PSA: if you have chronic fatigue and have never had your ferritin checked, please do so.

And look at the actual value because the reference range is likely trash. It should be at minimum 30 and ideally 50+

Thank you for your attention.

Yeah in his case not relevant, but for so many others it could be. Stanford faculty senate hasn’t said anything about him.

Also I saw Condi once at Safeway during Covid β€” she was masked 😷

Like what are medical boards & licensing organizations even for?

JB is not a practicing physician however so such a step could not be taken by the medical staff.

Confusing to me that professional societies and California Medical Board did not revoke board certifications & licenses over gross misinformation

Faculty Senate upholds 2020 Scott Atlas censure, discusses school initiatives The Faculty Senate voted against rescission of its 2020 censure of Scott Atlas and heard presentations on the Graduate School of Business, School of Engineering, School of Humanities and Sciences, and...

I have been confused by this β€” the faculty senate censured Scott Atlas and I honestly thought he might lose his medical privileges at the hospital.

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water and the great heron feeds I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day blind stats waiting with their life. For a team I rest in the grace of the world and am free

In honor of world #CHD awareness day, I want to share my family story about a CHD called #hlhs. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a rare (1 in 3800) condition where a baby has a small left ventricle.

Nobody knows what causes hlhs but it accounts for 23% of cardiac deaths in the 1st wk of life. πŸ§ͺπŸ«€
