I have a background in molecular biology and am a practicing hematologist/oncologist, so I get to deal with this shit a good amount. I don’t object to genetic testing - I’ve taken part in several large studies on genetics of cholesterol and high blood pressure, and I do genetic testing on my patients on a very routine…

That’s why the children in the ICE cages aren’t provided bedding. Gotta keep them safe from feather duvet lung

When you eat nothing but well done hamburgers, eventually your intestines just give up and you start needing intervention just to poop

Acanthosis nigricans is also commonly associated with hormonal problems like diabetes, but if you have a patient with it without a clear explanation, you definitely have to think about some underlying cancer. 

He’s white and committed a white collar crime. He will get a stern talking to or at worst might get a Epstein type deal where he gets work release during the day to go sit in his nice office. 

There are plenty of people who have small cheaper cars when they’re young and upgrade once they have kids/pets/money. There are lots of people who like to stick with a brand they’re happy with. This is one of those things where they want short-term profit margins to get better to meet investor goals, rather than…

We use a lot of formaldehyde in the lab. It’s pretty noxious and can definitely give you headaches and make you feel shitty, plus the whole carcinogen thing. We have to use even small amounts inside specially ventilated hoods, and dispose of the remains and any plastics that hold formaldehyde in special waste (so that…

Religious organizations have no business running hospitals. Science-based treatments should not be guided or impeded by what the magic man in the sky may or may not have said

The problem is that a lot of those 34 million people (and many others) just don’t care. The right has done a good job of selling the “even if you don’t have insurance, you’ll still be able to get the care you need” and “you have great insurance, don’t let the socialists take it away and make it like Canada” bullshit.…

Waiting for a presidential tweet about “fine people on both sides” of the racist coup

I’m going to guess you didn’t get the job. Because the right answer is “I learned that if I have people murdered, it should never be traced back to me or the company that employs me”

You probably can’t just obviously throw a game to him, because then you get murdered and dismembered for dishonoring him or something. I would probably play it safe and focus my draft on getting the entire Miami or Washington lineup. Then just pretend really hard that for some reason you’re a huge fan of that team…

I’m sure a lot of people care about Mohammad Bin Salman’s fantasy team. Everyone in his league probably just drafts an entire team of kickers and Dolphins players. Deadspin would probably do an amazing profile of that fantasy league, RIP

We really shouldn’t judge the Saudis too harshly. Who among us hasn’t accidentally ordered someone’s murder and dismemberment while trying to make a fantasy football trade. It’s probably all autocorrect’s fault

I really don’t get minority people who are Republican (and that includes my Jewish family members). Are the low taxes, Jesus hugs, and other Right-wing issues really important enough to outweigh having to deal with people who at best only tolerate your existence and generally actively seek to minimize your rights and…

SoftBank and the Vision Fund would use profitability as its main metric for valuating companies

“It is also really important that anyone who thinks they might have worms in their eye should go and see a qualified medical doctor for help,”

Is the gynecologist R. Kelly? Because to any real doctor this would be some legitimate red flag parent behavior

I’m guessing it’s targeted toward people who have no idea what this backhaul thing is or why they should care. It’s a shame, as it probably wouldn’t increase the cost too much to have either an additional wireless channel or ethernet available for those who would use it, and would make it a lot more attractive to…

My entire family is firmly in the Apple ecosystem and we want none of this action. Honestly I’m not sure who this is for.
