LESS CHARTING!!!
A Neurologist should not be clicking clicking clicking last BM, last meal etc. Physicians have NO TIME for PATIENTS with all of the insane charting that is never finished and extends to nights and weekends of senseless charting! Then they choose LEVEL of visit due to complexity BUT then the software decides the visit was a different level and the reimbursement goes down.
Why are physicians the ONLY profession where they make less with each year that passes as reimbursement is constantly cut coupled with insane inflation??? Meanwhile CIGNA CEO et al are clocking tens of millions in bonus’.
It’s mid July & for those of you in training, you’ll have many teachers this year. Some will challenge you in ways that make you better. Others will speak from ego, exhaustion, or their own unresolved pain.
Remember to carefully choose the ones who get to shape your inner voice.
The problem isn’t that our Constitution is lacking; the problem is that the people chosen to uphold it are lacking.
These are desperate times, but a Convention to modify the Constitution is a desperate measure that absolves those responsible for our decline.
To incoming interns:
- You belong.
- You deserve to be here.
- The learning curve is steep.
- Give yourself grace during this transition.
To all other physicians:
- Be kind to incoming interns.
- Their learning curve is steep.
- Be patient and take the time to teach them.
- Don’t forget there was a time when you were an intern.
I wish more patients knew their doctors can’t even start looking at messages until after clinical care is done. So we stay after work & stay up late to answer messages, even though we don’t get paid this work. We care about you & try our best but can’t always respond right away.
Today is my last first day of school.
In June 2027, I’ll become the first Black man to graduate from Indiana University’s Triple Board Residency Program.
The accomplishment is meaningful.
The journey to get here is even more meaningful.

As we end the week, we want to flash back to our football camp!
We thank all those who made it a success—coaches, players, volunteers, and supporters—your dedication made this camp memorable for our student-athletes and inspire the next generation of VIKINGS! @PCC_FOOTBALL
ER doctors are entrusted with neurologic, cardiac, infectious, psychiatric, trauma, abdominal, pediatric emergencies and more. If you trust us on all that - trust us that vaccination is safe, effective and has saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years.
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
That dude that just stole home! Armani Guzman...
That's the same kid who hit .053 his freshman year and was a role player. A Swiss Army knife for his club.
He always had the speed tool. Freshman year they used him mainly as a pinch runner. 1 for 19 at the dish. Most guys would have transferred or quit. He went to a summer league, made adjustments, only hit .248, but came back more prepared.
2025, back on the bench again. Hadn't started in 30 days. Coach noticed two pinch-hit singles in a blowout loss and put him back in the lineup.
He didn't try to do too much, he just contributed. Trust was being built.
About a year ago in the regionals, he hit a walk-off sacrifice fly. Then 4-for-5 with the go-ahead RBI in the 8th. The 2025 Regional MVP batted 9th.
His coach said it best.
"His mentality has been so spot on. You want to talk about a confident guy that's not arrogant. He is in such a strong place competing right now that he knows he'll have success." Coach Sabins, 2025
He wasn't confident because things were going well. Things were going well because he stayed confident!
By 2026 he's breaking the all-time stolen base record at WVU, delivering walk-off hits, and helping send West Virginia to Omaha for the first time in program history.
As a former D1 coach and 7th rounder, I love this story because it's real. The work wins. The best players fail the most, they just refuse to let it stop them.
In a world that wants everything now, let's play the long game.
Belief comes before ability. Always has. Let's let the next wave of athletes embrace this mentality, stay consistent, and stay persistent.
I went down a rabbit hole on Guzman because I saw it wasn't always easy and smooth sailing for him, as that's how most athletes on TV appear. Adversity will always show up. It's how we keep that belief and keep improving. Kudos to Guzman and WVU, fun to follow as a baseball fan.
I pulled much of this information from WVU sports, domainpost and 247sports.
