I hope Congress acts asap to make this guidance ultimately unnecessary, but until then, offering some guidance and tips if you or a loved one’s care access is being impacted due to federal inaction.
This note struck me, and it’s why I absolutely love what I do.
Medicine will always be a special profession filled with humbling chances to try and provide a helping hand in a family’s worst moments.
It’s a great reminder at a time when the rancor and noise at the top can feel so distracting.

Topol: The same thing occurs with all these wellness influencers—the latest being Peter Attia. There are hundreds and hundreds of these so-called longevity hackers. One cardinal rule I have is this: if somebody is selling something, they have no credibility. Zero.

I applaud the President in bringing attention to drug costs.
But if you want a one stop shop for low prices, TrumpRx isn’t it.

Remarkable moment yesterday, where @sanders.senate.gov grilled the current NIG Director on the continued nonsense linking vaccines to autism
He either forgot his talking points or couldn’t live with the moral injury any longer because he said the truth: there isn’t a link.

Peter Attia never finished a residency and isn’t board certified in anything. Yet, he’s made millions suggesting he knows more than anyone else on “longevity medicine.”
Add in his vile private behavior, and somehow Bari Weiss is still advocating for him?
