babe wake up your surgery isnβt done yet but we canβt afford anymore anesthesia

The womeninmalefields trend is flipping the script on things said to and about women, including in MedSky, to highlight their absurdity.

The electronic medical record was going to save us tons of time, but then someone decided to put in 7 different ways to order everything and put completely inscrutable names on them.

When insulin was first patented in 1923, the discoverers declined to put their names on it as they felt that insulin belonged to the public.
101 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of price gouging by near-monopoly private insurance corporations and their PBMs.

I think the way #MedTwitter & other profesh X hashtags reached a critical point & triggered a mass exodus to Bluesky deserves to be studied. From an outbreak epidemiology standpoint (& as a newbie ID physician) it was incredible!

In a short time, this shift has effectively transformed BlueSky into the essential hub for breaking medical news and vibrant scientific discourse.
