I knew my boyfriend’s mom really liked me when she volunteered to pick me up from the airport a few months after we started dating. A true gem 🥹

[Moe @Mochievous]

Airport pickups are such a show of love. Doesn’t matter if it is romantic or platonic. Anyone who picks you up from the airport that you aren’t paying to do so, actually loves you.

One of the bleakest things I’ve seen in medicine was during my pediatric oncology rotation in 2019; the doctors were discussing which kids could afford to wait a little longer between chemo sessions because there was a shortage of three different chemo drugs and we had to ration.

I spoke with a pharmacist once after my patient was told her prescription was never sent to the pharmacy and was advised by the pharmacy to call her provider. He said, “Yeah that’s something we say when we’re busy or haven’t gotten to their prescription yet.”

[mel ✌︎('◡')✌︎ @_MelUhKnee_]

Often you have to prescribe a drug/treatment that you and the insurance company both know won’t work, just so you can prove that the patient “failed” the treatment preferred by the insurance, and then they may agree to pay (and they never pay 100%) for what the patient needs.
