I read many stupid things every day, some of them even from smart people who are saying intelligent things as well. An example of a stupid thing I often see is some sort of kneejerk statement about Trump being a … Continue reading →
Everything falls before the almighty DEI deity. It’s more important that doctors fit the proper woke demographics than that they be competent, although I don’t think the public was consulted on the question: Long considered one of the best medical … Continue reading →
