Leave it to the HHS boys to depathologized HRT in order to pathologize menopause. “HRT has saved marriages, rescued women from depression, prevented children from going without a mother,” Dr. Makary said.
No, menopause does not kill women or cause divorce.

When a massive explosion rocked the Canadian city of Halifax in December 1917, creating the world’s first mushroom cloud and killing thousands, hundreds of medical workers from Massachusetts raced through a blizzard to help. The kindness led to the annual gift of a Nova Scotian Christmas tree for Boston.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now
