But just after starting that fellowship, Dr. Hasadsri’s personal and professional worlds collided, giving them a dual role as both patient and physician. Now the director of the Molecular Technologies Laboratory in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology and proud mom to…
“The abortion pill remains unnecessarily over-regulated,” Ashley Jeanlus, MD, ob-gyn and assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco’s Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, tells SELF. She says the initial label changes made by the FDA in 2016, including the increase of the gestational age limit to 10 weeks, were “consistent with medical evidence.”And the agency’s decision to ease in-person dispensing restrictions during the height of the pandemic—remember: a public health emergency—was fueled by the advocacy of top medical organizations: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), with support from the Society for Maternal–Fetal Medicine, legally challenged…
What is dissociative identity disorder (DID)? Dissociative identity disorder (DID) involves perceiving multiple identities within yourself and switching between them. These identities, sometimes known as “alters” or dissociative parts, each seem to have their own independent traits, behaviors, thoughts, and perceptions of the world. They might even have their own names. Formerly known as multiple personality disorder, DID is extremely distressful because you may lose control or awareness when one of the alters surfaces. You might wake up in a new location and learn that you drove there in an emotional state. Or perhaps you frequently experience a sense of…

Steakhouses are an all-American restaurant genre typified by the notion that bigger equals better. In some cases, like with tomahawk chops, that’s true. But even at a steakhouse where bone-in ribeyes can outsize most house cats, smaller can be better. That’s true, at least, of the petite filet, a comparatively dainty cut that emphasizes quality over quantity while offering a more demure option for diners not looking to break their budgets or their belts. Often regarded as one of the healthier menu options in a steakhouse, the petite filet can sometimes be a vague moniker for a cut below the…

I have good news and bad news. People usually want the bad news first, so here goes: You, alone, do not have the power to make your child happy. None of us do. That’s the bad news. Okay, what’s the good news? You hold more power than you think. The biggest mistake I see parents making with their children is that they underestimate themselves! You underestimate how needed and wanted you are, and how much of a difference you can make. And if your gut reaction to this is anything along the lines of “No, my kid doesn’t want to…
