Higher intake of ultra-processed foods has been associated with a laundry list of ailments. It makes sense that greater consumption would be associated with more dental cavities, thanks to their sugar, obesity, thanks to their concentration of calories, and an increased risk of high blood pressure, thanks to their salt, which is linked to higher rates of cardiovascular events, like heart attacks and strokes. And, since cardiovascular diseases are our leading killers, it also makes sense that excess intake of ultra-processed foods could lead to increased overall mortality.

Over the last ten years, neither error rates nor costs have come down, despite scientific progress and efforts to curb expenses. To patients, the healthcare system is a black box.

In 1970s, Bakersfield, California, a group of wealthy and influential men operated behind a wall of silence. They called themselves the Lords of Bakersfield. For an eleven-year-old boy named Robert Mistriel, they were untouchable and unavoidable. Sent from a boys’ home to perform odd jobs, Robert was drawn into years of systematic sexual abuse. Survival became transactional: obedience in exchange for food, shelter, money, and protection. Resistance was punished. As the abuse escalated and the system meant to protect him repeatedly failed, Robert’s sense of justice collapsed.

Trauma for the Streets: The First Ten Minutes Decide Everything The patient is talking. The vitals look normal. The bleeding is not obvious. And you have ten minutes. Trauma rarely presents as dramatic instability in the first few minutes. It compensates. It hides. It looks stable until it is not. Most preventable trauma errors are not caused by lack of skill. They are caused by early misinterpretation of risk. A mechanism underestimated. A compensated patient labeled stable. A transport decision delayed. A destination chosen too comfortably. By the time deterioration is obvious, the ...
