The only hope of uniting this country is in our shared hatred of health insurance companies. We should lean into that.

I think I’m at this point with the “doctors are pharma shills/root cause of disease” crowd. You do you buddy, I’ll see you for your cataract surgery.

There’s a stray cat who comes around our house. He was looking skinny, so we’ve been leaving out cat food. Haven’t seen him in awhile, but the food was gone every morning, so I assumed he was eating it. Turns out a fat ass possum has been eating it. Asshole has been living like a king on cat food.

one time i took my broken glasses to an old school eyeglass repair shop and the guy did a fantastic job, couldn’t even see the original break, but i saw a bit of smudge on the lens so i tried to wipe it with my t-shirt and he yelled “no!” at me and snatched them back to clean them properly

People do this in healthcare and it always irritates me. “Look at that patient. They sit there with an iPhone but say they can’t afford their medications?” Buddy, you are mad at the wrong thing.

I have a horrible feeling that many vaccinated people will never fully recover their heart energy.
Do you know what I mean? That warm glow you used to get from heart to heart hugging of people, is diminished with some vaccinated people, to a brief flicker, much fainter life force? Energy healers, does anything work to heal this in your experience?

The tanking UHG stock price is cool and everything, but what really makes me smile is the thought of their investors crying and filling their diapers because UHC isn’t killing poor people good enough.

Of course, **if** doctors only recommended proven medical Rx then no insurance company should say no
The problem is doctors OFTEN recommend unproven or harmful things.The ENTIRE healthcare system is broken, not just health insurance companies. It is NOT HEROIC to assassinate insurance CEOs
The assassin is an "asshole that is going to die in prison," as Fetterman says

Over 100, going to the doctor is optional, but if you do go in, you get to have any lab test or imaging study you want. Sestamibi scan? Sure! Cardiac MRI? Why not!

But like what happens in people’s brains that send them down these anti-science rabbit holes. Other than RFKs brain worm, there has to be something.

I’m fascinated by scientific breakthroughs that were universally hailed in the moment, like pasteurization, that are now vilified by some people. Is this a uniquely American thing? Anybody written a book about why/how this happens? Like the psychology behind it. I’d love to learn more.

I’m curious why Casey Means actually quit in *year 5* of ENT residency. Like I get burning out and leaving medicine to own a bakery or something, but the stated reason is bc she wanted to treat the “root cause” of disease? What? ENT gotta be top 10 in specialties that cure disease. It’s surgery.

I can tell Casey Means was not a “top performer” in ENT residency or whatever they’re claiming cause none of her social media has ever mentioned the use of Q-tips

But you’re using insurance companies as a safety net, which is a problem because they try very hard to not be a safety net.

This is part of what makes health care feel so hopeless. We should have more power as consumers, but where do you go if you don’t like your health insurance company? Just die, I guess?

Each specialty gets 3 things that are “stocks worthy” For ophtho: 1. Fail to remove contacts from intubated patients 2. Any consult without a vision assessment 3. Ophthalmology consult for blurry vision which I cure by putting the patient’s glasses on their face Trust me this will correct behavior
