Dearest mother —
The battleground has called for my glorious return. I’m thrilled to say, I shall heed that call.
I have reenlisted.
While my sidearm is permanently holstered — I shall help train other young men to be great soldiers. Please send care packages of squirrel oil and skunk cakes to our basecamp at Stanford. I love you.

@RebeccaCoelius@JayRughani Agreed that this can work across specialties!

UnitedHealth Exploits an ‘Emergency’ It Created https://t.co/89tO0aBHCR
Unbelievable.
1) Buy the company that processes claims to pay physicians.
2) Exploit a cybersecurity breach by not paying medical practices.
3) Tank those practices.
4) Then offer to buy medical practices on the cheap.
The best news coming out of Sunday for the 49ers is that 24-year-old Brock Purdy was again absolutely legit.
Coming off a season of #1 efficiency, Purdy went toe to toe with Patrick Mahomes in a 15-round Super Bowl.
That alone has set the 49ers up for continued contention
