It's been a long time since I've been on, and well, it's been ..busy to say the least. There's a lot I could get into about my personal life, but honestly, compared to what's happening with the dump that's in the white house with the not elected Nazi... well.

I just wanted to give an idea. Use ChatGPT to pen your emails for your congressmen and senators with your concerns. Here's the one it spit out for me.

Subject: Urgent Concerns Over Constitutional Violations, Public Health, Government Integrity, and Reproductive Rights

Dear [Senator's Name],

I am writing to express my deep concern over recent actions by Donald Trump and Elon Musk that have serious constitutional implications, undermine public health, threaten government transparency, and endanger reproductive rights.

First, President Trump’s recent executive order to freeze $3 trillion in federal grants and loans has caused widespread disruption, particularly in healthcare and education. While a federal judge has temporarily blocked the order, this attempt to unilaterally control congressionally allocated funds raises grave constitutional concerns regarding the separation of powers.

Additionally, the appointment of Mr. Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency has resulted in disturbing actions that compromise government integrity. Reports indicate that Musk’s aides have restricted civil servants’ access to key government systems containing sensitive public health and security data. This reckless move endangers cybersecurity, disrupts essential services, and undermines the accountability and transparency required in a democratic government.

I am also alarmed by the recent firings of multiple Inspectors General. These independent watchdogs play a critical role in holding our government accountable. Removing them without cause erodes oversight mechanisms and sets a dangerous precedent for unchecked executive power. Congress must take immediate action to protect these critical positions from politically motivated purges.

Furthermore, the growing public health crisis posed by the avian flu outbreak demands urgent attention. Reports suggest that the CDC’s ability to respond has been weakened by budget constraints and political interference. Public health decisions must be guided by science, not politics. Any efforts to undermine the CDC’s authority or obstruct disease prevention measures put millions of Americans at unnecessary risk.

In addition, I strongly oppose the national abortion ban that has recently been introduced. The ability to make personal healthcare decisions must remain a fundamental right, and such a ban would violate bodily autonomy, disproportionately harm marginalized communities, and set back decades of progress in reproductive rights. I urge you to do everything in your power to prevent this unconstitutional overreach.

Finally, the recent tragic mid-air collision near Washington’s Reagan National Airport, which claimed 67 lives, has been met with deeply concerning rhetoric. President Trump’s baseless blame on policies like diversity hiring and the Americans with Disabilities Act—without evidence—demonstrates a dangerous pattern of scapegoating rather than focusing on facts and solutions. This kind of rhetoric is divisive and distracts from the need for a thorough, unbiased investigation into the accident.

These issues raise profound concerns about constitutional violations, public safety, government transparency, and individual rights. I urge you to investigate these matters and take decisive action to uphold our Constitution, protect public health, and defend fundamental freedoms.

Thank you for your time and commitment to our democracy. I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

I am so sad that the majority of the united states felt that re electing this orange cartoon, who clearly was only campaigning to get a get out of jail card, was a better alternative.

I am at a loss of words and hope.

[randommomentsdevida]

After avoiding it since the beginning of the pandemic, covid finally caught up with me.

I feel like crap

[randommomentsdevida]

Neurosurgery told me today that I used a lot of big words

Like

Cephalad

And caudal

And distal

[randommomentsdevida]

Fellowship candidate: What's something you wish you knew before starting fellowship?

Me: Uhh... I wish I knew there was going to be a pandemic...

[randommomentsdevida]

Attending: If you could be any kind of doctor, what would you want to be?

Me: Retired

[randommomentsdevida]

Today....

There was a dollar bill taped to my patient's abdomen.

[randommomentsdevida]

Omg please no I can't do another surge. I'm so done.

[randommomentsdevida]

My attending told me I’m not allowed to take a shot for every contaminated blood culture I see...

Rude

[randommomentsdevida]

I'm just trying to figure out why my food is still frozen thank you

[randommomentsdevida]

I’m so tired of COVID. 

Apparently my subconscious was also done because, in my sleep, I unplugged my phone and ran out the battery so the alarm wouldn’t go off in the morning. 

I can’t keep doing 10+ consults daily. 

I’m so tired of these young people who are sick and coming to the hospital. 

We have tocilizumab to a 33 yo this past weekend. 

33. 

He literally went from room air to vent to possible ecmo in 12 hours. 

I can’t. 

[randommomentsdevida]

Lol! Zombie team!

And yea ours was broken for awhile...

Lol true. Sure was nice about it. I'm just dumb

I like these thoughts.. Hm

Lol they weren't! That's what I was expecting though! I would show them but they have the hospital name stamped on it.

[randommomentsdevida]

Lol I scored so bad on the infectious disease ITE. But like, I got the number, but I don’t know what it means. I just know it’s bad because my attending was like..umm, don’t feel bad. 

But like ok. Let’s be☀️🌠 real ☀️🌠

I don’t know what you were expecting when 99% of our didactics are on FUCKING COVID (which likely won’t be on our boards). If that’s all we talk about, how am I supposed to do well? 

And like, because of FUCKING COVID, my class missed out on a lot of the introductory lectures. 

I know SHIT about HIV because my clinic preceptor was supposed to retire, but then didn’t and still gives no fucks about teaching. He just wants to leave. 

We’re also rounding to 5/6/7 at night and I still have notes to do and thanks to FUCKING COVID, I have to shower every night before I might spread FUCKING COVID to my cats. So when am I supposed to read when I’m on service?

Although, there might be some pluses. Apparently, I did so bad that my PD is glad I’m not doing a ton of research projects (read: none). So maybe I can just not do none. Yea? 

Also, frustratingly, he said that maybe more service might help.... HOW?! ALL WE SEE IS FUCKING COVID. Also, all the areas that I scored fine in are...

SURGERY AND CRITICAL CARE, HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED INFECTIONS, AND BACTERIAL INFECTIONS. I don’t think more service is gonna help with anything else because it’s all FUCKING COVID, AND SURGERY AND ICU AND HEALTHCARE ASSOCIATED SHIT. 

Also, I’m a TERRIBLE test taker. 

So yes. Please improve our didactics and take some responsibility for not giving direction and giving shit-tastic didactics. 

Thanks.
