When you have a Nor'easter coming through, have to move your usually drive-through #flu #vaccine clinic inside, and need a sign that won't blow over!

A big thanks to all of my patients who came by to get protected!

This has been incredibly irritating. People who qualify for GLP-1 medication due to things like diabetes

*don't qualify*

for the pilot program and end up paying a lot more than $50/month.

Medicare's pilot GLP-1 discount program has a catch. Some sick patients don't qualify
Medicare launched a pilot program that could streamline the process to get GLP-1s, with some seniors paying just $50 a month. But many people with the most serious illnesses won't get that discount.

$1.04 TRILLION
in savings...
*per year.*

A ~20% discount off of American healthcare costs per @yalesph.bsky.social estimates. What would you do if your healthcare was 20% cheaper?

Oh, here we go, busta! They don’t want no scrubs in my American clinic either. Total ban on scrubs. A ban that can’t get no love from me. Nothing like lancing an abscess in a sweater dress! To paraphrase TLC, looking like class goes to looking like trash.

I get these requests. Testosterone is rarely the problem.

"Mayerson estimates that only 20% of patients who have come to him asking about testosterone therapy met the Endocrine Society’s threshold for low testosterone."

More CT residents are taking testosterone
Androgen prescriptions in Connecticut have increased by 63% over the past three years — and endocrinologists say most are going to men.
