@lightmyway513 @DGlaucomflecken I shared my credentials earlier because I have credentials; my training gives my statements legitimacy.
Yours is a claim to have worked with ophthalmologists.
Our statements shouldn’t be given equal consideration.
@lightmyway513 @DGlaucomflecken Nah.
I just don’t want people viewing this thread thinking every pink eye needs to go to an eye surgeon because some anonymous account on Twitter said so.
Majority of pink doesn’t need to go to any doctor.
@JEFFERSON2049 @ChristianDexy @hankhawthorneii @idestroyed And yet you are totally reliant in the predictive power of scientific advances for your being and expression.
You misunderstand the fact of evolution and you try to justify the most unspeakable cruelty with a facile and unsupported case for a deity.
@ChristianDexy @hankhawthorneii @idestroyed @JEFFERSON2049 Your scrambled thinking has failed to explain why the god you claim to exist would be so vile, cruel, and hugely inconsistent.
What we know is that the universe is a material one.
@MichaelRosenYes Unbelievable. So happy you found this
@ChristianDexy @hankhawthorneii @idestroyed @JEFFERSON2049 Oh dear! Try scrolling up.
@Ninja_Mogglet @BestForBritain This is true!

I just heard these two on @JimmyKimmelLive and it was incredible. Freda Payne is EIGHTY and her phrasing is breathtaking. The video is embedded here. Listen, bookmark, listen more.

@triggerpod @LozzaFox @francisjfoster @KonstantinKisin I guess at least he’s honest that, when it comes to “diversity, equity and inclusion” that he sees these as threats to him and things he doesn’t want taught to children—which, yeah: well QED, “Lozza”, QED
@triggerpod @LozzaFox @francisjfoster @KonstantinKisin PSHE in school according to L Fox:
“skin colour privilege, gender ideology, diversity, equity and inclusion; all of the things you just don’t want kids being taught at a young age when they’re confused as it is”
I mean, what the heck is “skin colour privilege”?
“Gender ideology”?

@thecnner Huh?
@jbouie A 500-year-old statue widely considered one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements, which is in a museum in Florence with a copy standing outside in the piazza, is “controversial.” Florida, man. I dunno.
@blondejerseygrl @justin_hart @Jaytee116James @janmariatalar I believe in informed consent for vaccines!
I'm against MISinformed consent.
@jbouie “We must abandon woke ideas of education and teach the great achievements of classic Western Culture”
*teaches the great achievements of classic Western Culture”
“That’s way too gay, I’m uncomfortable”
the other thing is that it is weird to think that some of these parents are probably younger than me
frankly can't imagine being the kind of parent who would have a stroke at their child seeing a picture of a nude, classical statue
this interview is incredible which is to say, it is absolutely insane https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/03/florida-principal-fired-michelangelo-david-statue.html
Absolutely stunning. And appalling. WATCH: Florida 4th-graders react to battle over school libraries, media centers https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2023/03/23/watch-florida-4th-graders-react-to-battle-over-school-libraries-media-centers/
When a KONA low and a POLAR lobe get married they create a Bomb-Cyclone. Be sure not to miss the wedding next week just off the California Coastline #cawx
A school board chair in Florida forced a principal to resign because she allowed students to see an image of Michelangelo’s ‘David,’ which he claimed some parents objected to on the basis that the statue is “pornographic.” Unreal.
@LColbyco3 A very important point. I also know many kids and adults who are happy on their own or with a single friend.
@DrHowardLiu I think it’s also important for kids to know that it’s ok not to have a friend sometimes too. I was shy too and I actually got used to being alone a lot, but my parents pushed me so hard to be more social that I started to think something was wrong with me!
@Heather14199214 I really enjoyed working with teens when I was a psychiatry resident. I realized that so much of what we deal with as adults starts earlier. And I love the idea that we are always in development - the spirit of child mental health!
@DrHowardLiu May I be so bold as to ask why you chose to become a child psychiatrist?
@DrHowardLiu
@DrHowardLiu The same is true for adults and older adults, especially during life transitions such as retirement, relocation, and deaths.
Sometimes it's about finding new friends. Sometimes it's rediscovering friendships. Sometimes it's becoming their own best friend.
@shrinkrapdinah Definitely an evolving era when many play dates are via video games now! But I suspect there were always lonely kids. I know many kids hold it together in school but also hold the pressure of trauma, neglect, abuse, etc. quietly even when surrounded by peers.
@DrHowardLiu The world has changed so much (& it's not all bad). When I was a child, kids (by age 3) wandered around the neighborhood, went to the playground, played ball in the street, knocked on doors. Children played, there were no 'playdates.' Friendship maybe came more naturally?
My youngest asked, “When did you first have a friend?”
I was a shy kid, so I told him it took a while.
As a child psychiatrist, I know that many kids are lonely.
Teach kids to be kind. To talk to children who don’t have a place to sit at lunch. It can make a big difference.
Which one of you did this?
(Urology appointment to get testosterone)
Urologist: (walks in) “hey how’s it going?”
Me: (laying on the exam table with my bare ass up in the air prepped and draped) “pretty good how are you”
In my 10+ years of co-survivorship, doing life with @DGlaucomflecken through 2 separate cancers, 1 SCA and fighting off his death with 10 mins of #CPR, only ONE (1) of the medical professionals we interacted with has ever asked how I was doing. Meet Roger. https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1giY02p-l5Vhe
A while back I posed a question: If you could request one thing from your hospital admin and they couldn’t say no, what would it be? Well, I relayed your requests to @CALonghurst in our latest episode.

What a fun time I had chatting with @LGlaucomflecken & @DGlaucomflecken, who somehow, mistakenly invited me on their show.

this can’t be the same brain that took step 1
@WestTxWinds Yes, it’s a bad decision, but assuming docs are going to sell, we need to keep them out of organizations that have an enormous impact regarding advocacy. It’s a massive conflict of interest.
@DGlaucomflecken Also have to blame the doc owners. It’s not like PE can force them to sell their practices. The ONLY one’s who come out better are the partners/owners. The rest are miserable. Never seen it turn out well for the other 100-200 people on staff long-term (eye industry).
@ColumbiaPain That’s a good point, those are all important, but we need physician organizations to advocate and lobby and message for us, and I guarantee they won’t do that without data and they won’t try to get data with PE owned physicians on the board, so I don’t know what else to do.
@newyearnewyos Yes thanks for sharing I know there are a few studies, we need more in different specialties. I hope people keep going
@DGlaucomflecken Respectfully, there is data on PE for end of life care that’s particularly damning
https://www.newyorker.com/news/dispatch/when-private-equity-takes-over-a-nursing-home
Doctors are going to sell to PE, that’s not going to stop, but that decision should preclude appointment to leadership positions in organizations which exist to advocate for physicians and patients.
I’m sure you’ll find the same thing in a lot of physician organizations. And remember, often physicians are contractually prohibited from saying bad things about PE after they sell. We need to be able to look at PE acquisitions objectively, so this seems like a big problem.
