Flying to visit family and once again reminded that my very moderate position is that, if you put a backpack in the overhead bin instead of beneath your seat, you should be added to a no-fly list.

Question for #MedSky: what should a lecture on adult immunizations cover that goes beyond the general vaccine schedule? The audience is medicine residents. I’m thinking of, for example, vaccines in asplenia or how the vaccine schedule changes for people living with HIV. What else?

One thing I never quite could understand, Doc, was the neurochemical basis of cogitation. Are our thoughts electricity or chemistry? Or is it the combination of the two what forms our perception of qualia?

I make a point any discussing Covid vaccination with my patients living with HIV in part because of the increased risk of CV events, so I was excited to see these studies published www.statnews.com/2026/06/15/c...
statnews.com
Covid vaccination cut risk of adverse heart events, large study finds
Covid vaccination was also tied to a nearly 24% reduction in all-cause cardiac events in a large study, surprising researchers.

Really enjoyed this article and thought it was nuanced, open-minded reporting on a contentious issue. I’m really interested and hopeful for more research on neuroplasticity and mind-brain interventions in parallel with the other research that’s ongoing on long COVID. www.wired.com/story/the-pa...

The 2010 K-drama Secret Garden 시크릿 가든 has some truly wild TV medicine, but it also has the most accurate description of a VIP medical encounter ever put to screen.
Gaudily dressed rich lady: “How could this suddenly happen to a perfectly normal man?”Doctor in white coat: “We’re still running tests, so…”Rich lady, interrupting, screaming: “You’ve been doing tests for hours!”Doctor: “He’s not the only patient here.”

Where's that hard-hitting political and social commentary that got you banned by the right? I couldn't give a damn what you think about hip hop. Unless you step up and become relevant again I'll have to move my albeit meager financial support from NPR to PBS.
