I am encountering yet more men on testosterone having huge heart attacks. Bear in mind I’m only on call 1/12th of the time (ie my rota has 12 consultants) and yet I’ve now seen 5 men in the last couple of months who’ve had STEMIs in their 40s and 50s. All very fit and *externally* in great shape

The article is worse than the headline suggests. I am trying to avoid American politics online but as the brother of someone like this, this story really upset me. The idea of him being separated from his mother for 54 days, seeing her only 3 times, facing emergency surgery alone, is heartbreaking
Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.
