@DrChaeEd @chaedria I have a similar story. The art teachers paid for my yearbook when they found out I couldn’t afford it. Another teacher or admin got me free tickets to prom and a voucher for a tux. And like you, I help others when I can. Freely and without conditions

.@UberEats I just got burned by the app. Apparently you’ve changed the function to NOT automatically adds both items for buy one, get one deals. Before, if you selected a special, it added the required items and proceed to checkout. NOW if makes you manually add it! Hard lesson!

Btw COVID was proven to be airborne bc of THIS WOMAN’s research and the WHO had to completely revise decades of science, she is a HERO, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HER NAME!!! She will be remembered by history and in the future so much about our infrastructure will change bc of her.

It is remarkable how many people have unfollowed me since I took the position that the MCAT is not, by itself, a particularly good metric for medical school admission, that Yale has produced generations of excellent physicians, and that having served on two different medical school admissions committees, I learned something many people outside medicine do not understand:

Test-taking ability is not the same thing as being a good clinician.

The MCAT has value. Of course it does. But medicine is filled with qualities that standardized exams measure poorly: judgment, empathy, communication, leadership, resilience, curiosity, humility, and the ability to care for human beings under stress and uncertainty.

What has also become clear in this debate is how inconsistently people apply the language of “discrimination.” When some groups are historically underrepresented, many simply assume that reflects lesser capability. But when institutions consciously try to broaden representation, suddenly every disparity becomes evidence of unfairness.

And yet in public health, the evidence repeatedly shows that greater physician diversity improves trust, preventive care uptake, underserved access, and health outcomes in many communities.

We see similar benefits in medical education itself. Diverse student bodies produce richer discussions, broader perspectives, and stronger learning environments. That was obvious to anyone who has actually spent time inside a medical school rather than arguing about one on social media.

What I do see in many of these replies is not principled concern about merit. I see a fair amount of racism dressed up as statistical objectivity.

In 1935, two American doctors examined seven women's ovaries and saw small lumps. They called them cysts and named the disease after them. They were wrong. It took 91 years to fix.

What we called PCOS is now Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), announced today in The Lancet by an international panel of doctors and patients. The renaming followed more than a decade of consensus work and 22,000 patient and clinician survey responses.

The lumps Stein and Leventhal saw were never cysts. Modern imaging shows they were follicles, the tiny sacs inside the ovary that grow and release an egg each month, frozen partway through by a hormonal imbalance. PMOS is a multi-system disorder centered in the endocrine system, the body's network of glands that produces hormones like insulin (controls blood sugar), cortisol (the stress hormone), and thyroid hormones (set the body's metabolism). The ovary trouble flows downstream from there.

The naming choice is not academic. When doctors hear "ovary" in a diagnosis, they look at the ovary. "Metabolic" and "endocrine" send them to the whole body.

PMOS affects roughly 1 in 8 women worldwide, more than 170 million people. The WHO estimates 70% have never been diagnosed. Among those who do, 1 in 3 wait more than 2 years, and nearly half see 3 or more doctors first. The CDC reports more than half of women with PMOS develop type 2 diabetes by age 40, a risk 5 to 10 times higher than women without the condition. Around 37% have clinically significant depression, compared with 14% in women without it. Anxiety runs at 42% versus 8.5%.

A label born from a 1935 look at seven ovaries is finally going away. The new diagnostic guidelines roll out fully in 2028. By then, a woman walking into a clinic with these symptoms should hear questions about her blood sugar and her mood alongside her cycle. Those are the parts of the disease the old name hid for 91 years.

@chynnacena Did you notify Uppity? I don’t want to duplicate if you have

In 1877, Southern Democrats agreed to end their filibuster of the contested results of the 1876 election in exchange for the removal of Federal troops from Southern states.

This essentially ended Reconstruction, kicking off Jim Crow.

If corporations allow you to sign up with one click, you should be able to cancel with one click too.

Subscription traps, whether from an app or gym membership, are just another way corporations take advantage of working people. 

We've already put hundreds of companies on notice. This week, we proposed a rule that would make NYC a national leader in cracking down on abusive practices that nickel-and-dime New Yorkers.

If CEOs can write off the private jets and yachts they say are necessary to do their jobs, then their employees should be able to write off the student loans for the college degrees these CEOs say are necessary to have their jobs.
