One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

Those civics and government classes I took in high school were really important. In the past month I’ve used what I learned in those classes to educate patients on their rights, between reps and sets. #publichealthPT #immigration #refugee #physicaltherapy4all

Time zones are fascinating. Australia is already in 2025, Europe is still 2024, and the USA is currently in 1939.

The favorite holiday of all American elective healthcare providers has finally arrived! Happy Deductiblenacht and may all your policies reset!

This is why we science. It is not for the help it can give us or our families, but rather for the possibility of contributing to the betterment of our shared world, our communities, or our species. Science is selfless.

I despair of this field every time a tech person tells me that A.I. is "better than nothing" for low-income and/or underserved people. How about we try to get people the resources they need instead of the ones we can make money providing?

Health insurance is not health care. Please stop letting people get away with glorifying insurance companies. They are not helping anyone but their CEOs, BODs, and investors. It’s greed. And he is no savior of health or health care.

Not the media saying “housing project” instead of “hostel” 🫠
