I'm once again asking for the best IM residency programs for transgender docs getting banned from the military.

If a naturopath claims to be a medical doctor, just ask them if there are specific diagnostic criteria for adrenal fatigue.

People argue minors' lack of legal consent within the context of shared decisionmaking between the minor, healthcare team, and parents...but somehow they don't care about minors' lack of consent in carrying a pregnancy to term.

You cannot simultaneously say that "distress is not a reason for body modification" and also support breast reduction, low T clinics, hair transplants, etc. If you use this argument only against trans people, that's bigotry, not medicine.

I’m not sure if you still consider yourself religious, but if you’re looking for a secular/nonreligious community, lmk! There is so much community for people of similar backgrounds.

Maybe an immigrant family can replace me and we can do a swap?

This is the same thing with trans health. Preventing harm is invisible.

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well.

Neither do you.

Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

After 2 days on geriatrics I'm convinced that:

1. Geriatrics is an underrated specialty

2. Geriatricians are wizards

I'm frustrated at the amount of studies discussing weight gain on cross-sex HRT that only address the number and not factoring in muscle mass gain on testosterone.

Weight does not = adipose. Stop equating the two. Find a better metric to estimate this.

I understand that I'm an army doctor, but I've had at least 1 shoulder pain patient every day. I'm going to be the king of shoulder exams.

Something that bothers me is when a patient's chief complaint is listed as "referrals" with no context.

1. You may not need a referral. FM can handle a lot on our own

2. I can't prep the visit ahead of time because I don't know what the issue is that needs a referral
