The thing about dementia? A total lack of filter will keep manifesting.

Opinion | The danger of letting a mystic lead public health A look at Casey Means shows the weakness of her nomination and the surgeon general position itself.

Serious question: Should the Surgeon General be someone who never finished residency, doesn’t hold an active medical license, built a career as a wellness influencer, has supplement ties, and has written about using psilocybin (magic mushrooms)?

And this is supposed to be America’s “top doctor”? 1/

The president of the United States, folks.😕

Surely all who condemned the Charlie Kirk reaction will condemn Trump for this. Right? (cc: @MarshaBlackburn )

This is true. 🧪

No meeting/no plan and no safety for the patients still stuck in our "death zones."

To those who call me partisan: This isn't about team jerseys... it’s about competence. When docs beg for help and govt won’t even sit at the table...

Good time to remind everyone that NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, a right-wing economist, has made it a personal goal to make sure lockdowns can never return.

Because in his mind, there is nothing that could ever justify shutting down the economy.

Jay Bhattacharya wearing the face tats of a convicted rapist for his “eat more veggies” campaign. V normal.

Let’s remember to thank all the EBM gurus and “medical conservatives” who elevated MAHA to power.

Cancelled RCTs is their legacy.

Another Bari Weiss MAGA infomercial.

Very happy to share this Feb commentary in @lancetgastrohep.bsky.social co-authored w @mayoclinic.org #IBD Dr. Edward V. Loftus Jr. - making our case for an urgent repositioning of #microscopiccolitis under the "true" #IBD umbrella - long overdue for this disease.

This is absolutely worth a read if you missed it the first time.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

REP. BALINT: “This is not a game, Secretary!”

BONDI: “I’m Attorney General.”

REP. BALINT: “My apologies. I couldn’t tell.” 🔥

“He’s my first born,” Susan Pretti said. “He’s the one that made me a mother. There was no reason he should have died that day.”

“No,” her husband said.

Just lovely - in this weekend's @theglobeandmail.com. Makes me think of a term one of my wise friends and teachers used to talk about - bi-directional healing. We most definitely get something out of those extra efforts too.
