It's indefensible that RFK Jr. is reportedly planning to remove LGBTQ-specific youth counseling from the national 988 suicide hotline.

In 2013, I did a dermatology elective at a cancer hospital and my takeaway every day was how grim the prognosis was for any form of advanced/non-localized melanoma. I have barely been practicing medicine for any amount of time and that has now completely changed thanks to our NIH-funded researchers.
