Is your Twitter feed filled w/ things you actively dislike or hate?
Probably related to what Twitter has listed as your “interests.” I have no idea how they select these, but mine included lots of people I dislike & have even blocked, like Ben Shapiro. Here’s how to change it 👇🏽 Click on your profile picture Image

Unsolicited advice from a neurosurgeon.

Putting a drain in a newborn's brain after a brain bleed makes everyone sad, and a permanent neurologic deficit or unnecessary death is even worse. Please don't refuse the Vitamin K shot for your newborn.
#vitaminK Vitamin K is natural and is needed by all people for their blood to clot. In utero, babies don't have enough and Vitamin K doesn't cross the placenta, so newborns are deficient. Most will be ok, but a portion of newborns will bleed and even die if they aren't given Vitamin K.
