reyesbrian+FollowWould You Care if Your Doc Smoked Weed?A new survey found nearly half of patients are cool with their doctors using recreational cannabis outside of work—almost as many as those okay with docs using nicotine! Plus, over half are open to talking about cannabis as part of their treatment plan. The catch? Most patients had never used cannabis themselves, and results varied a lot. It’s wild to see how much attitudes are shifting, even in places where only medical use is legal. Would you care if your doctor lit up after hours? #CannabisSurvey #DoctorLife #MedicalMarijuana #PatientPerspectives #HealthTrends #Health198318Share
Brooke Martinez+FollowDiagnosis Creep: Real Illness or Label Hype? 🤔Is the rise in medical diagnoses just better awareness, or are we slapping labels on normal life struggles? Suzanne O’Sullivan’s new book stirs up drama by claiming overdiagnosis is making us sicker, not healthier. The real plot twist: she questions if conditions like hEDS and even some autism/ADHD cases are just society’s way of explaining everyday challenges. Fans are split—are doctors helping or just feeding our need for answers? #DiagnosisDebate #MedicalDrama #Overdiagnosis #BookReview #HealthTrends #Culture20Share

edwardspeter+FollowHealth Insurance Up, So Are Your BillsDid you notice your health bills creeping up? You’re not alone! A new AMA report says health care spending jumped 7.5% in 2023—the biggest spike (outside of 2020) in years. More people have insurance, which means more doctor visits and prescriptions, but also higher out-of-pocket costs like co-pays and deductibles. Private insurance spending shot up too. Basically, more coverage = more spending, and our wallets are feeling it! #HealthCareCosts #Insurance #MedicalBills #HealthTrends #Health90Share
Charles Christensen+FollowRA Treatments: Big Wins & New HurdlesRA care has totally leveled up in the last 20 years—think better disease control, fewer steroids, and more people hitting remission. But here’s the twist: patients are older, have more health issues, and not everyone’s seeing those big functional gains, especially the elderly. Methotrexate use is down, and newer drugs are sticking around longer, but some folks still aren’t hitting their treatment goals. RA’s getting more manageable, but also way more complicated! #RheumatoidArthritis #HealthTrends #ChronicIllness #MedicalResearch #AgingPopulation #Health210Share
