So a ' faculty course director' at Stanford is a non teaching assignment; they wrangle CME courses, but don't teach them

So where did this person come from? Did we have a Surgeon General before and they went away, or what? I guess I could look that up.

And why is she no longer licensed?

And didn't RFK, Jr. say a similar thing about looking a farmer in the eye to decide if the raw milk was ok?

FFS, call your reps and senators and tell them no, they may not confirm this person to the position of Surgeon General.

I'd love to ask Ms Means if by skipping the occasional Twizzler I could stop using the Enbrel that allows me to keep my RA under control, so I can, you know, take exercise and avoid obesity and heart disease, or if the horrifying side effects should disqualify this miracle of the Proteomic revolution, but I'm afraid I'd be too busy trying not to punch her, and therefore avoid prison.

Why would anybody put a non-doctor in the Surgeon General position? Anyone who votes for this idiot should be primaried.

They want to nuke our ability to respond to a pandemic. Then when COVID 2.0 hits, millions of distressed properties can be snapped up by VC and PE groups on the cheap.

her whole 'there should be a conversation' schitck is a whistle towards 'medicine tells us what to do and we don't like wah wah wah' tantrum that has ramped up since the pandemic. of course she couldn't answer the question about what that should look like, because its not a real thing, and she's not a serious person

Well, she doesn't fit the profile. I hope she knows she needs some significant plastic surgery that dog. coming from another woman to say that about somebody takes a lot, but given she's selling the rest of us out fuck her that pos

I just want every senator who’s thinking of confirming this nut case to answer one question — not for me, for their families: If we have a repeat of the COVID-19 pandemic, say, next year is THIS the person you want in charge of US Public Health? I mean you already have Robert Fuckwit Kennedy as HHS Secretary, isn’t that pretty much suicidal enough already?

Feature, not bug. If they can kill off 10% of the population, Private Equity can snap up the distressed assets.

I wish that I were joking about this. They don't want to kill millions of us just for fun. I mean, fun enters into it, but not at the importance level of profit.

Casey Means is batshit nuts. That is all

Perfect for their mission then.

All this talk of "conversation" and "relationship" with my doctor is weird.

I visit doctors for treatment. I have NEVER met one that I want a relationship with.

And I am sure the feeling is MUTUAL.

The only conversation I want with this woman can be done with my middle fingers fully extended.

Canadian Substacker Dean Blundell unearthed Casey’s “Satanic Wellness Poetry” and it is… well, judge for yourself”

THE DEVIL'S WELLNESS PLAN

A poem by Casey Means, MD (with some rhyming help from Al)

If I were the devil, I'd ditch the disguise-

No pitchfork, no flames, just marketing lies.

I'd feed you poison, call it a "snack,"

And label you "elitist" when you want your health back.

I'd flood the media with videos of threats,

Distract and scare and create non-stop stress.

I'd poison the soil, then praise the "yield,"

While destroying the topsoil in every field.

I'd bury research, seal the locks,

Then line you up for seventy-three shots.

I'd cancel critical thinking, stop dissenters with bots,

Then jab your kids without a second thought.

I'd shame the sunlight and worship shade,

And block the rays the holy sun made.

Then sell you D in plastic packs,

To fill the hole from all you lack.

I'd flood your nights with dopamine,

From endless scrolls on little blue screens.

I'd wreck your sleep and sell it back:

"Sweet dreams" with Lunesta and a hundred sleep hacks!

———-

And all I heard after I read it was

“While in the United States civil rights have

Collapsed at the hands of fundamentalists

And national insecurity's at an all time high

Bail out the banks loan art to the churches

Satanic Reverses”

Personally I like pork chops.

Does this mean I visit the farm and slaughter house to form a "relationship" with the people who provide my pork?

FUCK NO I DON'T! I ain't shaking their hanrds for HEALTH REASONS.

Do not enter "Group Porking Relations" without Safe Search

pstokk's avatar

Apart from health concerns, you visit those places there's a fair chance you won't like pork chops quite as much, so I'd skip it.

Pope Scipio Newburyporticus's avatar

Pork chops are one of my go-to struggle meals. Like a buck a piece. You can make a plate of food with pork chops, veggies and a starch for like 3 bucks.

If she doesn’t get confirmed, Ronny Jackson is almost certainly waiting in the wings. Either that or TFG will just nominate Aileen Canon because she’s loyal

She'll ban the release of all vaccine research PERMANENTLY!

And btw, mat leave in 🇨🇦 is a minimum of 17 weeks paid by the ei system. And you can take up to a year and be guaranteed your job is there when you go back after your leave.

Laurie Palmer's avatar

I heard Marshall congratulate her on her 17 week old baby. So SHE gets a minimum 17 week Mat leave but every other woman who survives pregnancy because birth control is too dangerous has to be back at work in 2 weeks. And the children are your greatest resource he says. 🤯😡
