I like the unquestioned love of this and these are the doctors and medical people I want treating me. But I do wonder if sometimes it's like continually insuring people who live in the flood plain.
This is exactly what we want med students to think about their patients. Well done!

Teaching @EinsteinMed students today about harm reduction:
Me: What do we communicate to someone who injects drugs when we prescribe them sterile needles?
Student: That their life matters, and that we care about their health, whether they continue to use or not?

No. People with addiction have a medical illness and they deserve treatment, just like diabetics and cancer patients. People who build in flood plains are making poor decisions. What we shouldn’t be doing is *subsidizing* flood insurance. They should pay the full cost.
