Marche reminds us that the real privilege is living without the constant threat of violence.

For many, witnessing it firsthand changes everything, including where they choose to live.

What would you give up for safety and peace?

Democracy and authoritarianism both create stability, but the space between them breeds danger.

Marche warns that America is slipping into that gray area. Do you think democracy can recover its balance?

Once violence begins, every attempt to control it makes it worse.

Stephen Marche’s take on modern unrest is unsettling, and maybe that’s the point.

What’s one thing that could still pull us back together?

Every doctor asks the same question, will the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program still exist when I finally qualify?

The answer: yes.

It’s been law for 18 years, and it’s not going anywhere.

Save this if PSLF is part of your plan.

For many physicians, student loans feel like a lifelong burden, $200K, $300K, even $400K deep.

But with a plan, that weight can turn into progress.

What you see on screen is never the full story.

Writers juggle deadlines, multiple episodes, and endless notes, which means some medical details get cut.

Save this if you’ve ever spotted an β€œoops” moment in a hospital show.

When doctors watch shows like Chicago Med or The Good Doctor, we see what’s off right away.

Dr. Oren Gottfried works behind the scenes to keep the medicine as accurate as possible, even under tight deadlines.

Would you want more realism in medical dramas, or do you prefer the drama?

Family physicians are trained to treat everyone, newborns, kids, and adults.
Internists? They’re focused only on adults.
The billing models don’t always match up, but the bigger question is: does narrowing care make sense when we’re talking about β€œprimary”?
