One of my all time favorite humans on the planet, past and present. Truly a father-figure unlike any other ❤️

If you are suggesting that a patient didn’t get her anticoagulant “for months” while in the hospital, may I suggest getting off the internet and reading a book or two on how healthcare works. Your ignorance and the itch to gain attention over someone’s death is despicable.

@SpicyUm I am a resident. There’s several weeks I make less than minimum wage if you do the math 😅
