      My thanks to both @eugenegu and @aholdenj for rising above my wrath and speaking to me like adults. Neither had to do that, and both of them did. This was a reality check for me. I think I needed it badly.

      Yes. After speaking to her, I deleted a couple of rather colourful tweets that I took too far. Then she made me regret that decision.

      Speaking with her? How'd that come about?

      Here, I meant. After I toned it down and apologised she DMed me and made it seem she was willing to listen to what I (and all the other docs) had to say, but it was a ruse.

      Ah, well, I blocked her after she blocked me. That's my policy. You block me, and I'll be damned if I let you see my subsequent Tweets. I know that with most people it doesn't matter because they'll never check, but a few do.

      What I learned that Marty Makary is a consultant on her show, and she claims he loves it. I know you're familiar with Marty's work, and that explains why she keeps throwing out that "third leading cause of death" nonsense.

      That explains a lot. Here's my take on Makary's crap.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/are-medical-errors-really-the-third-most-common-cause-of-death-in-the-u-s/ …

          I not only read that, I cited it in my blog about her pilot episode.

          I didn't see the pilot of #TheResident when it aired, but all the discussion online led me to watch it on demand. The first four minutes, with a patient undergoing an appy exsanguinating in less than a minute and then everyone colluding to cover it up told me how bad the show is.
