Pretty nice movement for the lower lats


Reading scores, 3rd graders to 8th graders, 2015 to 2025. This is a national tragedy.


Well... well... looks like I'll have to add a 7th row to the pyramid of silly rebuttals. Apparently my results are now now invalid because I didn't get my lipids every single day for 7 years and theoretically could have - in a malicious and precise manner - spiked my LDL specifically on the days I had it measured. cc @realDaveFeldman @ApoDudz for a laugh 😂 mdpi.com/2079-9721/14/5…









I'm a psychiatrist. Most of what I'll say next was never taught to me in training. If you've been on antidepressants over a year and feel more tired, foggy, anxious, and unmotivated than you used to, you may not be "treatment resistant." You may be having problems with the medication itself. The FDA's own chief scientific and medical officer pointed this out last year. Clinical trials average 8 weeks. Real world use averages 5 years. Past one year, no one really knows. Tolerance is real. Doses creep up. Medications stack on. People feel worse, not better. You deserve honest informed consent. Not another add on.



Hi 👋🏻, actual obesity expert here. Also, I'm not a surgeon. Procedural and surgical obesity treatments will never be eliminated. They work via unique anatomic-gut related mechanisms. These are distinct from the hormone-based pharmacotherapies. The only reason to eliminate them would be if we wanted to limit the ways we treat obesity, which is dumb.


If Americans ever want good healthcare, there is going to have to be a generation of doctors that takes a massive pay cut as part of the money being sucked out of the system. They can have their loans forgiven too, but they need to earn less.
