Tilly Lockey is double amputee due to meningococcal septicaemia. She can literally snap on a robotic hand and control it just by thinking, even when it’s not attached to her body. The bionic setup is fully wireless, fully real, and fully sci-fi.

@laurenspieller Hi, Lauren! Queried you with a project, RETRIBUTION, that may check the "suspense/book club" boxes for you. (Hope you don't mind being pinged here!)
English
I love romance and fantasy but I *really* want to see more suspense and book club fic. If your novel comps to Kate Alice Marshall or DIAL A FOR AUNTIES, or if your book would sit next to COUNTERFEIT or Elizabeth Strout on shelves, please query!

@adamcifu Fantastic article. Patients and their families want autonomy, of course, but they also want physician leadership (another word, I think, for parentilism).

@adamcifu If one more patient extols the virtues of cold plunging or rapamycin to me, I'm going to prescribe everyone metformin.

From a NYT article on aging and exercise: “For me, I’m now thinking less about chasing peak performance and more about challenging my weakening muscles and avoiding injuries.” This is me!

@adamcifu Yes! This! I’ve died in this hill more times than I can count. Yet I keep coming back for more. I just can’t stop myself. “No, you don’t need that screening treadmill test.” “No, you don’t need prednisone for your low back pain.” Ugh!
