I need to see the information that they stole. (Well, not literally the information, but the type of information). On the bright side, the hackers may not have had the capacity to download and copy it all. Maybe.

@bostonglobe.bsky.social, if you’re listening, I have a story for you. Let me pitch it to your editors.

I also have an unrelated scandal to pitch about a leader at Optum. Not even from inside knowledge, but public information. A scandal in plain sight.

I worked there 7 years! A Trump
judge decided this case. I thought it was insane the judge let this merger happen. I didn’t work in the clearinghouse business, but I knew enough about it.

I was so paranoid about being hacked due to the amount of healthcare data we needed to do our jobs.

I like that it suggests sending a cease-and-desist after you’ve had your case dismissed by a judge. Helpful.

So fascinating 🤓

For legal reasons this is sarcasm and not medical advice.

Yes, it’s a new, safe, wonder-drug from Purdue Pharma! Developed by the same family that brought you the non-addictive Valium. I would start you at a low dose, 160mg twice a day.

Nvm, you got it! Both contestants guessed thorium. (One crossed out promethium and replaced it with thorium).

Should I spoil it with the correct question? I don’t know if you watch Jeopardy or not 😅

Tylenol is much more dangerous than birth control. It wouldn’t be approved today because of its hepatotoxicity (liver toxicity).

Unfortunately, it’s the best thing OTC to control fever.

Have you tried this safe new miracle drug, OxyContin?

Nope.

If you have recurrent sinus infections after a cold, you may need to be seen by an ENT to rule out structural causes.

PharmD here! 😊

Yes, it’s marketed as an anti-tussive, but is no better than placebo. Why it’s still available, I don’t know. I’d never recommend.

Oh. My. God.

“The White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910”

Awful!
