My patients’ health depends on addressing climate change

Phobia!

See, those that are at the bottom of the class rankings in med school are called----------doctor. Think she'll ask about 🔫🚬🍻🍷🍸🍹

[Vendome]

As a fourth-year medical student, I’ve learned plenty about caring for patients with common illnesses and injuries. But as a native of fire-ravaged Northern California, and a student in Pennsylvania - where I hear regularly about communities torn apart by the natural gas industry - I can’t help but worry about my ability to care for my patients in an age of climate change.

“I would be worried if you were my Doctor....”

[Tench_Coxe]

I’ll have to remember that name. That’s one doctor I would trust to have my well being at heart.

[Tench_Coxe]

Make that “would not trust”

[Timocrat]

Good grief how did she get into medical school!

[miss marmelstein]

My doctor graduated from the Univ. of PA - a much better school than Penn State. Of course, who knows now what they’re teaching at the Univ. of PA.

[Ouderkirk]

Good to know her name....someone to avoid as an MD.

[Grampa Dave]

Remember this name. If you ever need an MD and her name is:
Autumn Vogel.

Run away. Your dead dogs are better scientists than this loser.

She sounds like a moonbat quack.

Her potential patients should avoid her like the plague.

[palmer]

She's wrong of course. Here's one simple reason why:

There's up to 20% higher mortality when there's a bad strain of flu. Otherwise just 10% higher mortality in winter.

“We know that climate change is real, manmade, and accelerating far beyond what researchers originally predicted. It’s not up for debate.”

Why because you, not yet a doctor, said so?
And while I’m asking, other than an unfortunate explosion how is it that “communities torn apart by the natural gas industry” ?
Please, please don’t do your residency at my institution, I’m beggin ya.

Good luck treating your patients after the leftists do away with the electric power grid, paved roads, air transportation of goods (like medicine), x-rays, MRIs, radiology, etc.

You're going to find yourself living like Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman and handing your patients leeches for their cancer. All so the sea levels in Guam don't go up a 16th of an inch.

Autumn, you need some courses that teach you how to imagine complex systems. You ain’t got it yet.

[Little Bill]

I an getting sick of this BS. I have Haplogroup I, which means we have been around, in Europe for 37,000 years.

I believe there was an Ice Age or two, various plagues, petulance's, and other unpleasantness's.

“I can’t help but worry about my ability to care for my patients in an age of climate change.”

Get help you sick assholette.

[Bonemaker]

“If you ever need an MD and her name is:
Autumn Vogel.”

Vogel means bird in German....in her case bird-brain.

[Bonemaker]

“And it will unfortunately be our most vulnerable communities - low income communities, communities of color, and places where health care is already hard to come by - who will suffer the worst consequences.”

And this whackjob is on track to be an MD?
