Got a page from the hospital lost and found this morning. When I called to see what I was missing, they informed me they had a medical student who was lost and looking for me. #meded

Many posts showing up on my X feed rejoicing in the election results. Majority of my Facebook feed thinks our country is now done for. Always interesting to see the reactions on each end of the spectrum after every election and how people handle their emotions.

Is this why she got fired?

How I would describe You Can See Everything: psychological thriller with a narcissistic husband featuring a sane and talented Amanda Seyfried. It’s a must see and Elizabeth Holmes still is trying to make Theranos happen.

Patient in line while we were each voting today asked me to look at their rash. The life of an American physician.

Kalen Deboer showing some South Dakota toughness tonight! #RollTide

Kwik Trip (Kwik Star in SD) has a cult following but for good reason. They treat their employees very well. I have some patients who wouldn’t have had access to certain levels of medical care if they didn’t work there. They also are trying to introduce healthier food options for all. Great company.

From small town South Dakota to the highest paid tight end in the NFL. Tucker Kraft represents our state so well!

It’s not often you pause and hear silence in New York but a few days ago I did just that as the family members of victims held a remembrance walk through the city. You could feel the emotions and ongoing healing that still exists 25 years later. #neverforget

How to fix US Open scheduling: Zverev can play in the middle of the night when we are all asleep. Save the hours when we are all awake for players like Shelton and Alcaraz.

There have been some really insightful stories out in the last year on how Mississippi is improving its test scores. Emphasis on phonics, coaching for teachers, and school accountability were some of the main changes they made. Great example for other states!

Stopped in for the third time this summer to vote in an election in South Dakota. Polling place was absolutely dead. Will be interesting to see what implications voter turnout has in the result of this gubernatorial race and the future of our state.

I have long been a @Delta loyalist but the winds are changing. My last trip with them was one of my worst travel experiences ever. The prices of domestic flights right now are mind boggling.

If someone invites you to Taco Bell right now, they probably are not your friend. #MeanGirls

I hope the employee at our local Target who always tells customers, “have your best day ever”, has her own best day ever.

I like home blood pressure monitoring for patients with hypertension. However, wrist monitors are highly variable and inaccurate. I wish we could ban them and save patients a lot of fears and incorrect measurements!
