Glad the medical community is finally catching up and realizing that all the people who have spent years trying to get help aren't just attention seeking hypochondriacs who "‘don’t have anything’ or that they have ‘functional neurological disorder.’" In a decade, it'll seem like an obvious dx.

"COVID pandemic brought a surge of more patients with POTS & infection-associated chronic illness. What had once felt like a rare or niche diagnosis now seemed to be everywhere, impossible to ignore"

Overheard someone use whom in an attempt to sound more intelligent, but then used it improperly. Guess that didn't really work out for them.

Wondering if we had the same geography teacher.
Me and my friend Rich used to randomly slip the words “submissive pelicans” (a Laser Eraser & Pressbutton reference) into our Geography homework, to see if our teacher was actually *reading* it when he marked it.

Spoiler: he wasn’t. He never once noticed.

Noah Wyle didn't want to play a doctor again after his 15 years on "ER." Then came COVID and "The Pitt."

Been reading a little mythology and it seems like one of the main cross-cultural themes is, “do not, under any circumstances, get on a boat.”

If you ask a kid with a head cold to sound out a word to try to spell it before you give them the correct spelling you are doing great work to "subbort" them.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

I can't remember where I saw this, but it stuck with me:

If your goal is to maximize happiness in the world, remember that your happiness counts in that equation.
