Allowing ICE in hospitals is a public health catastrophe in the making Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making, writes Eric Reinhart.

As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky

I still listen to GeriPal because there’s not an equivalent I’ve found for our field, but I’ve held a healthy amount of skepticism since he started posting his covid takes.

Hit the limit on my #Hospice & #PalliativeCare starter pack w/ 150 people.

If you haven't checked recently, you may want to follow all (or be choosy, it's up to you).

There may be enough that I can split up the starter packs by discipline. Another day! #hapc #medsky

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

Sundays are for watering plants, cuddling pups, and painting my nails. I love seeing all the pets of medsky.

One of the most beautiful and heartwarming experiences of my life. A collective experience of girlhood. Wear sparkles and 13s and friendship bracelets and anything that brings joy. Era or song specific outfits are fun not not required. Bonus: crowd traditions to look up ahead of time 🫶
