“one doesn’t want to visit the encampment without having police along”

Tell me you know nothing about the folks living there without telling me you know nothing about the folks living there.

A disgraceful and offensive piece of “journalism”

Street Medicine delivers trauma-informed, flexible, patient-centered medical care to unsheltered folks. We try our hardest to meet people where they are (literally and figuratively) and address the unique medical needs of those living without shelter.

A new street outreach pilot program is delivering physicians and social services to some of Rhode Island’s most vulnerable folks in our unhoused population. Hear from the doc on the frontlines and the org that helps connect the dots on today’s episode of Bartholomewtown…

But Moms for Liberty clearly belong in health care making decisions for you and other people’s children 🙄

This iconic graph tracks how rapidly our planet is warming. Yet every time it's shared on Twitter, someone always asks, 'Why does it begin in 1850?'

The answer is simple: it's when we first had enough thermometers to compute a truly representative global temperature average.

Though they initially tried to have me removed from the public seating area, I am here working on behalf of my constituents as best I can given the undemocratic circumstances.

I'm talking to legislators, listening to debate, voting on bills, and fighting for democracy.

I recently gave an interview and got a very basic question that I rarely get asked -

*why* is fentanyl so potent?

I realized that I take it for granted that this is understood, and that's kinda ridiculous! Its development has an interesting history. 1/

As a UW Department of Surgery faculty, I have strong feelings about this tweet.

1) Our UW General Surgery Residents residents are the absolute best and brightest (incoming, current, and alumni) and I am extraordinarily proud of each and every one of them

GUYS. I was about to look at actual statistics gathered systematically across the country, but now I don’t have to since this gentleman doctor saw 20 patients over the last 4 days!

Weird how this site is full of people mocking the queen's death including video of an Irish soccer stadium chanting 'Lizzie's in a box' yet the only person singled out for criticism and outrage was a black female professor whose family was lost to a British sponsored genocide.

Wow. 😧

If y’all read *one* thing today, might I suggest this new article in NEJM?

“The belief that Black people have denser bones, more muscle, or thicker skin led radiologists and technicians to use higher radiation exposure during x-ray procedures.”
