Did you know that members of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense incorporated Eastern Medicine to aid marginalized communities during Nixon's "War on Drugs" (😒)?

80+ yo patient: Dr. Echols--I know I say this every time I see you, but I LOVE those boots. You have them in a reddish color too, don't you?

Me: You really pay attention! Yes, I do.

80+ yo patient: Hm. I want a pair. Where can I get them?

Me: There is a store at .

80+ yo patient: 😂 I am not driving all the way to Buckhead. Can I get them online?

Me: You sure can! And heads up--they may run a bit large.

80+ yo patient: Ok...ok! That's good to know! Thanks, doc!
Yep, they are well-loved, and my grandfather would've loved to give them a good polish. 🫠🙃😂❤️
Fun fact. My first job in high school was as a exhibit intern at the in Berkeley. My first paycheck went toward Doc Marten boots because my mama said she wasn't buying them. 🥰

Adults/parents can always learn from children.
It was my son who introduced me to Dr. Louis Tompkins Wright through a class project he did in 2nd grade.
I mentioned him yesterday, but he definitely deserves his own shoutout--from his accomplishments during segregation to the commitment to legacy that he poured into his daughters.

This was great!
1) I always tell my patients that flu and C🦠V1D wage "warfare" on your body and is not "just a common cold" when they come to me weeks later wondering why they still feel drained. This explains how.
2) He also explains why you can still get the flu even if vaccinated but it is less severe.

I decided to deviate from my usual quote of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s that I post about health and instead post about willful ignorance.
Growing up, I was told to never be around another person different from me without interacting with them and taking something of value that they share about themselves--their food, their faith, even their experience on this American soil.
This is one of the many pieces of advice that has shaped me into who I am today.
It seems that, in this current climate, some people are willing to admit their ignorance toward others and course-correct. And I am really glad to see that. Those who are choosing ignorance and stupidity during this time, shame on you.
Iykyk.

1) You can let this ferment in a dark place for more than 12 hours but you will,
2) Have to "burp" your jar or it may explode, and
3) use a glass weight to make sure the onion and garlic are fully submerged in the honey to prevent mold.
4) Everything that my colleague said. ☺️
