In the 1996 “Sunchaser”, Harrelson played an oncologist who “learns a valuable lesson in humility & is forced to reexamine his relationship w/medicine”

Likely life won’t imitate art this time.

This is the most shortsighted & ridiculous thing I have seen this week. My husband works at the VAMC and they are already short staffed and struggling to provide care for the veterans and now this???

@drjengunter.bsky.social shared this on other platforms. Just because a doctor sells you something it doesn’t mean it’s safe & effective

Selling supplements is discouraged by the AMA on basis of ethics so that’s red flag right there

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.”

My dad died during the pandemic; we weren't able to visit him in the hospital because of it. Every aspect of that horrible tragedy was real. And exacerbated by Musk’s co-POTUS.

I’m seeing red. 😡

I still hear from patients that some male partners won’t consider vasectomies.

Hopefully this is changing.

Vasectomies are a very effective contraceptive choice and takes the burden off of women.

Since you all seemed to like last week’s 4:30-on-a-Sunday-morning Medthreads post…

I’ve been a doctor for 24 years. Here are three more things we don’t care about (and two things we absolutely DO care about) when you come to the ER

Trust me on number 4…

As a believer in the testing effect and spaced learning, I thought it may be valuable to create a quiz of sorts, posting questions from prior #MedThreads.

Below are 5 questions, followed by an "answer key" with links to the thread that discussed the topic.

I hope you enjoy!

Hopefully we can continue to have leaders that appreciate the actual science behind HIV/AIDS unlike some (RFK) that make up explanations. #nursethreads #medthreads
