Advice Allergy Olympics

Is it wrong that if I see a patient has more than 10 allergies I IMMEDIATELY assume she's (bc it's always a she) a psych case?

In 24 years I've never been wrong.

You'll never read this in a textbook but add it to your practice today and thank me later👍

We all succumb to the dyed hair or zyn addiction eventually. Stay strong.

I’m only looking at dying my hair because I’m too damn young to have this much gray!
