Get ready! This makes the dark November days so much brighter!!! We are small but team #YouPickTwo (Med-Peds and any combined specialties) loves to participate!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
Mark your calendars because #HCWvsHunger 2025 starts in just one week…
And if you donated early due to the shutdown keep those receipts because we are going to find a way to count them.
Let’s feed some more people 🍎

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:
1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society
2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

So hey. I'm reading through some of the public comments, and there aren't that many, tbh.. And some of them are in *support* of repealing regulations/making everyone choke on their big-truck air. Your voice *definitely* matters here.
US folks: Did you know the EPA (currently run by someone more concerned with businesses than the environment) has a public-comment period right now?
This is our opportunity to tell them why we think they should not repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding.

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Medical tech hasn’t solved that I have to write a letter to fax to a pharmacy to discontinue a patient’s medication instead of being able to send an electronic discontinue order. So maybe we could work on stuff like that before deciding that AI is the next big thing in medicine.

I don’t think I’ve paid for a bank account in my entire life, even when I was living paycheck to paycheck. Or loan payment to loan payment as the case may be.
Young men don't open bank accounts. They are too expensive. They download coin base or Robinhood app and buy crypto. That's their savings
If one party pushes that number higher. They vote for em. Gensler/Biden caused those savings to go down. The demo with the biggest change was young men

Happy Match Day! Annual reminder that mixed emotions are okay. If you matched your first choice great! If you didn’t, it will be okay and you get what you need out of your training (and you CAN change directions later if you want). If you didn’t match, it’s not the end of your road.
