“The River House Broke. We Rushed in the River.” The July 4 Texas flooding ripped our Kerr County home from its pillars, pulling us into the water and into the night. Then morning came.

Unfathomable 💔

Maybe next time let’s not elect someone who runs because they’re trying to not go to jail?

Jawdropping.

You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.

This country is unrecognizable.

If we really want to “make America healthy again,” we’d have Medicare for All.

Any clinical significance to amyloid in a pancreatic well-diff neuroendocrine tumor? Assoc with systemic amyloidosis, tx target or anything?
My partner ordered a Congo red on this case and left for me to report, and I can’t find much in the literature.
Do I need to care? 😁

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Did you know?

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

This is oligarchy. This is where we are now, and it’s all fully out in the open. This is where a profound lack of civics education and apathy has dragged us. 😞

Their aim has always been eliminating democracy (aka power with the people) and consolidating that power to themselves, with the sole goal of their own enrichment (and only their own).

This is a superb summary, a 10,000 ft view of exactly what’s happening in this country right now. It’s the culmination of the long game played by a group of very patient, exceptionally wealthy men 😣

Anal canal adenoCA of either type (anal gland vs colorectal) are treated the same - neoadj chemo and then chemoradiation +/- surgery.

Prognosis in anal canal malignancy:
SCC >> adenoCA colorectal phenotype >> adenoCA anal gland phenotype. The latter is very rare compared to either of the others.
