Alternatively, I'm so tired of seeing patients who need rehab after surgery and instead of staying in the hospital, they're offsited to some shitty nursing home where rehab may, or may not, happen once a day.

Stop signing up for "low cost" MA plans.
Straight Medicare with supplementals ends up being the better bargain.

Any questions?

If we are going to do cognitive testing, maybe it should be the equivalent of a 9th grade civics test.

Another event I never learned in history class?

Thank you for posting. I'll be spending the afternoon finding material about this.

What are you reading?

Working through my reading list, starting with Dan Brown's quiet release today.
I love cool, rainy, autumn afternoons.

That is correct, in theory.

Do you know how long drug companies have, to recoup those nebulous R&D costs?

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

I don't usually have such strong reactions to celebrity deaths but I have loved everything she has done.

Er, maybe. I don't mean or intend to minimize your experience at all AND
I never hear the anti-trans crowd talking about women in pants.
It's always men in dresses and drag queens.

The war on women, now dressed as anti-trans, keeps going deeper.

So.......here are a few things that are as mythical as Christianity but clearly not Christian:
Jesus, Egyptians, and Israelites were in America with our indigenous people;
Look up the gold plates and the seer stone in a hat (not kidding);
Men are gods who inherit planets to rule over after death
