Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
I thought the Guilford CT #handsoff protest would be me and some aging hippies (which is why I showed up- I love aging hippies), but the ENTIRE town was there! On a 48 degree rainy day. I ❤️ you, Guilford!
Child’s drawing of a growth chart with the words “need mowr food”!
I think my son took his well-child visit to heart.
I have been known to say “the disease formerly known as Wegener’s, but no longer known as that because he was a Nazi”
Snuck in a little normalization of drug use message in there. Hope you enjoy @emmabiegacki.bsky.social @drkimsue.bsky.social @ryanmarino.bsky.social @drnataliestahl.bsky.social
All ready for today’s protest! @womensmarch.bsky.social
So many protests, so little time….

Saving this for when ICE tries to come in my clinic.
Anecdote from this week:
Patient arrives with severe hypertension, ashamed that she’s been off her meds, almost didn’t show up to her appointment.
My nurse rooming her: “don’t worry! She’ll meet you where you’re at!”
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for all the wonderful, patient-centered nurses out there!
I’m going to make this an account to focus on #patientcenteredcare and #harmreduction! (Because if I do any more #doomscrolling I will combust.)
These are some solid puns!
Feeling extra ragey towards private #insurance companies today (more than baseline!) after an oxycodone denial… that was part of a TAPER! Do they realize they are forcing patients into #opioid withdrawal? do they care?
Improved #medicare4all now please.
Deaths by firearms in kids. See if you can spot how America is exceptional.
Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids.
Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?
