28.4 million Americans wear Apple Watches. But can they really detect heart problems? A major study analyzed 4,241 people to find out. The results? 94.8% accuracy in spotting atrial fibrillation. Is your smartwatch a lifesaver or just another gadget?🧵
Breaks my heart 💔 My little angel Gracie was rescued from a hoarding situation with 60+ cats. She was so traumatized when she was rescued they thought she was deaf. She’s the best girl in the entire world and loves being the center of attention.
tonight's rescue 😔 this guy has been enduring horrendous living conditions in a hoarder house for his whole life. the owner died 2 months ago and the house is being cleared out, he's been terrified and hiding in a sink cabinet. he's completely shut down, won't even look up
