Lions fans laughed at the Bears for getting diced up by Bryce Young Week 1

My dream Gen X retirement community isn't a golf course or a luxury resort. It's a fully renovated 80s/90s shopping mall. Half the building is apartments. The other half looks exactly like the mall we grew up in. The Waldenbooks is now a massive library where you can spend hours getting lost in books. The food court is part of your meal plan, so you can grab an Orange Julius, a slice of pizza, Chinese food, or sit down for a proper meal at Shoney's whenever you want. The movie theater plays classics every night. The arcade is free and packed with Pac-Man, Galaga, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, and every cabinet game we spent our allowance on. Sam Goody is still there. You can browse CDs, listen to Bowie, The Ramones, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or whatever you love. They even host monthly dance nights for anyone who still remembers MTV when it actually played music. The Sharper Image has massage chairs you can reserve whenever your back reminds you that you're no longer 25. The pharmacy is still an Eckerds. Blockbuster is fully operational. You can rent movies, video games, and spend 30 minutes wandering the aisles before choosing something you'll probably fall asleep watching. There's an aerobics studio offering Tae-Bo, Richard Simmons, MTV's The Grind workouts, and every fitness craze we survived the first time around. There are fountains everywhere, a lazy river because we've earned it, and plenty of benches where people can sit and talk instead of staring at their phones. Every morning we go mall walking before the stores "open." Every evening we meet friends at the food court. No algorithms. No endless scrolling. No influencers. Just books, music, movies, arcades, friends, nostalgia, and the feeling that for a few hours, it's 1995 again. Honestly, I'd put my name on the waiting list today.

Which house are you choosing?

There is a rhythm to medicine. You’re first exposed to it in med school. The Patient, presenting with the Problem, and then the search for the Path forward. Like the rhythmic thumps and pauses of a heartbeat. Sometimes flowing, sometimes stopping and starting jarringly. 1/

False dichotomy here. I do not know a single physician that doesn’t believe in the power of nutrition and exercise. The problem is that people- not doctors- want “quick fixes” Try going after the “Supplement Industry” -with no evidence behind what they do - instead. I refer to RD’s every single clinic. Our patients, unfortunately, usually cannot get it paid for.

sadly this is not the worst cpr i have seen

QB Caleb Williams made it clear that his priority is to make sure his future extension doesn’t stop the Bears from building a championship level roster 👀: “Money’s not a motivating factor for me….If I wanted to be done today, I’d be fine…That’s not my motivation. Winning, winning, winning handles everything...so that’s where my mind’s at.” “The most important thing is being able to make sure when I do get my contract that we can keep winning, that we can keep progressing as a team. That’s my biggest goal….Yes, it’s going to help me, but how can it keep us steady and be able to keep winning games, because that’s most important to me.” via @Suntimes

Fun fact: Dolly Parton used the royalties from Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I Will Always Love You” to support a Black neighborhood, and support Black owned businesses. "I bought my big office complex down in Nashville. So I thought, 'Well, this is a wonderful place to be,'" Parton said. "I bought a property down in what was the Black area of town, and it was mostly just Black families and people that lived around there. It was off the beaten path from 16th Avenue and I thought, 'Well, I am gonna buy this place — the whole strip mall.' And I thought, 'This is the perfect place for me to be,' considering it was Whitney. I thought this was great — I'm just gonna be down here with her people, who are my people as well," she continued. "So I just love the fact that I spent that money on a complex and I think, 'This is the house that Whitney built.' "

People who don’t know the difference between ‘entomology’ and ‘etymology’ bug us in ways we cannot put into words.

Without googling, name an athlete who wore number 24.

It is permissible in English for a preposition to be what you end a sentence with. The idea that it should be avoided came from writers who were trying to align the language with Latin, but there is no reason to suggest ending a sentence with a preposition is wrong.

I trained in a residency program without fellows, and we consulted subspecialists when something was truly beyond the scope of general internal medicine. Our attendings expected us to build a strong foundation and make decisions grounded in that knowledge. That foundation has served me throughout my career, and I sometimes find it surprising how often we now consult for problems that most internists should be comfortable managing. Atrial fibrillation in sepsis. Community-acquired meningitis. Many of these situations benefit more from thoughtful generalist care than an automatic specialty consult. I remember one of my first ICU admissions as a fellow in Seattle. The diagnosis was classic Pneumocystis pneumonia in a patient with advanced HIV. We discussed why he needed TMP-SMX, when steroids were indicated, and what to expect clinically. The immediate question from the residents was, “When do we consult ID?” My response was, “For what?” If the consult is to help with ART planning and longitudinal HIV care, absolutely. If it’s because we’re uncomfortable treating a textbook presentation ourselves, that’s a different issue. I worry we’ve gradually trained generations of physicians to seek subspecialty input before they’re comfortable applying their own knowledge. Some of that is appropriate because medicine is more complex than ever. Some is driven by fear, culture, or medicolegal concerns. But there is a cost. The best subspecialists are built on a strong foundation in general internal medicine. If trainees never develop the confidence to manage common problems independently, we risk weakening the very foundation that makes excellent specialists possible.
