Last night I had the worst headache of my life. Nearly unbearable. Tried all the OTC meds, acetaminophen, ice pack, none of it working. I gave up & at 3:30 am made myself a cup of coffee & within 20 minutes my headache was gone. #medgrind #coffeeislife
@MSharifpourMD the power of coffee is endless
And no I don't drink too much coffee. I generally have 1-2 small cups of homemade drop coffee a day.
Drip*
Ok yes I should have gone to the ER. I'm a terrible patient.
Update: made a Doctor's appt for Friday

The most awkward situation in urology occurs when a patient who is a few years post vasectomy comes in requesting a repeat semen analysis because their partner just got pregnant & the SA shows zero sperm & the patient is like, "wow I guess the child is a miracle." 😬😵‍💫
Like, I'm not credentialed for that sort of scenario.
These things happen more often than I expected.

My mom went for a post op with the surgeon who did her temporal artery biopsies & he wasn't wearing a mask & my mom was too scared to ask him to put one on. COVID rates are high. We doctors need to be better than this. 🤬
I mean he knows she's on high dose Prednisone and she's in her late 60s. What the F.
I wish I had been there to speak up on her behalf.

I guess I live in a bizzaro America, as I have never owned a gun, noone in my family has ever owned a gun or had any interest in guns. I don't recall ever seeing a gun at any friends house ever. I've never dated anyone with a gun. I never wanted a gun. I really don't get it.
My dad is a nerdy engineer who spent time collecting coding books. My mom want to fashion school & painted & had useless hobbies like beany baby collecting.
My dad grew up in Missouri. Fairly rural. I think he grew up around guns. He was not interested in them at all.

Wow this person really missed the message (starting with the fact that I'm Jewish).... Image
Also when was the last time all Christians were talking about banning laser surgeries? I think that was just me... as satire....
This is the Facebook account but I couldn't respond or report - looks like it might already have been suspended Image

This is a bad take. Timed voiding is highly appropriate in many individuals.
This person is saying that going "just in case," reduces bladder capacity. While attempting to delay voiding for someone with overactive bladder may have a role, going "just in case," does not reduce your bladder capacity.
Sure- don't go pee every 15 minutes just because a bathroom is available - but when ppl say, "go just in case." They generally mean prior to some period when they will not have access to a restroom.

Thinking back to when I was in med school & asked my (male) GYN for an IUD. He told me it wasn't for women like me (No kids not married). I knew he was wrong but didn't feel I could argue. If I had been given that IUD I would not have needed an abortion.
This is why abortion access is critical. The control that is exerted on female bodies- weather overt (rape) or subtle (lack of appropriate contraception education or access) is complex and relentless. The only way we have true autonomy is to control the end result.
That GYN would never have had to pay for my child. He would never have any accountability. That pregnancy would never change his body. Yet that brief appointment fundamentally would have changed the course of MY entire life. We need access to abortion.
