I’m fiscally conservative. No ambiguity there. But I’m increasingly frustrated with how conservatism communicates. We’re not losing arguments on principle—we’re losing people because of the tone. Too much of it sounds angry, dismissive, or indifferent. That doesn’t mean

John Asghar MD Really appreciate this perspective. If we lead with empathy and respect, we can have tough conversations without shutting people down. It's not about softening the truth—it’s about making it heard.

As a brown guy with the funny-sounding name… What I’ve learned over the past few days is that a significant portion assume I’m either: – a racist, – a terrorist, – antisemitic, – misogynistic, – pushing sharia law… …or I’m Vivek Ramaswamy. (And while I like Vivek, we’re not

Engagement Beats Dismissal I disagree with most of Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s policies. They’re rooted in a form of economics that assumes government-run systems or nonprofits inherently generate efficiencies and cost savings. That’s just not true in practice. If we want real,

The strongest case against “not-for-profit” institutions is healthcare. Large hospital systems exploit their nonprofit status to consolidate power, inflate costs, and dominate markets. Human nature doesn’t shift with ideology. Greed shows up in socialism, capitalism, and every

I always have a Hard time accepting the narrative of a “physician” or “nursing” shortage from hospital admin—especially while being told clinicians are “overpaid.” All while: • $1.4 trillion/year goes to administrative overhead(27-30 % of healthcare) • Physicians spend 16

I 100% support Dr. Williams. I respect that he’s honest—and not hiding behind anonymity. Google reviews should not be weaponized. People are allowed to have opinions. You’re allowed to disagree. But there’s no value in being malicious. Don’t be evil

This shouldn’t be controversial: Masks do affect communication. So do Zoom and phone visits. I’m a surgeon. I wear a mask every day. It muffles voices, hides tone, erases expression. Telehealth? Same problem—no eye contact, no timing, no nuance. This isn’t politics. It’s human

I love how people assume things. It’s one of my favorite pictures i am on a mission trip to Brazil with a gathering for my patients that we cared for over the years… It’s not even a clinical setting… I mask if my patient needs it… or ask for it Our office has rules
