@rustyrockets - @realpatchadams has a few things to say about #peace, #healthcare, #resiliency during the pandemic, & how #Hollywood bent him over. His global #humanitarian life saving, joy-inspiring work of 50 yrs gets little mention while others make bank for midriff shots😲

Wow, thank you @lendinggrace for connecting me with @splathaircolor. The first time I colored my hair blue was for the film based on my life. Wow, that was over 20 years ago! #patchadams #medicine #clowningandcaring

Self-medication and self-care can mean a lot of things, but usually it should include surrounding yourself with good friends, loved ones, exercising, and eating healthy! It also usually means getting plenty of rest and having a good work-life balance! 🥰youtube.com/watch?v=yi-rhAAY…

Always have a LONG and FRIENDLY conversation with your doctor about any chronic pain. While drugs like opioids can be a solution for some, never assume that this is the only path! youtube.com/watch?v=IIys5C3f…

Happy May Day! As I discuss Chronic Pain from a medical perspective, I'm reminded again that so much societal pain could go away if we can get organized and fight for progressive change! youtube.com/watch?v=wPP5Ptx6…

In the midst of a global pandemic, it's more important now than ever that the US lifts its sanctions against Iran so medical supplies can come through. Read more from Vira Ameli, Public Health expert, about how the sanctions have worsened the pandemic: newleftreview.org/issues/II1…
