights, they look like tv static.

Colchicine is a terrible, and easy, drug to overdose.

What am I doing in the shower that's as gross as reusing tp?

"I'm On Fire" is right there....

Basically the same issue as cloth diapers. Sorry, no, for that we're using plastic.

Yes. Do you know the difference between drying off after showering and wiping your ass?

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

TIL galantamine has a synergistic effect with atropine in treating organophosphate poisoning, the opposite of what you'd expect from a cholinesterase inhibitor. It's also 100% natural, produced by several flowers, including snowdrops and daffodils. 🤓

How dare you, Bobson Dugnutt was the greatest shortstop of his time.

I don't poop in the shower, and I hope no one does.

Oh HELL no, definitely not doing that.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently trashy about not having money. It's the fact that he could easily afford something better.

Yes, I assume that's common knowledge at this point. I'm just remarking that he not only wears cheap cufflinks, and lies about them, but will gift them to other people, and that's tacky.

I'll take chemicals over wiping my "hooha" with E. coli, thanks.

Welp, we have RFK Jr as secretary of HHS, so there's the disease side.

I've been in trailers in podunk Louisiana swamps that were more elegantly decorated. Money can't buy class, and apparently being the president can't buy it, either. Gross.

Omg I didn't even notice that. Yikes.

Trump is absolute trash, and I say that from my second-hand couch in my manufactured house. I'm kind of curious if he intended to give away those cufflinks, or if he just wears cheap shit all the time. Platinum plating and cubic zirconia aren't that expensive.

One thing I love about J is he's extremely knowledgeable in a field where I'm not at all, so I can always ask him questions and he gets to explain stuff. And vice versa, as he knows as much about drugs as I know about cars. A step or two above the average schmuck, and curious.

#AvianAugust2025 day 6 is 'Apapane! So hard to spot near the volcano summit, I rely on listening for their sad otherworldly calls. That's really the best I can describe it. #SciArt #NatureArt #wildlifeArt #BirdArt #needlefelted #FiberArt #birds #Hawaii

Someone arguing that hunting is good for animals.

And serial killers who understand the ecosystem are good for the human population and keep it in balance.
