Big thanks to united Healthcare for denying my adult patient with CP for his new manual wheelchair. I'm sure that pressure he's getting from the broken down one will miraculously heal on it's own. Great company. Love working with them.

Soda literally kept me alive when an SBO d/t IBD meant I couldn't eat anything and we were not near my normal hospital, so you can call it "junk food" if you want to, but that's not a scientific or medical judgement.

The Buffalo Common Council approved Acting Mayor Chris Scanlon's proposed 2025-26 budget with a 6-2 vote.

not sure that i'll have a column this week so read my weekend newsletter on GOP's 45-year obsession with slashing taxes for the rich www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/o...

Anti-vax is now the mainstream GOP position. They’re starting with COVID jabs because they’re new. And media has been willing to carve out an exception for skeptics of the COVID jabs as though they’re not anti-vaxxers. But they are and they’re coming after all vaccines.

Wait, are the terminally online politics posters finally doing 'Is Bluesky bad?' discourse? Because lemme tell you, it is and it's your fault.

Me at 6 am: well it looks like nice weather so I should at least weed the front garden beds. Me at 2 pm: so I weeded all the garden beds and dug out the grass from two to create an edge and planted a bunch of Veggies and flowers and set up my netting over the veggies to keep the rabbits away.
