Signing Correa to his first Twins contract gave the fan base hope that the team would consider superstars, spend more than the bare minimum, and finally slay the big market teams. In 2023, the team finally won a playoff series. In less than two years, that hope is crushed.

Or c. diff joining forces with sepsis.
RFK Jr endorsing Trump is like E. coli endorsing diarrhea.

Concrete is indeed incredible. But it has a HUGE downfall: Climate impact. Concrete is TERRIBLE for the environment because it takes tremendous energy to manufacture cement, the glue that holds it together. Concrete is one of the single greatest contributors to climate change.
It sounds like a boring topic, but concrete is one of the most revolutionary inventions in history. For example, concrete now weighs more than everything else humans have ever made combined. So here's the story of how it has changed the world, for better and for worse...

There’s a special place in hell for insurance administrators who require prior authorizations every time a patient changes dose on the same medication.

Passive-aggression caused him to be traded? Give credit where credit is due: He learned from the best during his time in Minnesota. #vikings #bills #diggs #nfl

Back in 2009, I drove a limo bus with AP’s family to and from a Vikings game. After the game, I dropped off the family at AP’s house in Eden Prairie and he gave me a $700 tip. I guess that’s part of how he went broke.
Sports Illustrated estimated that 80% of NFL players go broke in their first three years out of the league. Adrian Peterson is no exception. Adrian earned $103 million during his NFL career, and remains the highest-earning running back in NFL history. But Adrian got caught up in the image and lifestyle the NFL provides. He is allegedly broke, with debts that he is struggling to pay back due to… • financial fraud • luxurious lifestyle • lavish 30th birthday party The lesson? Wealth that comes quick goes the same way.

Right. And insurance negotiated rates are only the best price half of the time. Why not ask around for cash prices at the places where you actually want to get your care? I wrote about this topic: sensiblementalhealth.com/whe…

I have many patients who are running into problems with stimulant shortages (still). Walgreens and CVS are terrible for consistent supply and communication with clients. What are the options for mail order pharmacies for CII meds? #MedTwitter #ADHD #stimulants #pharmacy

"[Wegovy/Ozempic/Mounjaro] doesn't work because if you stop it, the weight comes back." If you stop lisinopril your blood pressure goes up. If you stop metformin your blood sugar goes up. If you stop atorvastatin your cholesterol goes up. Reframe your thinking.

I’m no Emmer fan, but why do his colleagues think their leader should agree with them on every vote in order to be Speaker?
Chairman McCaul says at Emmer’s request, members who have an issue with him are going up the the mics. McCaul says he is responding. (Emmer has taken some votes that some Rs strongly disagree with)
