  • It really does though. Medicine is far too siloed and far more specialized now days than most people realize. This makes it nearly impossible for someone to really be able to determine medical necessity outside of their specialty. I would never trust a surgeon on endocrine issues or an emergency physician on primary care. The skill set and knowledge is just so wildly different.

    There is a reason physicians are trying to get laws passed that would require peer to peers be conducted by people in the same specialty.






  • They are cutting some truly useful majors here. Women’s, critical race, and social justice studies are all fantastic foundations for social work and HR. HIT and health communications are very in demand and are only going to increase as our population ages. Really though, none of these are really truly useless. I’m in medicine and the best doctors and nurses are those that have non traditional backgrounds, those that did social sciences in undergrad on top of their prereqs all seem to have an easier time with the critical thinking required by the job. Florida is really intentionally destroying an entire generation’s future.




  • Its crazy how much leeway he is getting. Back during the Bush years a guy in my town had a hang bush sign on a cardboard cutout of him hanging from a tree. The dude was arrested and held for “terrorist threats.” The same was not true of similar threats made toward Obama. This was in liberal western Washington. The fascists have always gotten handled with kid gloves in this country and it seriously needs to be addressed if we have any hope of coming out the other side.
