What’s frustrating as a physician on social media is when you have fun content ideas to provide meaningful medical education to your audience, but then a powerful idiot starts mass diagnosing something fake like “mitochondrial challenges” while people watching at the airport, so then you’re like ok I guess I have to deal with this now

It's more than just a civic duty. Doctors' voices shape healthcare policies, impact patient care, and influence community health.

House Oversight leadership asking federal agencies their thoughts about which regulations they've issued could be challenged in the wake of #SCOTUS overturning #Chevron is an insanely weird flex. They're seriously asking "tell us all the things we can take you to court for." 🤦🏿‍♀️

We are heartened by the @FTC's decision today banning noncompete clauses. These employment arrangements are detrimental to the long-term, ongoing relationship family physicians form with their patients and communities. We are analyzing the decision to fully understand the impact on our members. The #AAFP shared the #familymedicine perspective with the FTC: https://t.co/vNH9qEaEuY
