According to Tom Waits, during the #CivilWar a bullet went through a man's testicles and then lodged in the uterus of a woman 100 meters away and she got pregnant. If Tom says it is true, then it is. #history #medhum

Inaprovaline is a godsend. #MedHum

It's #SmallPressMonth. I looked up how one defines that and it seems to mean a publisher making 50 million dollars or less a year. I'm pretty sure @HopkinsPress qualifies, so do check out their list and see if there's something you'd like to buy! #litstudies, #medhum

Good article on the language health care providers use, especially good for those who have been told their pregnancy was “geriatric” or their uterus “hostile.” #medhum https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/01/geriatric-pregnancy-old-outdated-medical-terms/672834/

Such a joy to be part of this series. Shame is not something we always feel empowered to talk about, and yet it's so powerful when we do. Here's to sharing our stories. @thenocturnists@twitter.com #MedHum #narrativemedicine https://twitter.com/alvarezzzy/status/1613359313191579649

#ADRCs (there are 33 Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers in the US) do amazing scientific and clinical work. Many have extraordinary outreach programs. #neurologist Bruce Miller of #UCSF and I have had a chance to talk about our #litstudies and #medhum collaboration with #UWisconsin. Most recently we spoke at #UMich. Here is a youtube link to our presentation. We talked about #stigma, representations of #dementia, #empathy, #grief, #caregiving, et al. #EndAlz.

They just don't make cold medicine like they used to. Feeling unwell? Why not pop down to the pharmacy for some Pelikan's. Some alcohol, heroin & chloroform will fix your right up. It's the "best and safest cough remedy" on the market!

In #Canada I would qualify for medically assisted suicide under their new MAID laws. Here in the U.S. I am expected to just tolerate it all. What no one even bothers to understand. There is no such thing as me finding peace of mind in this world.

I would need to get Canadian citizenship, but that takes money I don't have and have no way of getting. Don't tell me Canada is not the promise land. (yes, I know all the details of getting citizenship. I've studied them thoroughly)

I've lived like this for 25 years now. I think I've paid my dues. I deserve to die with dignity. There are not too many people who could live for one year as I have for 25.
