In a viral Twitter thread Wednesday, Maya Hughes, a 20-year-old college student in California, revealed a wild story: In a desperate ordeal when she was 5 years old, a kind stranger helped her fly back the U.S. from Sierra Leone.
Through an unexpected chain of events 15 years later, she and her mom finally found out who the man was: Tom Perriello, who went on to become a Virginia congressman and Democratic gubernatorial candidate.
I don’t post “happy news” stories simply for the sake of it but this one was so wonderful, I had to share it.
Part of the work we do is in the life sciences, specifically cardiology in a hospital setting. The ECG app from apple is a travesty and will cause many consequences for its users, medical personnel, and most importantly American insurance companies who will have access to this information and can use it to alter or deny your coverage.
Want a little science? single lead ECG/EKG monitoring tells a cardiologist very little about a patient’s health. It tells an insurance company that you are an unnecessary risk.
Apple users are such suckers for being fished for more information they “willingly” give up that is more onerousto the nonsense exposed by a social network.
And don’t let Apple kid you. Like this is available even if it dint get released by the Fruit Computer company.
This will have bad consequences for all.
Regardless of the point you’re trying to make, you’re making it on the wrong story.
