Selection of My Twitter Favorites, Edition 5

Twitter is a microblogging service where people answer the question "What are you doing?" via 140-character messages from their cellphone, laptop or desktop. You can select the messages you find useful, amusing, or both. Here is the 5th edition of My Twitter Favorites (the oldest post is at the bottom, the newest at the top):

Graham Walker
grahamwalker Feels like the most combative and altered hypoglycemics turn out to be the nicest folks once you get glucose in'em.
Robert Scoble
Scobleizer I always find it interesting which videos get traffic. The ones I think are important rarely get the most views at http://www.fastcompany.tv
Fat Doctor
FatDoctor Now officially allergic to the word "maverick". Somebody gimme an epipen.

Brad Wright
progressnotes In response to a reader's comment, I just calculated how much salt is in the blood: about 4 teaspoons.
Graham Walker
grahamwalker Hopes his new cough isn't due to the nursing home patient with resistant pneumonia who hacked up a lung in his face.
ruraldoctoring
ruraldoctoring RN reports pt told her: "The doctor told me I could die any minute." What I said was, he would probably not survive 12 months.
Steve Rubel
steverubel I'm taking my iPhone, Moleskine and pen to Starbucks to dream up some big ideas.
ruraldoctoring
ruraldoctoring 14/17 notes written, 16/17 patients seen, despair has converted to resignation.
ruraldoctoring
ruraldoctoring I just met a woman whose neck is wider than the circumference of her head around the temples. This should be diagnostic of sleep apnea.
ruraldoctoring
ruraldoctoring Sometimes I answer so many questions about patients BEFORE I see them that I begin to think I have ALREADY seen them when I haven't.
ruraldoctoring
ruraldoctoring I confess, I like my coffee stand-a-spoon-up strength. I like the liquid to be almost opaque. When I add creamer, it should turn taupe.
Vijay
scanman You know you're spending too much time on twitter when you start thinking of friends names with a prepended @
John Battelle
johnbattelle England fell, Rome fell, and I love those places still...
John Battelle
johnbattelle I mean, what else are you going to do? I watched an alcoholic escorted to a cab, with her child, and thought...it's going to get worse.
John Battelle
johnbattelle Is anyone else feeling like the world is coming to an end and we all feel fine?
