🔥 Obesity is not a behavior. Let that sink in. It’s not about eating too much, exercising too little, or lacking willpower. It’s a chronic, complex condition driven by biology, environment, and genetics—not simple “choices.” Let me explain. 1/10
The NBME also provided some explanation for why they singled out Nepal for their initial investigation.
Last year, examinees from Nepali medical schools scored significantly higher than those from ANY other country - including the United States.
Ok everyone, I guess that’s more of an apricot color. Thanks for pointing that out. My point still stands. C0VlD is much, much, much more dangerous than the flu, and existing with this much sickness and death while pretending it’s 2019 again is unacceptable.
Thin privilege is:
-finding clothes in your size easily in most stores
-your doctor not automatically attributing any health concern to your weight
-not wondering if people interact with you differently bc of your body size
Cool part about medicine is that you can feel like Albert mf einstein one minute and the next feel like your skull would be more useful as a candle holder bc obviously there’s no brain in it
I was 3 years into being an attending physician when I found I was unhappy.
I told myself once I….
…Pay off my loans
…Buy a bigger house
…Get promoted

Can we transition our focus from future moments to the present moment and enjoy right now?

Gender-affirming care is not merely hormones & surgeries despite how lawmakers frame it.

Banning gender-affirming care has a chilling effect, shutting down ALL care. 2/
So why does #priorauth exist?!
To “contain costs” by insurers…
Doesn’t sound terribly cost effective, does it? 😑
$58 million in labor cost alone of initial submission, not including the labor cost of denials/appeals and not including the cost of ED/hospital stays that results from delays/denials…
Sounds like it’s time to get rid of #priorauth, no?
How do I get like 1000s of replies from physicians to this one question?
Because I want the world to know this is not an isolated issue.
How much student debt do you have?
