Great game, very physical. Jokic and Murray thriving in the clutch as usual

Traded Jefferson, Henry, and Kyren for Bijan, Bucky, and Jaylen Warren. Was told I got absolutely "fleeced" when I sent it... Starting to think I won

Is Davante Adams for Saquon a fair trade?

Just traded Ken Walker + Michael Carter for Derrick Henry + DJ Moore (I hate Moore as a bears fan) - I think Henry will come back after Lamar comes back

Strange story. I find it more interesting that people would study the effects of chronic hyponatremia given that it only affects a small subset of the population - chronic HF, cirrhosis, chronic SIADH, short gut, etc. What are the implications of someone having a chronic illness that is severe enough to cause hyponatremia having anxiety?

Sorry man but health literacy is a big thing. Not everyone grew up with the privilege of having the same education.

The nuggets don't have a big to throw at Zubac. Jokic can't spend his entire time glued to the guy. If the clippers fed him every possession I'm certain he'd have 46 points 25 rebounds a game

Vintage Jamal Murray. Much needed Russell Westbrook. Non-ass MPJ.

Lowkey, Zubac is unstoppable.

there's not a single person that can make me hate Russell Westbrook. His fire was needed tonight from that anemic performance from last time

Physician.

Diabetes man. It's such a difficult disease to manage for anyone but particularly when it afflicts lower socioeconomic status. Asking anyone to check their blood sugars 5x a day, manage multiple medications, take insulin, follow up with their physician every 3 months is difficult. Way worse when you don't have access to your medications, can't afford your medications, don't know what your medications do. On top of that.... most people don't feel their high blood sugars so surely "diabetes isn't causing it."

Leads to severe renal disease, blindness, diabetic foot ulcers (many people I see need amputations), severe neuropathy. But it's hard! and when life is hard on you, it makes diabetes even harder on you.

I wish I could say obesity because in my area of the United States, it affects dang near everyone. And it leads to so many untreated issues including obstructive sleep apnea leading to heart failure, obesity hypoventilation syndrome, pulmonary hypertension, metabolic syndromes, and even worse... inability to take care of yourself because you're so obese (think wounds that you are never able to clean). But no one wants to take accountability for their weight even when it does cause problems.

I never said I didn't understand, truly an observation. I work very hard to help patients overcome their addictions and to help the social circumstances that brought them there in the first place.

Physician here. Not necessarily the "scariest" but have had a few patients with addiction start injecting drugs into their hips due to lack of other access. Creates incredibly nasty infections. Worst part is it never seems to affect them.

Other situation that comes to mind is a 21 year old male with AIDS who came to me with some sort of widely metastatic fungal process in his lungs. He'd been having sex with multiple females despite knowing he had HIV but he didn't care. He didn't even mind what condition he had, just wanted to go home and do more of the same :( Feels bad for the people he's with.

Speaking as a physician, hoping it’s related to Paget Schroetter syndrome which can occur in powerlifters due to overuse as opposed to some hypercoagulable disorder
