Well, I have a friend at a private US hospital who posted the exact same thing yesterday about how she was expecting discharge all day and the order never came in, nobody knew why not, so she stayed another night.
Part of this week’s newsletter was inspired by the post below. Was there a way to show the distance between normal Americans and the super wealthy?

Meanwhile, in a country with a still functioning public health system. Love this campaign. www.instagram.com/ukhsa/reel/D...
Yes, this matters.

Over the next 25 years, if proposed cuts in NIH funding are made real, “In a population of more than 340 million, this reflects **82 million** fewer years of life.”
In the US alone.

It's .........very cosplay so far here at Trump's birthday parade. Those wigs must be so damn hot
Let's do this!

Here in the US, I'll bet a Venn diagram of people owning these type of trucks and people who call themselves "pro life" has significant overlap. Drivers of vehicles with grills this high should be required to have commercial driving training and licenses.
How can anyone be okay with dead children as the consequence of their interpretation of the only constitutional amendment they seem interested in following?
Abstracts for ICHG 2024 are published! Closing my chapter as chair of this impactful meeting. Huge amount of work, but seeing the progress made from this collaboration has been inspiring and I am honored to have been a part of it. www.reproduction-abstracts.org/ra/0004/abst...
#hyperemesis
If you’re looking for quality independent reporting on what’s happening in Los Angeles, I’ve put together a starter pack for it.
If you’d like to be added or know an indie who should be added, hmu
I had a friend who was an hour late to my house every time she would come over for 10 years because her mom would get lost and we gave detailed directions every time.

Let's get to know him!

Also universal healthcare and paid sick leave and disability leave
Let’s dream up to ways to shit on women. Oh hey, let’s cancel the largest clinical trial ever for women www.science.org/content/arti...
and we have no unique national patient identifier. Yet, somehow we are suppose to believe the US data will get us an answer in months?
Several countries have very comprehensive databases and they have been studies for years, but nobody has found a cause. US data is terrible to work with because it is basically impossible to trace a patient longitudinally when they have multiple insurances over their lives
As we write our checks to the IRS this week, this is what we are paying for. Kidnapping and human trafficking
We pick strawberries 10 months out of the year here in coastal Southern California. By we, I most definitely do not mean me.
"No one prioritizes women's lives"
Agreed
Yes, possible. Possible even acutely though exceedingly uncomfortable when acute.
Many lines have been crossed. Working on visas, logistics.
Have I sent something in a way it was seen by an unintended reader? Yes, embarrassingly yes. But that is precisely why I am not in a position where I am trusted with war plans. Duh.
*laughs in OBGYN*
If you say you are from Los Angeles, people will be cool with you, but even that seems embarrassing these days.
