Don’t believe everything you google. Whatever axe you have to grind with him, seems personal not substantive.

His congressional voting record overwhelmingly pro-woman and pro-civil rights. All his money is from selling books. He ranks near the bottom of all congress persons in net worth. I don’t understand your point of view. Can you elaborate?

Will there be any prequels in this series?

I don’t think that is an apt analogy for medical residents. These are 25 yo+ adults who have at minimum 8 years of pre-med and medical school training. They work in supportive teams consisting of attending physicians, nurses, other residents and medical students.

How are you so sure?

Bernie, working >80 hours a week in residency in a stressful environment is what makes great doctors. You gotta bern to shine! Now the pay, hell yeah the pay should be higher.

Agree, great review! I’m a little worried that, like Ikaros, this review has flown too close to the sun. It that good!!!!!

A lot of the affected are children who are not responsible for their parents’ vaccine decisions. Let’s not deny these children medical care pls.
