Although vasovagal #syncope (also known as "the simple faint") is the most common autonomic disorder in the world, there is nothing "simple" about a #faint. #MedTwitter
Replying to @DailyMailAU
A US swimmer is lucky to be alive after she fainted while competing at the World Championships and sank to the bottom of the pool in Budapest + Her coach leapt into the water and dragged her back to safety while lifeguards watched on

“Nothing like it on Planet Earth.” The sea around Antarctica is an immense, spinning engine that helps drive the world’s climate. What scientists now see there has them increasingly worried about the future. Brilliant from @henryfountain + @blueshirt nytimes.com/interactive/2021…

I doubt there are any Asian women who haven’t known the effects of being fetishized. Multiple times on assignment, I had to quickly leave after random men shouted crap like “Me love you long time,” that they want a threesome, that they’ve never had an Asian “friend” before.

This week a Thai American was MURDERED, a Viet grandmother was assaulted & a Fillipino American was slashed across the face. Mainstream media does not spotlight our stories. Racism Kills. @CNN @MSNBC @maddowshow @andersoncooper cover us! We are dying to be heard. #justiceforvicha

Great to see @moisesvm's @NYTmag piece about #longcovid today. Now can we talk about #ThePuzzleSolver, @tracieawhite's book about #MECFS? Published by @HachetteUS on Jan 5 and drowned out in the political maelstrom. Editors: I have a piece written & ready to go. DM for details.

One of the few pleasant surprises of the last 12 months is that Arnold Schwarzenegger turns out to be so much better than I thought. Still, I prefer the clips with the miniature donkey.
