Follow the money on this one and I’’ll hazard you’ll find a wealthy benefactor/political donator parent of a CSA who also couldn’t get a residency position because better suited IMGs got placed ahead of them.

I must admit I’m enjoying all the #RFKjr takedowns floating around the net, but I am more encouraged that a brave congressperson has filed articles of impeachment against the man. The dude in charge of nat’l health policy is a mentally addled quack & his actions are gonna kill people & bring back #ChildhoodDiseases big time. After decades of #PublicHealth advances, we’re turning back the clock & rapidly losing ground. The #TrumpAdministration attack on #Medicaid makes things even worse. Rural hospitals are closing & what physicians are available are fleeing red states. We’re gonna look like a 3rd world country in the USA. Wait… we’re already there. #medicine #hospitals #HHS #clinics #RuralHealth

I believe an #introduction is in order.
I do #publichealth and #research. Specifically #ruralhealth. More specifically #HIV and #HCV. I left the other place some time ago for a mental health break.
