With the #measlesoutbreak in Texas, I’m looking to speak with physicians about measles and other “historic” diseases resurfacing.
Younger docs, have you seen measles before (or trained for it)? Older docs, when was your last case?

I almost never do cutesy fluff stories but I thought more people needed to know about this lovely corner of the internet where people believe in the American Dream and post pizza pics when they make it happen. Bonus: I got the concept of "enshittify" into USA Today.
