Removing non-compete clauses .... is actually the best thing for the patient.

Well done FTC.

My least favorite patients are the stuffed animals who always want a free exam but are full of fluff.

Dear Taylor Swift ,

My kids worship you, as I did before them. But like...in the future....maybe don't release it on a school night? Saturdays are awesome.

Sincerely,

Parents who can't wake up their kids today.

Reasons I run late:
- I don't enforce the grace period bc the excuse is usually a good one
- Parents of newborns run late
- It takes 15 mins to room a patient for a 15 min slot
- 80% of my job has become mental health care
- People have lists of concerns they want to address

NP's stay on time so their supervising doctors can fall behind.

4 yo: WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT?

Me: Like what?

4 yo: Like a boy.

Mom (mortified): Omg, she does not look like a boy! Look at her long hair, and lashes ....

4 yo: Yes she does. Why?

Me: I don't know.

4 yo: Ok.

In case you were wondering, if you want to say 'no problem' and 'my pleasure' simultaneously after someone says 'thank you', it comes out as 'my problem' and everything is awkward after that.

The HPV vaccine is literally a cure for cancer

In 20 years we will have a small part of a generation at needless risk of cancer because of tribal choices

If you have teenagers (or older!), get them the HPV vaccine

Ah yes by all means, let’s ban tiktok over a hypothetical security risk while ignoring the actual security breach dumpster fire burning down healthcare.

More protective measures at Mar-a-Largo than at schools with innocent babies.

Got it 👍🏼.

Unless you needed them, right? 😉
