What if we lived in a society where people could pursue their passions and not have to worry about basic needs like food or housing?

Instead, the liberal arts are getting defunded all over our country, in favor of more “practical” majors…

A nice thought anyway.

As a patient, I would like to say that modern healthcare’s obsession with “length of stay” is cruel and misguided.

“Black residents training face ⬆️ rates of both remedial interventions & dismissal from their programs than do their White counterparts. This disproportionality raises concern that Black trainees are being overpoliced in medical education.”
