In high school I did a summer program in a laboratory at a local hospital. The other high school student in the lab was an African American woman who was far smarter and motivated than I will ever be. I had a 10 minute walk to the lab from my house and she had to take the train for over an hour to get there. I thought…

The newsworthy part is that he didn’t insist on having the black person be the one getting moved. White people willing to be mildly inconvenienced to avoid sitting next to black people!

I have had several hours of training on how to appropriately code my visits for billing (including feedback on my actual clinic notes and bills), and still have no idea what I’m doing. It’s incredibly complex, and you can easily spend more time thinking about how to bill properly than you actually spend thinking about…

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

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…

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

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

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…

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

She’s a 43 year old getting a PhD in Philosophy after already getting a JD. So I guess it’s not a problem that this case will never let her get a job, since she clearly isn’t interested in being a productive member of society.

The American Nazi definition of “dapper” is not having a chewing tobacco and grease stain on your wifebeater that kind of look like Robert Lee if you squint really hard. 

I’m going to start taking bets on what Trump’s proposed solution will be:

I’m guessing the shoplifter was black, so the cops really had to get him

They’re just huge fans of Man in the High Castle!

I just knew Biden would be the candy corn. One of my former very old and very white bosses used to bring candy corn for the office every Monday. Nobody in the office really had any beef with the candy corn, but nobody really ever wanted to eat it, much less eat it weekly. But the boss would get really upset if the…

It’s getting really hard to keep track of who is trying the hardest to out-Jets the Jets. Maybe we need to start awarding points in categories such as “medical and front office staff trying to incapacitate players”, “on-field fuckery”, “coaching hijinks”, etc

These leagues also don’t have the best track record on solvency or paying costs of medical injuries, so you’re basically beating up your body for jack shit and no guarantees of anything. It’s built entirely on exploiting desperate and deluded people

The problem is that the people doing the coding usually have no medical experience, and certainly no background knowledge of healthcare disparities. There’s a very small pool of people that are knowledgable about both medical care and computer systems. There have been discussions about using current MD/PhD combined…

Ugh. The issue with using AI or machine learning systems for stuff like that is that they learn from existing datasets. There are tons of studies showing how biased the medical system is against people of color, so now you’re just having a machine learn the institutional racism to propagate it in a fancier way.
