There are no amps loud enough to honor this rock legend.
To the spouses who found out they were being cheated on via the Coldplay jumbotron: sorry to hear that. Come see Spinal Tap. We promise no jumbotrons, just ear damage and emotional closure.
Guy w a cotton candy degree from a school w a 96% acceptance rate who also uses politics to social climb in the DNC, provides something above and beyond his typical ludicrous takes. (Alas he’s also from Tennessee….)
Biden had spinal arthritis—a common condition—that slightly affected his gait. The media ran wild, insinuating Parkinson’s, demanding tests, neurologist visits, and full transparency. Now Trump has a confirmed diagnosis of a serious vascular disease—a literal risk to heart and…
This thread is a beautiful depiction of what the art of medicine is. Nuance, practical, thoughtful – anything but dogmatic. My 2 cents: L4 corpectomy via anterior retroperitoneal approach and PSF (assuming a seasoned access surgeon is amenable).
73 yo F with what started as an L4 compression fracture. Multiple procedures at outside hospital including a cement augmentation, lami, pedicle screw fixation, removal, and spinal cord stimulator. On Forteo 2 yrs. Back and leg pain, 4/5 in b/l dorsiflexion. What’s your plan?
Prior auth is the scam that keeps on paying. In this week’s Doctor’s Lounge, we talk surgical emergencies delayed by bureaucracy, Ai algorithms denying care, and why 66% of employers could kill prior auth, but don’t. We also ask the uncomfortable question: Did the previous…

Can someone explain to me why they hate NPR so much?
Welcome to the free markets @NPR. (Absolute banger of a post btw.)
A new poll finds 40% of respondents believe in a baseless conspiracy theory that the coronavirus was created in a lab in China. There is zero evidence for this. Scientists say the virus was transmitted to humans from another species. trib.al/m0pJe4b
You've all been bashing Trump for 10 solid years. Which is fine, mazel tov, but you're not martyrs just because nobody wants to watch it anymore.
"Oh no. Not my tote bags...."
I'll join NPR's Up First and Morning Edition tomorrow AM to sort through this historic moment.
Congrats to this future neurosurgeon on finishing his post baccalaureate program at @GeisingerHealth . Med school is next. Defy expectations. Laugh at the odds. Make it happen. @Kaustov10
"I think I just saw a funnel cloud. Quick, honey, turn on NPR!" NPR: "David is an artist who lives in Nebraska with his two husbands. Here's why he fears deportation..."
Amy Klobuchar fearmongers: People will not get alerts for natural disasters without PBS and NPR!
consider yourself very lucky to get these calls
Two guys who have never held real jobs but manage to have multiple homes.
Had a great meeting with @ZohranKMamdani and am deeply impressed by the grassroots campaign he is running. The Oligarchs are prepared to undermine democracy & spend tens of millions to buy the election for his opponents. We will not allow that to happen. Stand with Zohran.
