Al-Shifa hospital UPDATE:
Since last night, MSF has not been able to contact its staff inside the hospital.
Other MSF colleagues living in Gaza city reported that the hostilities around Al-Shifa have not stopped.
We are worried for their lives.

This is a reminder that there are night teams and day teams for a reason and if the work you accumulated during the day cannot be finished by time to go then that’s ok! I am here to work! I want to leave on time and I want you to leave on time! #everybodygohome

One of my colleagues wrote about getting a vasectomy recently. His experience is on the left.
Another Vice writer wrote in 2019 about getting her tubes tied. Her experience is on the right.
Brilliant way to conceptualize this, Seth! Absorbing it into my vernacular in: 3…2…1…[slurp noise]. ahhh, refreshing.
nothing magical about IV abx
