To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important.
We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

You still have your family.
You still have your friends.
You still have your work.
You still have your passions.
You still have your diversions.
You still have the capacity to feel joy, and the means of doing so.
You still have your mind, which is and will always be yours alone.
And you still have the ability, no matter how difficult it may seem, to choose to carry on with your life, and spend the one and only existence you will get for all eternity in as loving, fulfilling, and authentic a way as you possibly can.

(9/9) I look at those pictures and anchor to the knowledge that my friends and family know I love them with every fiber of my being.
Only a few fleeting suicidal thoughts lately.
I love all of you.🥰💖🦄🔥🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🦸🏽♂️✊🏽

A few reasons why I’ve been late to see patients:
A child’s cancer relapsed, family devastated
An adolescent expressed suicidal intent
A child with life threatening anaphylaxis
Things that have never been the reason I was late:
Eating bon bons
Not valuing patients time

Insurance companies have weaponized the prior authorization process, reports this @nytimes video op-ed
This delays or stops care
1 in 3 doctors assert such delays have caused death or harm to patients
Doctors’ offices have to hire staff purely to handle prior authorization battles

Airlines shouldn't make you pay *extra* to sit next to your child.
It's a pure money grab and you're blaming the victim.

Medicaid in NY suddenly decided all stable OUD patients on buprenorphine and a BZO now need a PRIOR AUTH.
It's a great way to destabilize a person with a co-occuring trauma history!
