I was asked what I thought about homeopathy. There's what it is, why it's pseuodoscience, and my take on the whole thing. No background music for this to make it extra serious!

"After seven days of listening to more than 160 girls, women and parents describe the impact of his sexual abuse, disgraced gymnastics physician Larry Nassar turned to the courtroom Wednesday and quietly attempted an apology, saying, "There are no words that can describe the depth and breadth for how sorry I am for what has occurred."

Then Judge Rosemarie Aquilina read from a letter Nassar wrote last week in which he expressed very different sentiments. In the letter, Nassar complained about the length of his sentencing hearing, maintained that his touching of patients was legitimate medical therapy and termed some of the alleged victims' accounts "fabricated." As Aquilina read excerpts, some in the courtroom gasped.

"My treatments worked, and those patients that are now speaking out were the same ones that praised me," Aquilina said as she read Nassar's words. ". . . The media convinced them that everything I did was wrong and bad. . . . Hell hath no fury like a

Patient care is exactly that — caring for a person and their health. It can involve diagnosis, counselling, vaccinating, suturing, bandaging, and more fun stuff.Children dreaming of being a healthcare professional lust about performing these tasks. And who can blame them? Just watch House, M.D.Media has completely romanticized the profession. The glamour of saving lives and making a difference has overshadowed the reality.The reality is only 30% of healthcare is patient care.What’s the rest? Paperwork, public payers, private payers, customer service, bureaucracy, hiring, firing, taxes, and policies. There’s too much to list.Point is, the other 70% of the job is shit. No more shitty than other jobs, but other jobs aren’t glamorized quite the same either.The difference between expectation and reality is what shocks most new graduates. It’s what causes job dissatisfaction, depression, and misery. The only way to remedy this is through education.Before your kid jum

Did you hear about the newest app for sex? Your bio specifies more intimate information like STD status, condom use, anal, and etc. It's controversial but possibly necessary. Tell me how you feel.

1 in 5 women have been raped. 1 in 15 for men. It's a common and scary thing with a lot of health consequences. This ranges from mental health (anxiety, depression, PTSD) and physical health (genital trauma, gastrointestinal diseases, STD, HIV). We NEED to talk about this. Thank you OPRAH for the awesome speech!

Why are you afraid to die?

Is it because there’s so much you haven’t done? So much you haven’t seen? What about being a billionaire or celebrity?

Whatever it may be, these patients have already had their shot at achieving those things.

There isn’t much on their bucket list they can check off in their remaining time.

On top of that, aging is a cruel and slow process.

Hypertension at 30. Arthritis at 40. Diabetes at 50. Incontinence at 60. Dementia at 70.

They’ve accepted that their time is coming.

Not everyone feels the same though.

I’ve seen patients terrified.

But only for a moment. Stepping into the unknown is scary for many.

A common sign of fear is last minute baptisms. A Hail Mary, perhaps.

A religious patient can be afraid too. Heaven is not guaranteed.

“Why aren’t old people afraid to die?”

When you’ve been weak and without purpose for the past 20 years, would you call that living?

Many don’t.
