Public hearings will begin next week in Puerto Rico about a bill in the Senate to ban conversion therapy forever. Presently, conversion therapy is banned by an executive order signed by fmr. Gov @ricardorossello. Here’s what leading medical associations says about that therapy👇🏻
The American Academy of child and adolescent psychiatry finds “no evidence to support the application of any “therapeutic intervention” operating under the premise that a specific sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression is pathological...”
“...Furthermore, based on scientific evidence, the AACAP asserts that such “conversion therapies” (or other interventions imposed with the intent of promoting a particular sexual orientation and/or gender as a preferred outcome) lack scientific credibility & clinical utility...”

The moment a Sacramento, CA. judge was about to start the traffic trial of the defendant (Dr. Scott Green) who was in the operating room, helping to operate on a patient, when he jumped on zoom to be present for his trial. The judge wasn’t having any of it
I would love to interview the patient on the operating table. If you know them, my DMs are open.
You have to wonder how this doctor didn’t think he’d get into trouble. Not with the judge, but the California medial board.

I just found out about the story yesterday.
10-year-old Victor Peterzen was hit by a Jeep driver in Houston six months ago and he died because of it.

Nothing.
I’m asking why, starting with @houstonpolice.
“Victor was riding northbound on Maux Street when he failed to yield the right-of-way at a stop sign and was struck by the Jeep traveling westbound on Knoboak Drive, according to the Houston Police Department,” reports the Houston Chronicle. houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-t…
The Chronicle also noted that the case was going to be presented to a grand jury because it involved a juvenile.

This was the moment South Dakota’s attorney General was told that the face of the man he hit and killed actually came through his windshield to the point where investigators say the victim’s glasses were found in the attorney generals car. The AG insists: he thought he hit a deer
Journalists at the @Argus911 watched 2 interrogation videos with the AG and did a nice job breaking some key moments
