PSA: Azaleas are blooming, and are HIGHLY TOXIC TO DOGS AND CATS.
Some puppies can’t resist the colorful blossoms. Some puppies are resting after puking in the car on the way to the vet hospital. Some puppies need to thank their lucky stars and @melhathnofury.bsky.social.

Mo’s coming home! Still don’t know why he’s not eating and is peeing frequently. Maybe liver or parathyroid? The good news is the heart disease is probably secondary to those symptoms, and we caught it early enough that meds will likely help a lot!
The Very Good Boy remains a medical mystery.

what they are saying is that the ultra wealthy don't seem to care that everyone thinks they look grotesque and hideous following facial surgery, as long as everyone knows that their hideousness is only accessible to a select few. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/3….

So excited to be ordered by my employer to pay an extra $100/month fee for my spouse to be on my health insurance.
(Esp since those with stay-at-home spouses don’t have to. Staff who are paid less than I and could even less survive on 1 income are prob even more excited to subsidize them.)

How can a surgeon confuse a liver for a spleen, killing a patient in the process? Thomas Shaknovsky wants us to believe that’s what happened, but as a surgeon who’s taken out many spleens and parts of livers, that absolutely is not a thing that can happen accidentally. So what actually happened?

Episode 31 is live! A surgeon and anesthesiologist dissect (pun intended) that time when a surgeon was supposed to remove a patient’s spleen and instead removed his liver, killing the patient. What was his explanation? What did the staff in the room say? How could this possibly happen?

Everyone should pay attention to this. Antivaxxers are trying to force you to get another preventable disease and they are better funded than ever. They already got one Lyme vaccine pulled from market with the same tactics of straight-up lying, & climate change keeps making Lyme a much wider problem
Anna Merlan @annamerlan.bsky.social
NEW: I wrote about the ways that Lyme disease conspiracy theories are re-emerging, spurred by a rumor about “boxes of ticks,” an as-yet unreleased vaccine, and the people currently running our government www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When was the last time we paused at the bedside?
In the latest SGIM Forum, Drs. Merchant and Rotter reflect on why bedside rounds still matter—where presence, teaching, and connection shape learning and care.

One of the cornerstones of misinformation is miscalculating the risk assessment of an adverse reaction that might be 1:100,000. Meanwhile, if you get that disease, there’s a 20% chance of pneumonia.
It’s basic math parents:
Vaccines save lives. The adverse reactions are rare.
