Phobia!
As a fourth-year medical student, I’ve learned plenty about caring for patients with common illnesses and injuries. But as a native of fire-ravaged Northern California, and a student in Pennsylvania - where I hear regularly about communities torn apart by the natural gas industry - I can’t help but worry about my ability to care for my patients in an age of climate change.
“I would be worried if you were my Doctor....”
I’ll have to remember that name. That’s one doctor I would trust to have my well being at heart.
Good grief how did she get into medical school!
There's up to 20% higher mortality when there's a bad strain of flu. Otherwise just 10% higher mortality in winter.
“We know that climate change is real, manmade, and accelerating far beyond what researchers originally predicted. It’s not up for debate.”
Why because you, not yet a doctor, said so?
And while I’m asking, other than an unfortunate explosion how is it that “communities torn apart by the natural gas industry” ?
Please, please don’t do your residency at my institution, I’m beggin ya.
You're going to find yourself living like Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and handing your patients leeches for their cancer. All so the sea levels in Guam don't go up a 16th of an inch.
I believe there was an Ice Age or two, various plagues, petulance's, and other unpleasantness's.
“I can’t help but worry about my ability to care for my patients in an age of climate change.”
Get help you sick assholette.
Oh, good grief, just help people feel better ....you f'in virtue-signalling a-holes.
Sorry Autumn, but you and others did indeed create this pending catastrophe (your words - not mine), not the greedy oil companies who met the demands of consumers. One of those demands was to provide healthcare providers essential tools to correctly diagnose the problems patients were experiencing.
So far there is no concrete evidence to even support that a coming catastrophe is coming due to man's influence upon earth's warming. The warming has been a long term trend that began well before man' industrialization.
Signs actually point to a possible end of the warming trend. These signs are not the product of failed models that in no way represent what is actually occurring. The models you hold ear & dear have already proven themselves to be useless as a tool to determine the actual science behind the warming trend the earth has experienced over the last 11,700 years since the last ice age referred to as the Pleistocene Epoch came to a close.
Quit worrying about forces of which you have no control, and concentrate on learning what you can actually or potentially in the future control. Weather is not one of them.
Really? Says who?
> It’s not up for debate. <
That statement is chilling. And especially so coming from a person in the sciences. Scientific topics are always up for debate. Always, always, always.
So would want to permanently close a scientific debate? Someone who is ignorant of how science works. Or someone who is a fascist.
Such a gullible and lazy thinker would be a danger to the field of medicine.
Why does this kind of crap get posted?
Remember - 50% of all doctors graduated in the bottom 1/2 of their class!!!
And people wonder why I generally dislike women docs...and I’m a woman
Bat sheet crazy, arrogant, virtue signaling moonbat. Not my doctor!
