Before the ACA pediatricians would code the one week newborn visit as a "weight check" or "feeding concerns" because if we coded it as "well baby visit" the insurance only allowed so many per calendar year and the family would get a bill.

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it.
Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on.

The Department of Education said the memo calling for a broad pause on federal spending did not apply to federal student loans or Pell grants. That money will continue to flow, the statement said

What I've learned in 3 weeks of PA school:
1) Everyone is terrified, literally everyone.
2) "I won't take the full two hours for this lecture" is a guarantee the lecture will go overtime.
3) I have terrible posture and sitting 60 hours a week has made that SO evident. My back is screaming.

Words like disability doula mean
'the often-invisible work of disabled people “supporting people rebirthing themselves as disabled or more disabled.” It involves people with disabilities sharing the knowledge and resources that have come about through their lived experiences with others.'

Newly disabled people aren’t given a ‘how-to’ guide. Disability doulas are closing those gaps.
The community care practice, pioneered by queer women of color, reorients newly disabled people to a different life – a necessity that has grown during the pandemic era.

This is a fascinating article, and a reminder that TB is caused by impoverishment as much as it's caused by bacteria.
A program in Brazil that gives a monthly cash sum to families living in poverty has an unexpected — and welcome result. A new study shows that it is dramatically reducing tuberculosis rates.
