My favorite podcast voice has to be Laura Beil @LJBeil from Dr. Death.
lots of updates since I listened, so I’m restarting from the beginning. By myself, because it is too gruesome for the rest of the family. Chuckling at the idea of the hospital hiring a marketing guy for the new spine surgeon (they can’t run psychiatrists out fast enough)
Wonder if my dad heard this story when my mom was getting spinal surgery he asked me to research the doctor and dig up any dirt I could find. (Well trained surgeon and everything went great fortunately)
They are making a TV series with Alec Baldwin, Joshua Jackson, and Christian Slater! (They better have good southern and Texas accents)

Anniversary of me taking this pic of my kid’s food and sending it to my medical friends “what the hell is this?”
In another few weeks it would look like this, and the second kid came to me with similar but milder toe findings, and we all figured out we’d probably had COVID about 8 weeks after the fact. 🤷🏻♀️ #covidtoes
Subsequent derm papers showed actual virus particles in the small vessels in the feet of similar patients, also patterns of type 1 interferonopathy vasculitis.
When I came downstairs my husband was watching Altered Carbon season 1...and can I just thank the nutritionist, chef, make-up and personal trainer on this show because everyone is so gorgeous.
Forgot how great this show was. Never watched season 2 because I was afraid it wouldn’t hold up.
Usually Vanilla comes up around midnight and jumps up to sleep at the foot of the bed. Last night there was a whole pack of coyotes howling in the back and she slept curled up tight to my side after she was done barking at them.
I can tell you there is almost no possibility all long Covid cases can be attributed to psychogenic factors. I know Alan likes to be kind and tolerant to discussion but GTFOOH
I see psychogenic physical symptoms all the time. I went to med school due to an interest in this, my supervisor in residency was a Harvard Professor due to his research as a world expert in psychogenic manifestations of illness.
I am referred complex cases specifically due to my expertise in this area.
We fired Cigna because they often refused to pay claims, and we would get checks from them for 4 cents interest on delayed payments of claims because they lost a lawsuit. They would spend 40 cents on a stamp to send us a 4 cent check.
