Climate change is a myth. The weather is just warming over a really long period of time and sometimes it just happens to rain more or less in some areas and the hurricanes might be a smidge more powerful in terms of measuring things.

Children are not property. Parents have rights but so should kids. There should be laws that protect them from abusive parents.

Here is a primer on tetanus, how it can cause suffering in kids, and how the anti-vaccine activists don’t give a shit.

I live right on the route like 3-4 miles from finish. Always fun and chaotic. Unfortunately can’t be there this year.

I didn’t particularly enjoy having to worry about dying every day while taking care of adult patients decades older than what my training and hospital privileges would imply was appropriate.

Extra vitamin C won’t help you live forever. You pee it out. Normal intake slows aging by preventing death from scurvy though.

You're talking to a veterinarian here.

"But I thought you love pets!"

"If you love dogs, you will save him for free!"

And, yes- it's been a calling for me.

But I still can't pay for all y'alls' pets.

And I can't work for free.

Nor can my staff.

These puzzles reveal a glitch in your thinking Here’s how a mathematical paradox distorts our view of news, safety and statistics

The base rate fallacy is "part mathematical paradox and part cognitive bias" and it has a huge impact on our thinking.

It impacts how we thinking of false positive test results, safety issues, and the value of public health measures.

I have zero interest in watching it. I don’t need that kind of stress in my evenings when I want to relax. Hallmark movies are more my jam at this point in my life.

That’s why I clarified that it shouldn’t have that expectation. People can feel how they feel, of course. But those feelings can also be used by administrators and insurance execs to abuse healthcare professionals.

Don't get me wrong. It can be a great job. But it's a job. It isn't a calling, or at least it shouldn't have that expectation/burden. Healthcare professionals shouldn't be expected to pick up the slack of a crappy system that fails patients.

Doctors, nurses, etc. already "pay for it" every day when they go to work. They pay with time, poor sleep, missed time with family and friends, personal safety, higher suicide rates, dealing with vaccine refusal, abusive patients, absorbing suffering and death, and much more. Fix. The. System.

If you haven't seen it, a patient with diabetes who can't afford care leaves the ED without getting the equipment they need. A chiseled, and shirtless for some reason, doctor says he'll just pay for sending the supplies to the patient's house. The doctor is being glorified for the selfless act.

The "I'll pay for it." scene from the Pitt I'm hearing about is a perfect example of why burnout is prevalent in healthcare. Yes, it's nice when a doctor/nurse "pays for it". But we shouldn't have to. We shouldn't be expected to. We can't "pay" for everything. Fix the system.

I’m getting deja vu. I think we did this discussion before. I see more KD too. Technically every case of KD should be hospitalized while most HSP just see their PCP.
