Im a doctor without my own primary care.

My doctor resigned abruptly when mask mandates were dropped. (Prescient)

His replacement is on indefinite medical leave.

Their replacement is now also on 6 weeks medical leave.

Everyone in Charge of medi$ine in the U.S. couldnt run a lemonade stand.

The cascade effect is real.

Millenials having "little to no loyalty in the workplace" is a sign of progress, not concern, you fucking deliberately obtuse coercive capitalist fucks.

Probably single handedly have shunted about 80 patients away from Walgreens pharmacies since their anti-abortion policy.

Its not much but its honest work.

We knew by April 2021 covid is thrombogenic, vasculitic, multitropic, and able to directly & indirectly wreak havoc in/on the brain.

We knew by February 2020!! it had this potential via ACE2 binding.

Self-care is radical in an age of surging fascism.

Wear a mask. You are your brain.

OK Doomer: Heat Index in Brazil Hits 137F (58.5C)

It's official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There's already reports of power outages. People can't work. They can't run errands. They can barely sleep. It's not even summer there yet

So basically if the Chevron Deference is overturned, we become an 1850s country again.

Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, Asbestos, PM2.5 on steroids, Chlorofluorocarbons destroying the Ozone, polluted waters, fungal illnesses, the return of tB and measles.

Overturning Chevron is a worse coup than anyone clearly is currently imagining.

It affirms the end of the post-Gilded Age governance.

It's intended to enslave and kill 300million.

All these takes seem to misdiagnose the mainstream media outlets as

"getting played"

when its plain as day they are actually captured megaphones for the same wealthy interests running these campaigns-- Ackman, Thiel, Koch, etc.

Can we grow the fuck up and stop giving mainstream media a fucking pass?

Theyre not the duped innocent.

The most appropriate equivalent of Capitalism is cancer.

1. Directly Invasive
2. Resource theft
3. Competitive escalation without regard for sustainability
4. Growth hungry
5. Enabled by Regulatory defects (mutated Suppressor Genes or Discarded Anti-Trust laws and Taxation policies)
6. Kills complex systems it colonizes
7. Metastasizes to colonize other vulnerable systems

Every now and then I think its important to remind all that Jack Dorsey likes, respects, and agrees with Elon Musk about nearly everything.

Yearly reminder to #MaskUp.

March 2020 an asshole private practice dick was trying to force me to see patients in person despite a history of clots, asthma, and pulmonary infarction just years earlier.

I refused, got an ADA excuse from my doctor.

Still "did my job."

Saw patients virtually without issue.

That attending was 43yo & went in.

He didnt live to see 44.

He died after #COVID19 & probable Covid-induced myocarditis.

Otherwise healthy before all that.

I bought 6 tanks of gas for 2023.

For reference, in February 2020 I bought 8 tanks alone.

Legitimate medical advice:

Stay home if you are fucking sick.

Unionize and fight for paid sick leave if your counterargument is financially driven.

OK Doomer:

"Meanwhile, Philadelphia has started a program where teenagers are teaching high school. Yep, high schoolers are teaching now. The local news station says it's how they're dealing with their teacher shortage.

They're hoping it goes nationwide.

That's life now. Teenagers are working in meat packing plants and construction sites. They're waiting tables and serving beer. They're working the fast food jobs nobody else wants."

At the clinic and its 100% sounding like a Tuberculosis ward.

Sounds like covid everywhere.

Sad I forgot my sunglasses but cant be perfect I guess.

I am the ONLY asshole masked -- no other patient or staff in sight wearing one.

And I enter the employee doors so I've got a fair sample size.

Holy fuck what is going on.

My favorite part of fucked up society in 2023 is I cant tell if patients are DELUSIONAL because we actually are a surveillance state.

And I cant tell if their PFAS preoccupation is pathological, because they are correct that that shit is in everything and is likely very harmful.

#MentalHealth care is almost impossible in an insane, fascist, unsafe world.

As of 9/6/2023, there have been at least 1.13 million U.S. deaths due to #Covid19, with an excess death total of approximately 1.27 million additional fatalities.

In terms of 9/11s, COVID19 represents 377 to 801 9/11s occurring.

And I see nobody acknowledging those deaths in the "mainstream."

This isnt coping. Its denying & erasure.

Today I had to write:

"No, I dont think the patient is feigning, making up, or exaggerating about her mother dying from double negative breast cancer with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer herself confirmed in the pathology report You have access to. Do you?"

On Disability paperwork.

American Labor and Disability laws are fucking repugnant.

You dont want to listen to me,

you think maskers are preachy,

you dont like me,

you find me obnoxious,

GREAT.

ME TOO.

I hate the sound of my own voice.

So we agree.

So #WearAMask anyway because #CDC is not trustworthy.

Stay home 5 days or longer.

Because #COVID19 is not over.

Every day includes at least one new harrowing example of how this is Plague Times.

Yesterday it was Kawasakis being missed, increasing the fatality rate for this girl from 2-3% to 50/50 chance of making it to 6 years old.

Today, I was simply given notice that the patient had to cancel after a 6mo wait to see me because their recurrent respiratory illnesses wont go away.

If its weighing on me, its weighing on primary care docs, nurses, etc.

Please wear a mask.

Climate Change anthropocide (read: democide by oligarchs) will not be televised & acknowledged by the transnational right wing lib/anarcho caps, auth caps, or their neoliberal enablers for that matter.

They'll buy up any capacity for giving voice to and acknowledging such, poison the wells, and turn proletariat against proletariat, to continue stealing from everyone else.

"Oh Dr. 《So and So》? Yeah I dont see him for therapy anymore. He got COVID and his brain no longer works right. He cant really remember much of what we talk about."

Quote from today.

Another PhD with 12+ years postgrad education disabled & in a cascading manner no longer available for patients because the majority chooses to infect with impunity.

Virofascist fucks.

Keep it up, Immoral Majority.

I can only conclude that the CDC is seeking to thin the herd and kill off immunocompromised & elderly and a large percentage of otherwise vulnerable people.

So, on brand for how CDC was depicted by AIDS advocates.

Always listen to the advocates/activists.

MUST READ:

Bernie Steinberg in the Harvard Crimson:

"Let me speak plainly: It is not antisemitic to demand justice for all Palestinians living in their ancestral lands.

The activists who employ this language, and the politics of liberation, are sincere people; their cause is a legitimate and important movement dissenting against the brutal treatment of Palestinians that has been ongoing for 75 years. "
