It really does though. Medicine is far too siloed and far more specialized now days than most people realize. This makes it nearly impossible for someone to really be able to determine medical necessity outside of their specialty. I would never trust a surgeon on endocrine issues or an emergency physician on primary care. The skill set and knowledge is just so wildly different.

There is a reason physicians are trying to get laws passed that would require peer to peers be conducted by people in the same specialty.

Lots of them definitely are. I'm noticed a lot more Texan transplants up in WA over the last few years than in the last 3 decades I've lived here.

No they don't, when you include Islamic attacks (which are absolutely right wing as they are religious authoritarian extremists) the number jumps to 96%.

Yeah, actively trying to eradicate is not what I'd call "indifferent."

Which is frankly terrifying. ER docs are only required to do 10 deliveries during residency, which are often as glorified observers. I did nearly 100 deliveries in my rural unopposed FM residency and that was no where near enough to feel comfortable making it a part of my practice.

So, yes, they are going to set records.

They are cutting some truly useful majors here. Women's, critical race, and social justice studies are all fantastic foundations for social work and HR. HIT and health communications are very in demand and are only going to increase as our population ages. Really though, none of these are really truly useless. I'm in medicine and the best doctors and nurses are those that have non traditional backgrounds, those that did social sciences in undergrad on top of their prereqs all seem to have an easier time with the critical thinking required by the job. Florida is really intentionally destroying an entire generation's future.

Considering I took a suspension for "report abuse/harassment" for reporting someone threatening violence against trans people before I left reddit I think they are intentionally trying to encourage bigotry on the platform.

I don't, it was back in like 2002-3 and the local paper doesn't have their archives up anymore. He ended up having the charges dropped, but months later.

Its crazy how much leeway he is getting. Back during the Bush years a guy in my town had a hang bush sign on a cardboard cutout of him hanging from a tree. The dude was arrested and held for "terrorist threats." The same was not true of similar threats made toward Obama. This was in liberal western Washington. The fascists have always gotten handled with kid gloves in this country and it seriously needs to be addressed if we have any hope of coming out the other side.

There are like 2 station wagons on the US market. I'd love one, but I'm not into VWs and the Volvo PHEV wagon is only available as a $75,000 performance wagon and no one makes an EV wagon.

It really is. <1-2% of people de transition and of that over 90% cite bigotry and transphobia as the reason. So, 1/1000 to 1/500 is pretty fucking rare. Medical interventions are recommended based on number needed to treat, stains for heart attack need to treat 60 people to prevent one person having a heart attack, for strokes is 238. The NNT for trans people is 1, transition is literally the best supported and effective treatment in medicine.

It’s super variable. Travel nurses in OB at my hospital were making $225 an hour. This was in rural CA where the average nurse made low $100k a year though. Some in red states are still in the $50k range though.
