“The government can’t tell me to wear a mask!” Do you wear a seatbelt? Do you put your kids in car seats? Do you obey traffic laws? (Mostly) Do you smoke in public areas? These are public safety issues. It’s about protecting others. It’s a society. Not anarchy.

Dear doctors, Please tell your patients with the flu that they likely will not feel better for at LEAST a few days. I’m tired of seeing patients in the ER that were “diagnosed with flu yesterday and I don’t feel better”

I’m watching the staff shuck oysters while drinking at the bar and just waiting for the inevitable laceration... This is how ER docs see the world. All accidents waiting to happen. All. The. Time.

As a man in a competitive surgical speciality who has endured serious turmoil over his “Take a knee” politics, I think we should approach @eugenegu behavior with compassion and tolerance and search for a solution mutually beneficial...😂😂😂 Just kidding. Fuck that shitbag.

@jtylerconway I was trying to poke lighthearted fun at your awkward choice of analogy. Not mocking polio victims.

If we are going to run medicine like a service industry, I’m going to put tip jars out. Want your pain medicine or nausea medicine a little quicker? Fill that jar. M Wanna move to the front of the CT line? See that jar?....

. @RVAwonk I'm not familiar with any court decisions that include "eating shit" as a settlement. Also not sure why your looks matter.

When dating nurses, one must be prepared for them to fixate on the good veins in your hand & forearm…even during the most intimate moments… It could be that you’re just not doing a good enough job to distract them. But remember, they also might find those veins very sexy. 🤷🏼‍♂️
