Things stressful [almost] everywhere in healthcare. Research/academic funding, unknowns re medicare/ medicaid /preventive health future, primary care shortage shifts care to specialists, no med prices/authorization control

Still see very sick patients who all share this: a deep sense of insecurity

Some studies need just one subject… 🤪

I’m, too, losing hair watching this.
