Again, this is not true. Contrary to public misperception the final reader on every scan performed in the US is a US licensed and US board certified radiologist (uncommonly, preliminary afterhours reads in some hospitals are done overseas)

Not always… a vast majority of radiologists are not even in the US. They’ve been outsourcing it for YEARS, especially in smaller cities. It’s probably the radiologist’s normal working hours… in a totally different country and time zone.

Literally none of this is true. 1. Cancer staging scans are not being sent to India to be read - in general you cannot bill for reads performed outside the US 2. Scans cannot be read independently by AI 3. Hospitals are typically open on the weekend

This happened because a radiologist is working their ass off to get cancer scans read at 11 pm on a Friday before the weekend and it is Federal law that results are immediately available to the patient in the electronic record

Healthcare is the only industry that drops your cancer scan results into an app at 11 PM on a Friday, then closes for the weekend. No call. No context. Just a PDF full of words like "suspicious" and "cannot be excluded" and a little banner that says "Sleep well!" Meanwhile billing found me in 4 hours 😐

Making a call-out post about my cat. During my virtual therapy, he climbed up onto my chest, face so close his nose was touching my lips, and this guy sneezes into my open mouth as I'm talking. He is unsanitary and doesn't respect personal space. Cancelled and stinky

£4.30 for lamb kofte and chips at Wrexham. Can't fault the price. The presentation, on the other hand, needs a serious rethink.

Trump says that if Republicans lose in North Carolina he will use the power of his office to deny US Marine Corps veterans’ claims for medical treatment for cancer and other life threatening diseases resulting from decades of water contamination by toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are. In my view, I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize something that happened 7 months ago."

This is a wild watch for a number of reasons, but it seems pretty clear that Vance's entire strategy for 2028 depends on convincing people that Trump's 2nd term didn't really happen and that he wasn't actually part of it.

🥴 JD struggles through surprisingly contentious CBS town hall 🥴 Vance faced a number of tough questions from audience members and from Tony Dokoupil during exchanges like this: JD VANCE: The biggest reason why gas prices are so high is because when Joe Biden ... DOKOUPIL: It's almost been two years. At a certain point it becomes your economy, not Biden's economy Here's a supercut of Vance having a hard time explaining the sluggish economy, Trump's corruption, why the US hasn't already won the Iran war, and more:
