It’s wild that police are comfortable pepper spraying protestors sitting in a public park & arresting anyone, but not helping when someone posts my address online & says their thousands of followers should kill me, & somebody actually shows up & asks me how to find Ryan Marino.

This is a true story about posting vaccine facts online.

Fuck antivaxxers.

I can tell a dozen stories about how police have tried to accuse me of things I didn’t do (apparently there were no other “Ryan Marino’s” in Western PA when someone was threatening people with a gun on Facebook) & zero stories of being helped by police when I asked them for help.

For the above story - I was a resident physician at the time and had an officer with a gun come into my home (I owned) with gun unsheathed at 2 am to interrogate me. I showed him that a quick search identified more than 2 dozen Ryan Marinos in the area.

Fuck that noise.

When I needed help I was told that I didn’t deserve it because written death threats and people showing up to my office weren’t crimes. (Reader: they are crimes.)

I may not be the most interesting or smartest or published or have any superlative at all when it comes to #medtwitter.

But I try to be here to share my own narrow field of expertise with everyone because they deserve to hear it.

And I’m not going to stop.

Little do they know I’m CIA
