I went on a 17 hour Search and Rescue op in the rain yesterday. 12 hours in, the team was complaining about being "gassed" discussing giving up and I was just like 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'm at like 95% and I've been up since 0230. Could not relate at all. Couple thoughts here... 🧵

the fact that you can walk into ~any restaurant in ~any american city and be highly confident you won't get poisoned is an underrated feature of modernity

The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids. They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex." The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️ "Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the  Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.  Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.” They link to MANY studies on their site: doctorsprotectingchildren.or…

A few years ago, I had a cool idea: what if I used Amazon wishlists to get homeless people in Vegas what they needed? I could create lists of things they needed and my followers on social media could buy it and it'd get shipped to my house so I could hand it out.

The teens that’s were seen stealing from the CVS In Southeast was also involved in an assault before near the Monument before heading to the CVS.

In 1963, a brief but significant handshake occurred between President John F. Kennedy and a young Bill Clinton, who was then a delegate at the American Legion Boys Nation program. This encounter, lasting mere seconds, would leave a lasting impact on the teenage Clinton, inspiring him to pursue a life of public service and eventually leading to his own presidency. During that summer, two momentous events took place in Washington D.C. that would shape the course of American history. The first was the March on Washington, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, which called for jobs and economic freedom. The second was the meeting between President Kennedy and the Boys Nation delegates, including a young Bill Clinton. Clinton, who attended a segregated, all-white school in Arkansas but was a progressive Democrat, was one of the few Southern delegates to vote in favor of a resolution supporting civil rights. A month after the Boys Nation event, King and other leaders met again in Washington for the historic March. Clinton later stated that these two events greatly influenced his early life. When President Kennedy met the Boys Nation delegates, Clinton managed to maneuver his way to the front of the crowd to shake hands with the President. Though their interaction was brief, the video and photographs capturing the moment showed Clinton's admiration and awe at meeting one of his political heroes. The impact of this handshake was evident as soon as it happened. On the bus ride back to the dorms, Clinton excitedly talked about the event and shared his aspirations with his fellow delegates. As future Minnesota Congressman Jim Ramstad recalled, Clinton said to him, "Someday, I'm going to have that job."

Why must a college graduate who chose to forgo becoming a farmer be responsible for paying farm subsidies?

This is not new data, but this video came up in my IG feed, which prompted this. Did you know that NG tube placement is consistently rated as the most painful procedure we do in the ED? It has been ranked worse than abscess I&D, fracture reduction, and Foley placement. This is why I always think twice about necessity before ordering one on a non-intubated patient. If I do order one, it's after a cocktail of viscous lidocaine, nebulized lidocaine, and Afrin. annemergmed.com/article/S019… #emergency #emergencymedicine #foamed #science #pain #patient #research #data #armyemdoc #medtwitter
