For those who simply read the abstract: Despite the hype, there is an absence of evidence that collagen supplementation promotes beneficial effects on tendon properties provided adequate daily protein intake (>1.6 g/kg/d)

CVS/Caremark: $300 billion revenue per year
Median physician salary: $208k
The media: Why are physicians so greedy do they hate America?

You know who also learned valuable skills? Free people. And unlike the enslaved, those free people could keep the $ from those skills, they could buy property with those skills instead of be property, they could support their families instead of have their children sold from them

In 1996, Perdue launched OxyContin, the pill that would ignite the opioid crisis - an explosion in drug use that has shaved years off US life expectancy.
Many of those scripts were written for back pain.
Today, we discover they probably never worked

This morning, as I grapple with the passing of my aunt…
A gross distortion of my father’s beliefs on equality; a horrible misuse of his image to oppose something he pressed for:
Policies/programs that prevent ‘white supremacy’ laden inequity in hiring, college admissions, etc

You know the Supreme Court had themselves quite a day when you see all these white conservative politicians quoting MLK out of context. 🤷🏻♂️

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die.
Period.

The Supreme Court's decision to strike down affirmative action, including in professional schools, like medical and nursing, will have detrimental consequences on Black health for generations to come. This is about life & death for us. Today, we are only 5% of physicians.

Everyone deserves a living wage.
Everyone deserves housing.
Everyone deserves education.
Everyone deserves healthcare.
Advocating for such is an act of love.

My grandfather was deep brown. My grandmother was white passing. She had to ride in the back seat when they were together in the south so they wouldn’t get stopped.
There are people panicking about “America falling” cuz the POTUS displayed a Pride flag.
Y’all not serious.

I’m an emergency medicine doctor. When you come to my ER, I will take care of you even if your beliefs are different than mine. My job is to take care of patients.
If you would deny a patient care because they have different beliefs than you, then you should not be in medicine

When you work in health care, you are agreeing to treat EVERYONE. By refusing to provide care because you disagree (also implying that you devalue them), you put them at risk for not receiving timely and effective care. Your inaction is action. – at Grand Rapids, MI
OUTRAGEOUS: A new bill proposed by Florida Republicans, and backed by Ron DeSantis, would give doctors and insurance companies the freedom to deny care to patients who are LGBTQ people or women. The so-called “Protections of Medical Conscience Act” was proposed by the Health & Human Services Committee and Healthcare Regulation Subcommittee of the Florida House of Representatives.
The bill would allow healthcare providers to refuse to treat or pay for the treatment of people based on “conscience-based objections without… threat of adverse actions.”
Under the law, doctors and insurance companies could deny treatment and payment if they feel the patient goes against their religious, moral or ethical beliefs. Critics say this would impact women and LGBTQ people directly, as doctors could claim they have religious, moral or ethical objections to treating LGBTQ patients, or providing medical care such as birth control, abortion referrals or gender-affirming care.
The bill also provides doctors and insurance companies with legal protection for their objections, and doesn’t require them to refer their patients to another doctor.

Wow. Lizzo’s concert in Tennessee last night featured an entire drag performance. This comes at a time when the Tennessee legislature is attacking the LGBTQ+ community. Lizzo is not here for it & we need more people like her.

1. It's not a Senate Report it's from "the Republican leadership of the Senate health committee".
2. No evidence presented, just conjecture, unrelated factoids.
3. And zero scientific publications, and you know why? For reasons stated in the previous sentence
4. Repeat & rinse
The pandemic appeared to originate from a lab accident, based on biosafety issues in the epicenter in Wuhan and factors observed in the nature and early spread of the virus, per a 302-page Senate report obtained by Axios.

“Adrenal fatigue” was invented by the wellness industry.
It’s a fake diagnosis.
The Endocrine Society, representing 18,000 endocrinologists, have stated, “Current medical science recognizes no such condition.”
