Life As Curriculum: U.S. is raising young adults to be permanent patients/customers & totally okay with it.

Life as curriculum.

Always learning.

Need less symposiums and more observing. Of what shows up on the plates in front of us.

This past morning I headed out, via Dallas, to MO, for the most arduous symposium of my year.

It’s a very smart nutrition group.

The key is that it is 24 hours of CME instruction.

I need 24 hrs/yr. to maintain licensure.

You can’t lecture for CMEs to other docs without being licensed.

That’s lots of sitting. Makes a round butt square, ha, just saying.

Texted Lyft. To head out to AUS airport.

Car pulls up. Very high-end Mercedes suburban, gotta be almost a $100,000 car.

Wow.

The talkative nice good looking younger male starts to chat.

Within a few minutes I learn he gained 100+ lbs. during the first year of Covid.

So his doctor, instead of putting him on a sensible food intake and exercise out put program, recommended a gastric sleeve.
