@HansAmato This is unbelievably dangerous advice and full of inaccuracies. It also appears to be practicing medicine without a license.

this should make every man in this country lose his fucking mind: your annual physical costs $300. your doctor spends 13 minutes with you. he orders a basic metabolic panel and maybe a lipid panel. total lab cost to the lab: about $12. billed to insurance at $800. your testosterone test, if he even runs one, is total testosterone only. one number. he compares it to a reference range that includes 80 year old men on dialysis. you fall "within range" at 340 ng/dL at age 29. he says you're fine. visit over a self-ordered panel through a direct lab company costs $150 out of pocket. no appointment. no referral. no 6-week wait. walk into any Quest or Labcorp location tomorrow morning. results in 48 hours on your phone that $150 panel gives you: free testosterone (the only form your body uses) SHBG (the protein binding your testosterone and making it useless) estradiol sensitive (if this is high your testosterone is being converted to estrogen) DHT (the androgen responsible for drive, confidence, and sexual function) prolactin (if elevated it's suppressing everything downstream) free T3 and free T4 (your actual thyroid output, not just TSH which lags months behind real problems) reverse T3 (if high your body is actively blocking thyroid hormone from entering cells) hs-CRP (systemic inflammation) homocysteine (cardiovascular and neurological damage marker) fasting insulin (catches metabolic dysfunction years before glucose goes abnormal) your doctor didn't order any of these $300 and a 13-minute appointment got you a number that means nothing without context. $150 and a walk-in lab visit got you the complete picture of why you feel like shit and exactly where the breakdown is occurring one of these options gives you answers. the other one gives you a co-pay and a follow-up appointment in 6 months where he'll tell you the same thing this isn't a healthcare system. it's a subscription model. and you're the recurring revenue the reason your doctor doesn't run the full panel isn't because he's stupid. it's because there's no billing code that justifies spending 45 minutes interpreting 15 biomarkers when he can bill the same amount for 13 minutes and a basic panel. he gets paid per visit, not per outcome. the system rewards keeping you just confused enough to come back i started ordering my own labs 4 years ago. every problem i'd been chasing for years showed up on a $150 panel that nobody in the medical system had ever bothered to run. the fatigue, the brain fog, the anxiety that came out of nowhere, the sex drive that vanished. the full guide on what to order, how to read it yourself, and what the numbers actually mean is on my substack. stop paying $300 for permission to be confused

Well aside from consistently screwing their clients, locking money for no good reason and having nonexistent customer service where speaking with a a human is impossible but you get emails promising responses within 24 hours that never happen, they are just great! Oh, and those FINRA and SEC violations that they have had to settle as recently as in the last year. Unfortunately, Robinhood is not a serious platform for serious traders. And the point blank lack of care for its clients has cost many clients millions of dollars. They are into me for about $120k when all is said and done. I would recommend going to WeBull or another brokerage who values its clients, follows through on promises and has a human who will talk to you within an hour. Robin Hood is a terrible company and should not be trusted with your hard earned money.

BREAKING: I just signed the bill to extend postpartum coverage for Wisconsin moms from a lousy 60 days to one full year after giving birth. I promised I'd never stop fighting to make sure moms and babies had the postpartum care they need, and today, I delivered on that promise.

Every time a doctor says "interesting," during rounds, a medical student panics. Because "interesting" means rare. Guess what follows!!

@NotA_Bull There is no single indicator. You may get away with this in a scalp or a short swing, but I would argue that even scalping of short swing require a cursory knowledge of trend, fundamentals, recent chart, and catalysts.

This is absolutely true. But did you know that optum health a wholly owned subsidiary of United Health Care has employed right at 1 million physicians. This dovetails either your statement as currently fully 85% of physicians are employed, NOT independent. There is real opportunity here.

We are nearing the event horizon of a major capital rotation event. Healthcare, which is ~20% of GDP, particularly healthcare real estate which is an extraordinarily safe investment, will be a major destination for capital. If you’re a physician - now is the time to start. I’ve seen physicians invest in real estate, cattle farms, oil & gas, software ventures - everything under the sun; and every time I’m asked for my opinion I’ve said the same thing: the best investment a physician can make is in himself and his colleagues (don’t get hung up on gendered language). If you’re a physician - create an enterprise and take your productivity back. And stop getting lost in the details - the math is very simple: there are 400 million people in America. There’s only 1.1 million physicians (and all of them are not practicing). The market is infinite! I’ve got nothing to sell you - we all benefit from physician autonomy - be the change! There are way more people that support you than are against you.
