I'd love to pour out some thoughts for you about the wild week that was, but I think I'm too drained to write them. Elections are simply exhausting. And no matter who you voted for, you're probably a little too drained to read them. At least, that's what I gather. I had expected the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump's reelection to come with an avalanche of First Opinion submissions about the new administration, but to my surprise, I haven't received that many.
I suspect that's because so many people in health care, medicine, biotech, pharma, etc., are still processing, trying to figure out what the next four years will bring and where to direct their energies. That was definitely the reaction from many folks I invited to write this week.
As always, once you're ready, I'll be here to read your thoughts, your submissions, and your ideas for what First Opinion should tackle next.
Recommendation of the week: My new favorite medical TikToker is Caleb Masterson, an ear, nose, and throat doctor who performs skits as an arrogant physician and his put-upon practice manager.
