Once again @UPS manages to not only bungle an overnight package delivery but their communication and customer service. Wish my business partners would do the same. This just messes up an important deal not patient care. Confirms my decision to move all my business away from them.

I remember when getting a credit card was easy. @CapitalOneBiz has messed up our application and onboarding and provided us with clueless staff and service as well as small windows of a business hrs to give up an hour to work this out. Regretting canceling our @Chase card 4 this

A lady dropped an AirTag in her recycling bin to find out that Houston has collected 250 tons of plastic since 2022 and not recycled any of it.

Today my team sat down with our insurance broker. My health insurance premium for my employees went up 30% for our renewal.

The government cut their pay to me and all doctors by 3.37% this year for the first two months then reduced the cut to 1.66% for the remainder of the year.

I’m tired of paid mouthpieces telling Congress and Americans that doctors are the reason for our high healthcare costs. If you agree with me, share this post and let your friends and colleagues know where the money in healthcare is going.

Hint: it isn’t to doctors

Bridge design for vessel collision. A🧵

The main span of the Francois Scott Key Bridge is 1300 ft. It also has 185 ft of clearance, making this a massive bridge.

This type of bridge is considered complex.

Baltimore is in for a long haul before replacement. Here is why.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel –

I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours.

Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard.

“The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.”

He plots stories on 2 axes:

X: Time
Y: Good fortune / ill fortune

He goes on to say,

“Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.”

Point 1:

Stories have defined patterns.

In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey.

Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world.

Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes.

Each story, he said, fit one of the 8.

Point 2:

Vonnegut says,

“Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.”

To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer.

Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for.

Point 3:

End on a high note.

Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.”

The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it.

It’s called recency bias.

Lift people up and they will love you.

“There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.”

I wrote this with @RobbieCrab. Follow him for lessons on storytelling + fundraising.

And I talk about creative storytelling. Follow @nathanbaugh27 for more like that.

Never used either one, but have heard of them. Also, CRNAs that work with dentist or plastics often moonlight in this area.

Feel better.
