So the Kansas jayhawks are named after the jayhawkers who are the abolitionists who fought to stop slavery and apparently Lawrence Kansas was one the very first towns in America who started the movement even before the civil war ❤️ I knew they had revolutionary blood like Algeria
Nah, im my specialty, physical exam is 75% of the diagnosis. I could review all the charts, labs, imaging, and history but then once I do my exam, it puts together all the pieces and everything makes sense
The dirty secret of healthcare is that MOST physical exams are a relic of an older time. We still learn them. We still bill for them (main reason they're done still). But they RARELY change management. Clinical suspicion --> confirmatory tests or empirical treatment most times.
if you sincerely believe chicago and detroit are the worst shitholes in america you’ve been watching too much conservative news and no i’m not joking whatsoever
59 years ago, Muhammad Ali sacrificed the prime of his career rather than compromise his principles by standing against U.S. imperialism. American athletes today are cowards who are willing partners in genocide, covered in the stench of atrocity and completely unashamed.

while it’s funny how big this blew up, i’m serious about the cities i selected
spiritually, chicago and toronto feel like two sides of the same coin. the economic diversity, the food, the cultural melting pot, the lack of a single identity that screams “this is a <insert industry> city!”

all three cities have massive muslim communities, and immigrant populations more broadly
all three cities have some of the most talented, creative people i know with roots there, who care deeply about the future of their hometown
there’s also the freshwater! global warming! the weather is getting better!
the Great Lakes Corridor has the opportunity to be the most powerful and creative stretch in the world within the next decade
i’m rambling now, but there’s something here. i’ve talked to a bunch of people across these cities, and they get it. there’s a connection that’s untapped. gotta figure out how to articulate it better
underlying all of my work is a desire to help this stretch, and the surrounding area, reach its potential
