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!
Had a wonderful vacation in Jackson, Wyoming with my daughter Kathy, granddaughter Ava (few senior pictures included) and 19 year old granddaughter Jessica (Junior at Michigan Technical University in Houghton, MI studying engineering). We rode horses, saw a rodeo, went white water rafting, saw the broadway show “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”, went hiking and almost tried mountain climbing! Lighting took that scary activity off the list to my immense relief!!! It was a really beautiful and unforgettable vacation!!!
