We have a real pharmacological intervention for one of the leading causes of chronic illness -- and yesterday the HHS had a summit about avoiding seed oils, harvesting all your health data, replacing internists with AI, etc.
Full Retatrutide phase 3 obesity data published today. It's gonna take a minute to fill dissect this. The appendix alone has 70 pages of data. Long story short we created a drug that's almost too good. Huge chunks of people stopped or reduced doses from excess weight reductions.

(There’s another, similar gap - menopause. Gyns mostly suck at it because there aren’t babies involved; gerontologists refuse to own it, internists reject it despite it being something more than half of their patients WILL experience.)

When chiropractors are saving the day for internists, internists need to try harder. And order the damn MRIs.

Also, changing internists, and can't get in until Nov (called late Aug) so no referral possible. Immunologist isn't allowed to refer for non-related. So GYN to the rescue.

This spring the residency program at my university >100 residents will complete their training; surgeons, internists, family medicine, radiologists, etc.
Each one will already be more qualified than Dr Means (who graduated medical school but never completed any residency)

Surgeon generals usually represent the very best of the medical community. Means isn’t even a part of it, by her own choosing.
The surgeon general has to be trustworthy. Casey Means is not. She should be rejected as Surgeon General.

By 2037, the US is expected to face a shortage of 187K physicians, including 87K primary care physicians like internists & pediatricians.
The Trump plan? Cut student loan programs for medical students and training programs for pediatricians. Rural communities will be especially affected.

I'm an RN in NW Indiana.
I'd love to make more, but my salary is pretty far down my list of beefs.
This is what really grinds on us:
- We're understaffed and are disciplined when we point out that we're understaffed.
- There appears to be pressure on internists to admit patients for, whatever.
