Misinformation is so dangerous especially if it tries to treat type 1 diabetes without insulin #Endosky

Tweet that says “Blue Cross Blue Shield will no longer cover anesthesia for the full length of certain surgeries in Connecticut, New York, and Missouri. If a surgery exceeds a specific duration, anesthesia costs for the additional time will not be covered.”

babe wake up your surgery isn’t done yet but we can’t afford anymore anesthesia

Woman in scrubs looking down, caption says “He walked in wearing scrubs and introduced himself as the medical student/resident doctor, I ended my phone call saying "hang on the nurse just got here"”

Woman scrubbing at the sink, wearing scrubs, scrub cap, and mask, with caption: “asking him who he had to sleep with to get into medical school and match to residency #womeninmalefields”

The womeninmalefields trend is flipping the script on things said to and about women, including in MedSky, to highlight their absurdity.

If you’re eating something in a hospital and anything falls to the floor, there’s no 5-second rule… it’s gone, man

Screenshot of EPIC EMR showing the different orders that come up for pathology, including: Tissue exam (aka PATHOLOGY) Bl Pathology interpretation only (aka PATHOLOGY) Dermatopathology exam (aka PATHOLOGY) Inpatient consult to pathology Inpatient consult to transfusion medicine (aka pathology) Tissue exam (aka PATHOLOGY) Tissue exam (aka PATHOLOGY)

The electronic medical record was going to save us tons of time, but then someone decided to put in 7 different ways to order everything and put completely inscrutable names on them.

That’s a steal! 🤣

Remembering how the land of the free and the brave was... before Obama.

Endocrinology field starter pack! #Medsky #Endosky

I found MTB’s just now, it’s still there

Hey #Medsky and #Endosky! Medsky's Endocrinology feed now has label support! All you have to do use subscribe to @medsky.social and apply the Endocrinology or Peds Endocrinology label to get your posts sent to this feed!

The endocrinologists starter pack is here! We are small in number but mighty, like the thyroid. #Endosky #Medsky

#Medsky …

These are important medications for diabetes management as well! I have many patients who have gone from uncontrolled to controlled diabetes and some have been able to stop insulin, HTN medications, etc #EndoSky #MedSky

When insulin was first patented in 1923, the discoverers declined to put their names on it as they felt that insulin belonged to the public.

101 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of price gouging by near-monopoly private insurance corporations and their PBMs.

I think the way #MedTwitter & other profesh X hashtags reached a critical point & triggered a mass exodus to Bluesky deserves to be studied. From an outbreak epidemiology standpoint (& as a newbie ID physician) it was incredible!

This is bad. Very bad.

I remember this story when it aired on the news. This part stuck with me: "”Despite extensive review of the risks and benefits of tetanus vaccination by physicians, the family declined the second dose of DTaP and any other recommended immunizations," the doctors wrote.” After all that…

The migration of MedTwitter, along with a large cohort of science journalists, to BlueSky is striking in its scale and rapidity. In a short time, this shift has effectively transformed BlueSky into the essential hub for breaking medical news and vibrant scientific discourse.

I just click “follow all” again and anyone I’m not following yet will get added :)

I’m from 🇨🇦 but practice in the states! Please add me if I qualify :)

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

Any hoteliers who host conferences…

Water needs to be boiling to make tea.

Lemme see if I can group a bunch of the #MedSky starter packs and put them together here, starting off with my favorites, #WomenInMedicine, put together by @drsarahem.bsky.social!
