Sweet home, Chicago.
An issue I have seen in very athletic patients doing lots of upper body strength training. Thankfully quick diagnosis and treatment with surgery if needed most patients do really well.
I just hope Zack Wheeler will be ok. This is brutal, brutal news. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/08/zack...
Zack Wheeler Recommended For Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Surgery

I got a massage recently and the therapist said he would have thought I was in my early thirties and asked me what my secret was. I said it was because I tipped well.

I won't pretend I didn't see this coming. I am a Sickle Cell disease provider and I have seen almost every possible excuse for giving these patients "less than" care. But it burns. I hate this government and I hate everyone who voted for this government.

Dr. Clickbait is and always was a dementor for attention and his behavior is utterly unsurprising to anyone even tangentially involved in the heyday of MedEd on the old app.

Vance: I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents

There should be no "Designated Smoking Areas" at oncology conferences. Instead at places where people are likely to go smoke there should be signs that say "If You Smoke At An Oncology Conference You Are A Bad Person" in every language.

On first glance, Dr. Vinay Prasad’s medical credentials sound impressive. But look closer and you’ll find a narcissistic attention-seeker peddling misinformation, whose views will cost lives.

I was sitting in a class, I think it was biochemistry, in medical school when I suddenly figured out a clue from my Apple IIGS version of GoldRush! from when I was about 12 that I could never get past. I audibly gasped and my friend thought I was just excited about ATP synthase.
