Burnout in #healthcare isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a crisis.
Long hours. Endless screens. Constant pressure. Clinicians are exhausted, and it’s costing lives.

It’s time to listen, support & rebuild a system that cares for the people who care for us. #Medsky #burnout #physicians #nurses

This is ridiculous and reflects how the longevity craze is out of control
"The new bill was drafted and lobbied for by people interested in extending human lifespans—a group of longevity enthusiasts that includes scientists, libertarians, and influencers."

The first US hub for experimental medical treatments is coming

Montana just passed a new bill backed by longevity enthusiasts that will enable access to drugs and therapies that are not approved by the FDA.

You’re going to die one day, and none of this is going to matter. So enjoy yourself. Do something positive. Project some love. Make someone happy. Laugh a little bit. Appreciate the moment. And do your work.
