Having a background in both business management and clinical medicine is such a weird combo. After combing through the billing practices of my new clinic for a month now, I've run across SO many great services we provide that just...aren't being billed for, for no discernible reason whatsoever.

My beloved celestial blue Mazda3 hatchback is on the verge of coding. Do I go ahead and buy a new car before the 25% tariffs hit or roll the dice on it surviving and trying to save money in the event that my Fed employee husband gets shitcanned for zero logical reason?
Are we great again yet? 🙃

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.

The impact from these EOs have been devastating and immediate. This student, a refuge on TPS from Venezuela, has lost their legal status and will likely have to abandon their collegiate aspirations.
What about the nursing shortage?! Are we really going to deport legal, documented nursing students?

As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky
Allowing ICE in hospitals is a public health catastrophe in the making
Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making, writes Eric Reinhart.

Surprise! I'm in NYC! Got invited to an internal event at Reddit HQ to be on a panel of moderators. We toured the office and I've eaten half my bodyweight in fresh pasta. Looking forward to the actual event tomorrow!

More credentialing woes. It's going to be at least another week before I can start my new job. I've now been home for a month. I'm baking banana bread. I'm making candles. I haven't worn shoes in weeks. Suddenly I have opinions about sourdough starters. Guys help, I'm going domestic #MedSky
