Can America learn?

The Red Cross is explicitly allowing blood donations for people with hemochromatosis

Did you know this?

Apparently, this policy was updated late 2023 and was long overdue

VA health care outperforms non-VA care in two independent, nationwide quality and patient satisfaction reviews VA hospitals outperformed non-VA hospitals in two major independent, nationwide reviews for patient satisfaction and care quality.

I watched a video today by Sec #DougCollins about the #VAcuts planned. From a quick search there is evidence that the #VA is doing better than 2019. Not sure how cutting around 80,000 jobs to get back to 2019 numbers is going to continue that. It probably won't. #veterans

This was super easy to do, and telehealth is so important

The hubs got pulled onstage at Zumanity in Vegas. I nearly die laughing every time I come across the pictures!

Itching sucks

If your patient with PBC is suffering from itch, it is time to kick it up a notch

There are too many options these days to let people continue scratching themselves sick

Blocking out some time first thing Monday morning for phone calls to my senators and representatives ((202) 224-3121 ), and the Ukrainian embassy ((202) 349-2920). They all need to know how we feel.

When I think I can’t be more horrified, then find out that I can.

What a nice testament to how people feel about you and your Mom. It’s so nice to see people get back some of the good they put out into the world! Happy birthday!

I’m so sorry. As a former military brat, I’m so grateful for your service to our country and the kids and families of those who also serve. Heartbroken for you and our country

This shouldn’t have happened but I’m afraid we are going to see more and more of preventable diseases. Vaccines work.

We lost a very dear friend to appendiceal cancer. Funding cancer research is so important.

If you can’t reach your reps/senators in DC, try their local offices.

Every. Day.

And, if their DC voicemails are full, try their local offices

I’ve been thinking of you. Sending you strength

We’ve got Levoit 200s and 300 HEPA filters. They’re very quiet on low, and I like I can control the smart version remotely. I think the last one was only about $60 on Amazon recently

Our beagle has a huge paper fetish. Paper towels, paper bags, he’s not picky, and we are often picking up scraps of paper/scolding him. Our friend/dog sitter gave him a crinkle chicken in a gift bag with tissue paper. It was the most adorable thing to watch him delight in the gift and the paper! 🎄🐶🎄

Oh no!

The average lifespan was 35 and 50% of people died before they were 2.

Is what they did.

You forget your words when you leave the hospital room.

Your patient might remember them forever.

Yowza! So glad y’all went in to get the shots!

Your struggles are valid and real without you needing to invalidate the struggles of others

Adorable beagle in the backseat giving side eye

On the road again! He slept the first 3 hours, now is giving me the side eye because I didn’t let him go INSIDE Whataburger, and he also didn’t get to EAT any Whataburger. (Nobody needs a dog with diarrhea on a road trip!)
