Premarin is a medication containing conjugated equine estrogens, derived from the urine of pregnant mares. The name "Premarin" is a shortened form of "PREgnant MARe urINe".
Should one assume, then, that pregabalin is derived from a pregnant goblin?

We should stop referring to common, everyday cases as “bread and butter.”
I don’t see many doctors eating bread and butter on the regular.
What should we call them instead that would capture the same sentiment?

Not to toot my own electrode, but our EEG/EMG course today will be epic.
I overheard some very trustworthy people saying to each other that it will go down as the best #AANAM session of 2025. And the previous and subsequent hundred years.
Yes, the title sounds dry, but trust me.
