#Diagnosis Corner> Do not wish disorders of #taste on even your worst enemy. Removing the joy of eating, and curdling the flavors of what makes mealtime joyful...that is most difficult. For those that experience this, there is a BIG motivation to address the cause and get back to normal. #medsky

In #medicine, snobbery to your colleagues just depends on your frame. As a student and resident in the ER, I came to think all PCPs were bumbling fools. Later as a PCP, I found myself giving back to the ER. Then I’d realize. We're the same team; we should communicate more, scoff less. #medsky

How do you reach the youngest amongst us? Follow their eyeballs. Work on ways to get them from their #screens to the world, and perchance, to find ways to connect with them around health and #wellbeing. Then: goodness will ensue. #Graphicmedicine

Amongst other things, this again highlights the core point about due process. It’s bad enough to be in a “show me your papers” situation, but your precious citizen/non-citizen, “legal”/“illegal” distinctions are meaningless when you can’t prove anything to authorities because they don’t give a shit.

Conservative columnist George Will gets it.
In a piece titled "A sickening moral slum of an administration," Will writes:
"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement."
www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Other countries don't necessarily condone overt bribery even our present administration actively encourages (even solicits) it.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
I am thinking that the past is prologue as they say. Whatever future I have is what I want to add value through

thepatientstory.com/patient-stor... The patient story went deep with me. Perhaps the whole voiceover and stock video (it’s obviously not me fondling their shoulder in the video, for example) isn’t the format I was expecting but Stephanie knows her audience way better than me.

“You are taking the decision away from the reviewers, and you’re putting it in the hands of the political leaders of FDA,” Fernandez Lynch said.
It doesn't take an expert to understand how bad this is. More great reporting from @lizzylawrence.bsky.social

The number of ways this is disgraceful behavior from the Secretary of Defense is...a lot.
Service members do have a duty to refuse illegal orders
All Americans have a 1st Amendment right to say that out loud.
