Then Howard turns to Rice with a question she didn't encounter in medical school: "Can I ask you: Last summer, why was it so hot?"
"The overall trend of the hotter summers that we're seeing [is] due to climate change," Rice says, "and with the overall upward trend, we've got the consequences of climate change."
For Rice, connecting those consequences — heat waves, more pollen, longer allergy seasons — to her patients' health is becoming routine. She is among a very small but growing number of doctors and nurses who discuss those connections with patients.

I can’t afford $300 bucks to sit around and talk with “my” doctor.
So I guess that means we’ll have a shorter flu season.
LOL! I kill me.
No, but we did talk about breasts.....
Of course it could not possibly be that you are more susceptible to heat and cold as you age. No, gotta be that there evil conservative “climate change”!!
Medical doctors cannot afford to cure their patients.
I believe it's called a Valium Xanax cocktail.
This guy has already found the best solution to climate change:
Move to where you are most comfortable.
I’m so old I remember when 4 out of 5 doctors smoked Camel cigarettes!
Up until he recently sold the property my doctor let me have unlimited use of his private shooting range. Do I need to say anything else?
He’s also an excellent diagnostician with an open mind who will discuss any idea regarding health that I bring up. He’s also up to speed on so much new stuff oh, I don’t know where he gets the time.
Yes, in fact, they do!
First of all, vote democrat!
Secondly, listen to AOC, she knows!
Thirdly, don’t complain when they increase your taxes; it’s a blessing to your health to pay more for everything, but especially more government, to battle man-made global warming.
Next, get rid of your car, truck, motorcycle, and ride a push bike. Great for your health.
Now, dump plastic of all kinds, or better yet, recycle it all and use hemp for packaging. The extra germs found in the reused fibers will strengthen your autoimmune system.
Finally, do not object when the government starts reeducation camps for conservatives, even if they’re your family or friends. It’s for their own good! They’ll make healthy citizens after, and if that doesn’t work, healthy fertilizer for Mother Gaia!
How about this for a response to that stupid question: hey doc, I’ve got hemmrhoids that are burning like an acytelene torch with the O2 on full.
Rest assured when your “leaders” are talking about global warming, chicks with dicks in the girls choose your own adventure batheooms and other pseudointellectual quackery, what they AREN’T talking about are things that truly matter. Failing schools, dilapidated infrastructure, bankrupt pensions, etc.
This is similar, maybe they should be talking about why little Susie and Johnnie are coming down with what looks a hell of a lot like Polio and other once eradicated communicable diseases due to thousands of unvaccinated illegal aliens crashing the border.
F these people.
A meteor about 50 miles in diameter. That’ll fix it for all time.
“Smoking Camels aids your digestion!”
Said the white coated figure with the stethoscope in the magazine ad. Circa 1953.
I would laugh in their face, then tell them about the medieval warming period when the Earth’s temperature rose four degrees.
I would remind them that were no internal combustion engines back then, no oil wells, no smoke stacks.
I would tell them that the northern ice cap melted.
Then I would say, the temperature eventually dropped again, the polar ice cap re-froze, and that was that.
“I pay my doctor to be expert in the field of Medicine. If she’s dabbling in climatology on the side I’ll find another doctor.”
Me and thee. Sure I believe in climate change, every winter, spring, summer and fall.
Audit everyone in the article.
I had an orthopedic surgeon who had a poster of Elvis in his office.
