Just so we are all clear…this is the *external* jugular vein…not the internal, which is what people refer to as “going for the jugular”, and not what doctors look at when looking for jugular distention…#iykyk

I really want to evangelize that untreated OSA is a huge cause of ED. I bet all the men who think CPAP is unsexy/unmanly would act very differently if they knew…

Let’s not forget most oropharyngeal cancers. People don’t care about cervixes because it’s “only women”. Tell them they will never be able to eat or swallow normally, it’s a different conversation.

The patriots at Normandy, Selma, Seneca Falls and Stonewall. I love it. *That* is the America that I know and love, and that I will fight for. #KamalaHarris

I just can't. Every time I think it can't get worse, it does. The thought that anyone chooses to be LGBTQ bc of social *advantages* lives on another planet. The ugly toxic masculinity never ends. And the hatred and violence won't either unless we send a clear message on Tuesday.

Hi everyone who still follows me, I’m headed over to that new place, where the weather is clear, skies are blue and beautiful. It’s wonderful there and I’ve found so many long lost friends. We need an ENT presence, so join us! I’ll be here infrequently. Love you all.

One of my favorite quotes I heard from an ICU doc in residency: Surgeons say, “don’t just stand there, do something!” and Med docs say, “don’t just stand there, talk about it!” 🤪

Louder for the people in the back: NEVER BUY A MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN. Medicare doesn’t require prior auth! Private insurers do and will find ways to deny things!!!! It is the biggest scam of all time.

This is MY school district. Watch the commentator AFTER this awful woman. What this video doesn’t show is the literally 20 people that stood up to support the trans student, her rights and the law. I’m so proud I live here.

This is either deliberately disingenuous or poster doesn’t know how medical payments work. “amount billed” means nothing. You can bill $1 million if you want. It’s the amount paid and amount you owe. These are pre contracted amounts with the ins co. Billed is totally irrelevant.

I love that the replies to this are people rating the episode, completely missed the point, (obv haven’t played the game but that’s ok). *Sigh*
