The chart above is not the PQRS of an EKG, it’s a blood glucose spike, followed with a brief hypoglycemic episode. Both events were asymptomatic – I had no idea they happened until I checked continuous glucose monitor readings later. What must have happened is the diet soda I ordered at our favorite beer garden …
In the photograph above, my T-shirt is printed with the proposed transgender pride flag emoji symbol, which was accepted as draft candidate emoji for 2020 in May, 2019.

These wonderful morsels of real food were handcrafted in the Thrive Kitchen at Kaiser Permanente Mission Bay in San Francisco (itself a LEED Platinum building) under the guidance of Chef Linda Shiue, MD (@SpiceBoxTravels).

With gratitude and thanks to colleagues who assisted us.
The proposal and related documents are in the linked blog post.

Combined with a #FoodNotPharma approach, we could end …
Thanks for publishing my photograph, @DCist. It was taken in Washington, DC (of course) after the recent snow. Enjoy. Right on the heels of last weekend’s winter storm, looks like we’re getting another one. Source: Expect More Snow Tonight, And Possibly Slush This Weekend | DCist
