If there’s anything in our #Healthcare system that is cost effective, it’s #TeleHealth … Trump killed it today.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

On an AA flight that landed at JFK waiting for a gate. Two littles were crying because of their ear pain on landing. After a couple minutes the flight attendant started singing *Twinkle Twinkle little star’, the entire plane joined in, the kids stopped crying, and this is the world I wanna live in.

Did you know that Elon and Trump want to start using the same AI claim denial process used by United Health at the Department of Veterans Affairs?

Just thought you might want to know.

I now know there are 3 things that will bring me A LOT of social media attention

-somebody uses visine
-insurance CEO murder

No shit murder is bad. The jokes about the United CEO aren’t really about him; they’re about the rapacious healthcare system he personified and which Americans feel deep pain and humiliation about

Dinesh D'Souza admitting his film "2000 Mules" had a "flaw" is like saying the Titanic had a "mild flotational hinderance"

Medicine focuses a lot on the question β€œwill this help my patient” but not on the question β€œwhen will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a β€œtime-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question. Here is a snapshot

I love scary movies but living in one for 4 years seems a little excessive.

Dear Santa:
When I was a child, my father cheated on my Mom. Later, my parents divorced.
Soon after, my mother died in a car accident My brother and I could only live in my grandma's old house.
Grandma's sister was an alcoholic. The whole family lived on my grandma's savings. Grandma recently died.
My Uncle Andy is barely keeping himself out of jail from day to day.
My brother left home and won't talk to us any more.
Dad, now 74, had to go out to work to support the family and eventually he is going to want me to do the same thing.
Yours sincerely.
Prince William
