Someone asked me yesterday how can I keep going and keep doing and keep putting myself out there, and the answer is that I make myself believe that the ending is always subject to change. Just because something went poorly the first time doesn’t mean it will go poorly every time.

My friend told me she always bakes muffins with her leftover cranberry sauce, and I was amazed that had never occurred to me.
So I looked up a recipe for cranberry coffee cake. Will be trying that tomorrow.

I adore all pharmacists, but when I’m on vacation and get off the plane sick, need medications that don’t interact with my regimen and don’t speak the language, I appreciate their patience and help even more.

Doctor here. Her story is that of tens of thousands of Americans.
Another example: When Chad Boseman was diagnosed with advanced colon cancer, his 5 yr survival was <14%: he died in 2020. Today his 5 yr survival would be >55%. So tragic.
RFK Jr HALTED PROGRESS.

I never imagined that saying hi to people at work was controversial until my current job. Three plus years, and when I say hi to colleagues when I run into them around the hospital, they sometimes literally scowl and sneer at me. Imagine having that big of a stick up your 🍑😆
