"Medicine demands physicians be invulnerable."

"The system lacks mechanisms to accommodate chronically ill physicians."

"If medicine cannot accommodate physicians disabled by the pandemic they fought, it will never truly serve disabled patients."

I developed Long COVID while practicing medicine. The system had no place for me. - The Sick Times

I was three hours into my internal medicine ward call when the brain fog descended like a curtain dropping mid-performance.

@maxleibman He doesn’t even have 1 trillion dollars - it is fake - he owns business A - valued at $1B - but he has leveraged it all to use the money to buy business B - valued at $999M and so it goes. The loans are paid from the operating profits which is why profit margins have to be so big now - to give him a cut above the loan payments from each of his businesses - but the businesses are hollow. A trillion dollars doesn’t exist!

Musk has now hoarded $1 Trillion—making him the greediest hoarder on all Earth. To put that obnoxious amount of hoarding in perspective:
•1M seconds from now is in 11 days
•1B seconds from now is in 32 years
•1T seconds from now is in 32,000 years

This isn’t “hard work.” It’s greed and exploitation. Tax billionaires & trillionaires out of existence. Protect working people. Save our society.
