Outrageous
The #Senate Finance Cmte voted along party lines, 14-13, to forward the nomination of #RFKJr to the full Senate, setting up a vote on whether Kennedy, an #antiVaxxer who threw his anti #vaccines movement behind #Trump’s presidential campaign, should become the nation’s next #health secretary. Senator #BillCassidy, the #Louisiana #Republican & #physician who had been on the fence about Kennedy, cast the deciding vote.
Those of us in the USA need public access to a full and true #report, by a #nonpartisan #physician or nonpartisan #mental #healthcare provider, on the orange one's mental #health issues. And we need unbiased #analysis and #reporting from the nonpartisan #news #media.
#gaza #healthcare #physician #humanity #Palestine #Codepink Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya and hundreds of other medical workers are still being held in Israeli detention.
#Physician-#researchers, I wish you a great 2025. I’m here to help you get your #medical #journal #manuscripts in their best shape so that #reviewers recommend #publication of your articles. Let’s get your research findings out there and help #medicine advance!
Remove
You who remove me from my house
are blind to your past
which never leaves you,
yet you’re no mole
to smell and sense what’s being done
to me now by you.
Now, dilatory, attritional so that the past
is climate change and not a massacre,
so that the present never ends.
But I’m closer to you than you are to yourself
and this, my enemy friend,
is the definition of distance.
Oh don’t be indignant,
watch the video, I’ll send you the link
in which you cleanse me item after limb
thrown into the street to march where
my catastrophe in the present
is still not the size of your past:
is this the wall
you throw your dice against?
I’m speaking etymologically, I’m okay
with the scales tipping your way,
I’m not into that, I have a heart that rots,
resists, and hopes, I have genes,
like yours, that don’t subscribe
to the damage pyramid.
You who remove me from my house
have also evicted my parents
and their parents from theirs.
How is the view from my window?
How does my salt taste?
Shall I condemn myself a little
for you to forgive yourself
in my body? Oh how you love my body,
my body, my house.

#VeteransAffairs IG Michael Missal’s office has shared evidence w/federal prosecutors on the actions of several employees in the #health system, including a #physician & a contractor who spent extended time looking at the #MedicalRecords of #JDVance & #TimWalz, raising investigators’ concerns about their motives.
Like the others, the physician & contractor used their #VA computers to get into the records, mostly from their govt offices.

It's taken me over halfway through #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth to post about my book which tackles themes of #physician #mentalhealth, even though I had grand plans to post daily...
This #bookreview from a medical student meant the world to me
The book is about taking off the blinders, exposing the hidden ugly parts, and choosing to be a healer anyway

If the #nightmare that is this #Tory #Govenment can make life worse each day it will.
A #Fitnote is a #sicknote in which a #medically #trained #physician, usually a #GP provides the #medical reason someone either cannot #work or they need a temporary #adaptation to do their #job. #Tories want to take this #role away from those who know about your #health & can make a #qualified #judgement.

For #InternationalWomensDay a funerary stela of a female #physician. In the Inscription she is referred to as MEDICA. This is not the only #Roman female doctor we know. There is quite a few literary and epigraphic evidence for female physicians in the ancient world.
From Metz, France, dating 2nd/3rd century AD.

Something fascinating about my brain I’ve learned with becoming an author at mid-career level as a physician is that while I can do anything and everything related to medicine while sleep-deprived, because that’s what years of medical training pounds into us, I can only write and be creative when well-rested
I feel like that says a lot about many things but certainly #physician #burnout and #mentalhealth

Study suggests #VirtualCare most effective when it’s with your family doctor | CTV News https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/virtual-care-more-effective-with-your-own-family-doctor-rather-than-an-outside-physician-study-1.6706612
“those who saw their #FamilyDoctor #virtually were less likely to visit the #EmergencyDepartment in the next week, compared to those who had a virtual care visit with a doctor they had never met before.”
"Within an existing and ongoing relationship with a #physician, patients are less likely to go elsewhere for further care.”
