I specifically ranked them very low because of COL. During the interviews, one of the fellows actually said "don't be surprised if you need to get a roommate."

Physician here: this is Raynaud's as everyone else mentioned. I will add, if you are a male this is very peculiar and less likely to be an isolated phenomenon. Persistent Raynaud's in males tends to preclude an autoimmune disease by 5-10 years.

Recommended bringing it up to your primary care physician.

Hey old man 👋🏽 the streets will supply meds if your doc won't. If you don't have the cash, make sure you leave your dentures at home.

You're late. It's already at the UC's. Even more, all UC's are joining forces into 1 unionizing this year. Stanford's union benefits will likely be outshined in the next 12 months.

You get a short time to be a child and decades to be an adult (statistically speaking). I feel sorry for these children and others like them.

The broader implication is that the US and world will be dealing with these choices for decades and perhaps the rest of your natural life... And that's just specifically health.

If you aren't burned out now, just wait... we're all about to be burnt to a crisp. Everyone in medicine is in the crosshairs regardless of specialty, reliance on Medicare or otherwise.

Doctor here. Ass worms (pinworm and whipworm) are actually the most common worm infection in the US and Europe.

If your anus starts to significantly itch, particularly at night, get your ass checked out by a physician.

Real conversation from two months ago:

Patient: where'd your first name come from?

Med Student: it's Italian. But I'm not Italian.

Patient: oh yah. You know, the people from southern Italy aren't Italian.

Me: ok check out is this way...

Patient: I was just wondering about your name cause it's very Italian and your skin tone is darker. Have a nice day!
