UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

Literally every #hospital in the country works with undocumented #immigrants and #transgender people. So basically no #healthcare worker will get #PSLF ever again.
Employees of organizations that work with illegal immigrants or “transition children” will no longer qualify for loan forgiveness after 10 years of payments.

Today was one of those no good, horrible, very bad days.
But then, one of my patients with severe dementia slow-danced with his wife and I cried tears of joy.
This job is so hard and so beautiful at the same time.

Absurd (but believable) findings in this paper from Charles Jiang & team at UTSW: >70% of Medicare Advantage & independent part D plans require prior auths for... zofran. And costs for it on those those plans are 4x more than if patients paid cash.

And yet there’s no recommended universal screening.
Wonder how different things would be if it predominantly affected males?!
