The New Fitness Dogma Is Just Another Single-Cause Story
Consider this passage: “The questioner’s situation is obviously a metabolic problem… My personal judgment is that this is a classic case of severe intracellular potassium depletion, combined with years of damaged intestinal barrier… Intracellular potassium must be severely deficient; basically no testing is needed to confirm it.”

I Could Do 17 Pull-Ups in High School. At 77.5 Kg, I Couldn’t Do One.
I was the first to notice the pull-up bar in the bushes of our residential compound. The iron bar slanted out from the holly bushes, half its paint peeled off, revealing blackened iron underneath. A shared bike was parked beside it, and someone had left a half-empty bottle of mineral water in the basket. I stood there watching for more than ten seconds, reached out, and got a palmful of dust before I even touched the bar.

92 in May
It’s May, and it was 92 today. I spent the day out and about. Then poolside. The air felt different today. And yesterday. After I lay and swam and tanned and napped in the sun, I came back to my apartment and ate chips and guacamole on the balcony, swimsuit wet and hair smelling like chlorine.

Two Scars, One Body: What My C-Section Taught Me About Why Wounds Heal Differently
I have had three surgeries. Wounds get my attention. As a child, I had orthopedic surgery for polio. I spent a month in bed afterward. My leg hung in a cast. The muscles shrank, the joints stiffened, and the wound leaked and stayed red and swollen for weeks. The scar grew wide, thick, and raised. It felt hard under my fingers and itched on rainy days. The itch felt like a small fire that never went out.

Counting Sheep Is a Myth. The "Plosive" Theory Makes It Worse.
"If you can't sleep, count sheep" is widely repeated advice. Recently, an expert explained why Chinese people become more alert when they count sheep: the whole thing is a "translation accident." In English, "sheep" sounds close to "sleep," so the word supposedly hints at falling asleep. In Chinese, the word for sheep is a "plosive," so counting sheep makes Chinese people more awake. The expert proposed an alternative: before bed, repeat a word that sounds like the Chinese word for sleep, such as "water," and imagine dew dripping onto a lake. Some people joke that Chinese people should count dumplings instead.

My Patient Asked for a Dialysis Tune-Up. I Told Her No.
My patient asked if she could come in for dialysis "just once a month, like a tune-up." She had kidneys. They were working. Not perfectly, but enough. Her creatinine sat at 2.1, stable for a year. Her urine output was normal. She'd read something online about "blood cleaning" and thought it made sense. Flush the system. Start fresh.

The Greens Are Still in the Bowl
Dinner table. White porcelain bowl. Rice mounded into a small hill. Mom picked up a chopstickful of greens and put it at the edge of the child’s bowl. The child pushed the greens to the rim with his spoon.
