Carry what you learned with you as you tackle more papers.

I’ve certainly learned a lot about critical appraisal from the NephJC podcast!

I agree with you for sure.

What do you think about reading the editorial (if there is one) after you have read the paper?

For those learning to read papers outside of an academic environment I suggest reading the editorial after to see what you missed or didn’t know to look for.

$15,080 at 40hrs/week with no vacation and before taxes

$13,594 after taxes (in NC for example)

And don’t think about taking time off

Agreed. It’s also me being glib about my perspective as a privileged physician

For me, I can’t imagine eating that much processed meat (or meat in general).

For many Americans the only food they have access to and know how to prepare is processed meats and other ultra processed foods.

Not really. People with chronic conditions often choose to not have CPR performed because it often delays the inevitable and can prolong suffering while increasing trauma around their death.
