Spring Roll Dipping Sauce https://thewoksoflife.com/spring-roll-dipping-sauce/ For new readers an electronic sticky note is a reminder and pointer to recipes from other websites that one day I might try. So when the bots come back (see The Recipes in This Blog Are Being Stolen by AI) they’ll be stealing someone else’s copyrighted material.
I know it’s AI because my recipes can’t be this good!
Unsavory Truth: How Food Companies Skew the Science of What We Eat. In that book, I review research on the “funding effect,” the strong correlations between who pays for food and nutrition research and its outcome. Industry-funded research tends to produce results favorable to the funder’s interests (otherwise it wouldn’t be funded). But recipients of […]

Don’t get me started on this. Pretty soon all of the primary care in the United States will be mid-level practitioners, nurse, practitioners, or PAs. There is just too much bullshit and too many regulations, and not enough compensation. All the primary care is going to fall on the mid levels. And the MDs and DOswill be going into specialties, especially surgical specialties.
I know exactly how much the nurse practitioners know. Over the last 40 years I’ve taught them. And many are good. But for a GYN rotation doing 30 Pap smears is just not enough to be a women’s health practitioner, and that is all that is required here locally.
Almost all the specialists I go to, Cardiology, Dermatology, G.I., orthopedics, have so-called physician extenders. And every other appointment or more is with a PA or a nurse practitioner. The quality of care is not the same. But, but the physician practice bills at MD rates. The state of medicine is really pathetic.
I apologize for getting you “started”.
