@gilesgoat you are now misaligned. To even yourself out, try to lick your other elbow.
#NotADoctor do not follow the above advice
Apropos of nothing, I noticed that from where I'm sitting #pneumothorax – or more specifically #spontaneouspneumothorax – are not exactly trendy topics.
But this happened to me in early May, 2023. It terrified me, it terrified my wife, and while my care team did a good job of getting me on the mend, I had a terrible time getting educated during the ordeal.
If you're on the other end of this, facing it, terrified, and want to ask questions, please ask this patient questions!

In other news, I realized tomorrow will be my dissertation defense anniversary!!! :blobcatsip: it’s wild how time flies, I’ve been a doctor for a year but no, I still can’t give prescriptions, Bob. This will never not be funny, someone actually said this to me when I shared the news of passing my defense on the bird site 😂 oh, Twitter! I don’t miss you AT ALL. #notadoctor #dissertationdefense #aniversario

Ok, hear me out... *Bloodletting*
You got high blood pressure? Let some blood out - say, a gil, maybe - blood pressure goes down.
Sure, it eventually get replenished. But until it does, pressure is lower right? That's why you get light headed when you give blood.
So, if you have high blood pressure, what if you donated blood semi-regularly? Two birds with one stone. Blood banks fill up, and you get a free cookie. Big pharma loses a profit stream.

A friend has #COVID. Their in-law texted the following, unprompted. It's not the stupidity, but the arrogant self-confidence for me.

Aging Tip: At 68 I found myself feeling faint after a hot shower. Sometimes, I wouldn’t feel faint, but weak, like the stuffing had been kicked out of me, and I was sleepy & lethargic for the rest of the day. Then (eureka) I found that if I ate first & hydrated, it was no longer a problem. #NotADoctor #Fainting #Blackout #Dizzy #Elderly #Boomer #Syncope #Seniors

@kendonnelly once I tested positive I didn't test again (except the confirmation PCR). I just counted down the days. I thought there is a chance of testing positive long after you are no longer infectious? #notadoctor
@jankhambrams I don’t know man. Maybe putting food into your body that gets stuck in dishwashers, isn't the best thing for you? #notadoctor
@BlueDouche I can't tell if the woman is Kamala or Dr. Jill Biden. #notadoctor
