"sleep training" a newborn means letting a defenseless baby scream for its mother in the dark until it's either exhausted or has given up on life. the attachment literature is clear that before 6 months, a baby crying with nobody coming learns exactly one thing, that calling for help doesn't work and you even have parents bragging about how they tortured their kid into an 8h sleep you need to attend to every need of your child. they don't have a prefrontal cortex able to understand what's happening. if you love them and care for them, they'll barely cry, and when they do there's a clear reason you can address right away

I'm sorry but "make your kids go to bed earlier so you see them less" is a very funny solution to the unrelenting nature of toddlers



This is almost always fixed by earlier bedtimes. We start bedtime at 6:30pm. We know many parents who start at 8:00pm.




You can’t go in being like “I’m having migraines and I’ve seen that the first line medication intervention for migraines is triptans so I’d like to try that”, many drs won’t LIKE THAT. You have to go “oh nooo my heeeaddd hurtttsss what do i dooo”


Drs have such weird control issues that you literally have to go into every apptmnt acting like you’ve never heard of the concept of medication. I’m not just talking opioids or benzos. I mean even if you want migraine meds for a migraine you have to let them come up w the idea

The med students and interns in the Pitt talk back to senior residents and attendings. I’d have gotten my ass whooped for doing some shit like that.



Ok. Please call a robot at 3 am when you have appendicitis. It will be nice to sleep.

@NeilFlochMD Doctors are currently like taxi drivers before Uber - self-important, entitled, terrible customer experience. It’ll be glorious to watch AI put them in their place.
