Good question. Garyskitchen.net is a blog / food memoir website. (garyskitchen.net) Here’s what it seems to be about: If you like, I can check whether it’s a reliable or trusted site (e.g. based on its credibility, authorship, how up-to-date it is).

While wild oysters were an important part of an Indigenous diet in what is now Maine, by the 1900s they had all but disappeared. Most people considered them functionally extinct, in fact, until this spring, when researchers from the University of Maine published a study confirming their return, often in close proximity to the oyster […]

Drinking coffee is linked to stimulating the growth of bacteria like L. asaccharolyticus—creating a healthier gut microbiome. As coffee compounds are metabolized by gut bacteria, they produce beneficial metabolites like quinic acid (which research shows has antioxidant and protective properties2) and hippurate (which is a marker of metabolic health). Drinking This Daily Can Increase 115 Types Of Good […]
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”.
