No one should be forced to co-parent with their rapist. Too often, when a sexual assault results in the birth of a child, perpetrators are able to gain parental rights to that child, tying the survivor to their rapist for at least 18 years. California S.B. 1364 would change that, allowing more survivors to terminate their perpetrators' parental rights to keep themselves and their children safe. Thank you to our amazing author @SenatorMenjivar and the Senate Judiciary Committee for passing this bill through committee. Now let's get it scheduled for a floor vote!

1/2 DILUTIONAL THROMBOCYTOPENIA I often hear house staff attribute thrombocytopenia to “dilution.” But this is RARELY the case. True dilutional thrombocytopenia is much less common than dilutional anemia. Why?

CC367. EBUS-TBNA of mediastinal nodes in an old woman with an extra pulmonary known tumor. Rhabdoid cells: abundant, dense cytoplasm occupied by filaments that pushes the nucleus. Discohesive; usually big nucleoli. This is not a melanoma, so think of other "usual rhabdoids"
