Had bloodwork done this morning. Some observations from my phlebotomist: 1. Most overused jokes from patients: "Here comes the vampire", "Here comes the bloodsucker", and "Hey, save some for me!" 2. No one likes the phlebotomist.

Endorsement alert! We were given a tall order to help narrow the vote from 13 and recommend Dr. CJ Michaud, Malorie Ninemeier, and Dr. Ed Aboufadel. This also leaves room to hear the forthcoming educators’ picks, your fave incumbent, friend or advocate. Vote by Nov. 8!

Brutal for Gibbs, even more brutal for the women of America that this guy is the new poster child for @GOP.

Ready to vote for women, women’s rights, and voters’ rights in Michigan this November. @HillaryScholten @GovWhitmer @dananessel @JocelynBenson
It’s becoming clearer that one of my life goals is to find all the echo-y stairwells and sing in them.

Thrilled to have gotten to spend the past few days learning from masters of serious illness communication. Doubly thrilled to head out into the world and teach these skills to others. @vitaltalk @hollyby @AmyTrowbridge15 @rabob @DrMoPPC @Cuvie

Shared this with @hollyby but when people ask me to describe the @vitaltalk cohort - I feel like an accomplished college baseball player who just made the pros. 1/2

All of a sudden my fastball doesn’t seem quite as fast and everyone else has an unhittable curveball. Humbled to learn from such skilled communicators and feel freshly motivated to get better. 2/2

My wife has informed me of the insignificance of my accomplishment. I am requesting privacy during this difficult time.

Amen.
Quite an opening line to this statement from the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus:

My son went to the pediatrician this week and his doctor asked how he had been sleeping lately. “Not great since my parents started watching the playoffs.” 🍀

One surefire way to get teenagers to read books that you find objectionable is to tell them that they aren’t allowed to read them. – at Grand Rapids, MI

One downside of raising tech literate children: Realizing that my personal email has been including the text “My Butt” in the sender field for months and I don’t know how to change it. -My Butt – at Grand Rapids, MI

Death doesn't bother me because death is not a failure. Our mortality is 100%. Everybody dies. I do care how patients die, though. This obviously doesn't mean I hope they die. It's the opposite. My focus is "how they live" until the very end.
