Again, this is not true. Contrary to public misperception the final reader on every scan performed in the US is a US licensed and US board certified radiologist (uncommonly, preliminary afterhours reads in some hospitals are done overseas)

Literally none of this is true. 1. Cancer staging scans are not being sent to India to be read - in general you cannot bill for reads performed outside the US 2. Scans cannot be read independently by AI 3. Hospitals are typically open on the weekend

This happened because a radiologist is working their ass off to get cancer scans read at 11 pm on a Friday before the weekend and it is Federal law that results are immediately available to the patient in the electronic record
Healthcare is the only industry that drops your cancer scan results into an app at 11 PM on a Friday, then closes for the weekend. No call. No context. Just a PDF full of words like "suspicious" and "cannot be excluded" and a little banner that says "Sleep well!" Meanwhile billing found me in 4 hours 😐

Making a call-out post about my cat. During my virtual therapy, he climbed up onto my chest, face so close his nose was touching my lips, and this guy sneezes into my open mouth as I'm talking. He is unsanitary and doesn't respect personal space. Cancelled and stinky

£4.30 for lamb kofte and chips at Wrexham. Can't fault the price. The presentation, on the other hand, needs a serious rethink.

Trump says that if Republicans lose in North Carolina he will use the power of his office to deny US Marine Corps veterans’ claims for medical treatment for cancer and other life threatening diseases resulting from decades of water contamination by toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Without further information about this situation I find it hard to believe that this was the actual medical advice given
How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

“It's easy to criticize something that happened 7 months ago,” says the guy who - in this same interview - blamed the economy on Joe Biden, who left office 2 years ago.
JD Vance: "I see what Abdul El-Sayed says about the war in Iran. I see him criticizing decisions the president has made, the military has made. But fundamentally we are where we are. In my view, I'd like to know what's Abdul El-Sayed's solution for the problem we have right now? It's easy to criticize something that happened 7 months ago."
