I agree! The Autumn Ghost is an important and enthralling read by Dr. Hannah Wunsch.

"I mean, life is a terminal illness. We're all going to die. And for the small slice of time where we're here, we might as well express ourselves and communicate with one another. It has been a blessing beyond blessings for me. It has been a fantastic journey."

Part of the reason U.S. healthcare sucks is the dominance of private equity in physician staffing groups. The FTC took action against Welsh Carson and U.S. Anasthesia Partners (USAP) for an anticompetitive scheme: price-setting arrangements between USAP and at least three of its competitors. šŸ©ŗ

2/ Tryptophan is an essential amino acid - we donā€™t make it. So if weā€™re ā€œprogrammedā€ to absorb ā¬‡ļø from our diet, we sleep poorly, think worse, and all sorts of other bodily functions go awry. Will SSRI & SNRI meds help, or anti-virals, or immuno-modulators? Trials will tell.

These are foods that contain lots of tryptophan like turkey and eggs and chicken
