Them: “Okay, I’ll dial up a Spanish interpreter while we walk over.”
Me: “Oooooh. Can we call for the in-person one instead?”

*silence*

Me: *starts dialing* “They come quick, I promise.”
Them: “No. . . umm. . . it’s fine.”

It did not seem fine.

Honestly, getting a bachelors of social work would have served me, as a primary care physician, far better than my biology degree.

So much of health happens in daily life, not the clinic/hospital.

Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines.

Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

When I came out to my dad 20 years ago, he told me the idea of two men being intimate disgusted him.

When a patient requests to drink cold ice water before removing high-flow nasal cannula (to withdraw life support), that will be the last one in his life.

- Don't thicken it.
- Make sure he gets what he wants.
- Don't ask anybody. It won't take long. Go get it by yourself.

Every time I say "underserved communities" I feel like that's not enough. I should be saying "historically neglected and excluded from care."

That seems more accurate.

An external review of NHS leadership, followed by an 'action plan'. This is a million miles from the evidence base about how to actually create cultures of high performance in healthcare
