The 4 years I spent living in SF in medical school were some of the most miserable of my life, and it wasn't because of UCSF Med School. I fell in love with SF for some of the same reasons as the author of this article (vibrant diversity, beautiful weather and scenery, exciting shit to do), but the reality of the place was much the way he describes it. Diversity without connection, an underlying meanness everywhere, horrible public transport...oh, and the COST. I now live closer to Silicon Valley in suburbs and there's much more sense of community and friendliness. Hopefully San Francisco can fix its shit because it is truly one of the most beautiful places on earth and it's really tragic to witness its decline. https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/nobody-says-hi-in-san-francisco
Mrs. DoggMD and I hiked up to the top of a crazy temple and cemetery called Otani Sobyo above Kyoto this morning. Pure madness 🔥 and HELLLA G-HOSTS!
Today's interview with legendary vaccine researcher Paul Offit. Video version coming shortly!
My news feed is like living in a parallel universe. First our local hospital set to close two whole wards and an article explaining why the NHS says this loss of beds will benefit patients and while I was trying to get my head round that logic this headline was confusing it ...still good to know that chintz is back. I had no idea Alex Jones was a supporter of floral prints.
(Ohhhhh not that Alex Jones - I see!)
10 days ago I lost the hearing in my left ear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a reversal with crazy dosing of Prednisone by the time the remix of Rubber Soul hits on October 2nd. Failing that, I still have the Beatles Mono Box to listen to. 🤪
