Pediatrician for almost 30 years, now retired so I can contribute to giving my grandkids and dog a better quality of life. In favor of democracy, civil rights, vaccines, cookies and mystery novels.

Hmmm. I’m over 60 but attended with teen niece and nephew and my daughter and her husband in their 20s and 3 yo grandson so…no!

No kings in Anchorage! 3 yo grandson with both his paternal and maternal (me)grandmas 💕. He also had his own sign that said “no kings, yes kisses” but had to borrow mine periodically so he could yell “quack!”.

This administration has killed the concept of irony.

“Under babied “ should be reserved for when you’re feeling under the weather and people don’t fuss over you properly!

Hmmm. Pediatricians take Tricare and I can guarantee you don’t want us taking care of the adults at the VA 😳

Is there a particular reason you’re taking health advice from your sister?

True but this is an addition to the standard medical curriculum and some of the best physicians I’ve known were DOs. Criticize the BS of this summary (ECG now has crystal ball function and reads your age?) but it’s not because the writer is a DO.

I am am MD and can assure you that DOs have equivalent training including the same residency training. NOT the same as ND (naturopath), DC(chiropractor) or NP (nurse practitioner). DOs are physicians and have the same qualifications as MDs.

Reading US news on a visit to Canada is even more surreal. Which city is being invaded this week? We’re arresting toddlers? Which political opponent is being indicted? And Canadians are just up here living in a normal democracy like it’s 2024 or something.

Seemed so much less controversial then, though!
