John Mandrola, MD Then politics should have stayed out of medicine

Come to think of it, denigrating the worth of a soldier’s service based on whether he deployed to a war zone is… kind of like denigrating the worth of a woman’s citizenship based on whether she happens to have children.

Holden Culotta Did he cry for the kids who died in Samoa?

Aaron Mitchell I'm with you that the price should be lower, but lots of software companies have similar (or better) gross margins. And the pharma companies are competing for investment against these software companies. If they can't provide similar returns, we all lose

Do you trust venture capital or big Tech? This is a stupid F’ing statistic. Trust in everything is down, mostly due to big tech. Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 benefits from this distrust

Vaccines did this, btw

Alex Berenson Nurse salaries- USA: $87,000 Germany: $33,000 All professions make more in America- Law, Tech, etc Doctors salaries have decreased in real money 80% since Medicare froze doctor payments in 2000. Work-RVU payment: 2000: $36 2024: $32 Hospital/insurance payments increased

It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS, indeterminate dendritic cell histiocytosis

Nick Huber You don’t have to play this game with your kids because you’re rich. Didn’t you go to Cornell? Seems like that worked out.

Sometimes I think the American healthcare system would completely collapse if residents didn’t exist as cheap labor. Imagine if residents were paid the same wage as APPs. Most will argue residents are paid trainees but hospitals don’t decrease APPs wages when they’re learning

Michael Mindrum, MD He wouldn’t know, he’s a chiropractor

Scientists “ we can convert between artificial numerical representations”. Social media “Plato was right”…

This is how the physicians in Congress have failed us! Greg has become a congressman who happens to be a physician instead of a physician who happens to be a congressman. We have to live with terrible health policies, laws, and regulations; we don't need your insults as well!

B Unfortunately we’ve banned children from working making it impossible for them to pay for their own child care
