For Marco Rubio, From a Mother Tonight I laid next to you in your pink bed And stroked your wet hair as you fell asleep. “Mama, do you love me?” You murmured, eyes closed thumb in your mouth. “Yes, of course. Always. My love will always be with you, Bubba.”

I cannot get over the nurse who called the cops when a miscarrying woman in Warren, OH came to the hospital seeking help for her bleeding. Nurses: We are never the cops. Our responsibility is to the patient in front of us and no one else. Your religious beliefs do not apply.

The anti-vax RNs (who I won’t RT) who are getting 🔥 and making these “farewell freedom fighters” videos — You cannot safely perform your job as an RN if you remain unvaccinated. The vax adds a layer of protection for your patients. You had a choice. You made a choice. The end.

According to investigators, the Uvalde shooter likely never shot a gun until the day he used an AR-15 to kill 21 people (19 children!!) in 2.5 minutes. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Please don’t bring your gun to your doctors office for your check up. No one wants it there. You’re making almost everyone in the clinic uncomfortable. You don’t need it. And if you’re doing it to make a statement, you’re a person who shouldn’t have a gun.

You have to be an absolute ghoul to be advocating against the vitamin K shot in newborns. The choice is between a well-tolerated, safe shot or a brain/intestine/organ bleed that will either leave your child forever neurologically impaired or dead. It shouldn’t be hard.

A 7 yo child in my best friend’s neighborhood just died of MIS-C. As of Jan 3 (most recent data) there have been 6,431 cases in kids and 55 deaths. With cases exploding, this number is bound to rise too. It does impact the kids. Let’s be reasonable about protecting them.

"Vitamin"K shot Let’s start with the vitamin K used in the shot itself. Is it a natural form of vitamin K such as would be found in leafy greens (K1) or butter (K2)? No, it is a synthetic vitamin K, generic name phytonadione. Synthetic vitamins should be avoided as they can
