Why is there this stupidity movement about “raw” things? 🧪 #medsky
Raw milk, raw water. No benefits, all risk, and we're still doing this going in to 2025. I wrote about it years ago and it's still as dangerous now.

Seeing the #DignityInRisk is an essential part of learning how to care for older people, especially those who live with #frsilty. By the way, do hashtags work on this platform?

It often seems more like geriatrics chose me. Either way, I went to medical school to become a geriatrician. So that’s working out OK…
