kingabigail+FollowNurses Are Swapping Scrubs for BotoxNurses are ditching the chaos of hospital life for the calm (and cash) of medical spas. Burned out by understaffing and stress, some RNs are taking pay cuts to start over in aesthetics—think Botox and fillers—but many end up making more than ever. It’s not all glam: it takes hustle, training, and a steady hand with a needle. But for nurses like Anni Kim, it’s a breath of fresh air (and a fatter paycheck). Would you make the switch? #Health #BodyHealth #NurseLife00Share

wilsonjames+FollowChildhood Trauma Can Haunt Your BodyWild new research says tough childhoods don’t just mess with your head—they can actually wire your body for chronic pain as an adult. People who went through abuse or bullying as kids were way more likely to have lingering pain after accidents later in life. Even lab rats showed the same thing! Turns out, your body remembers old stress in ways we’re only starting to understand. Trauma isn’t just in your mind—it can literally hurt for years. #Health #BodyHealth #MentalHealth40Share
Keith Stokes+FollowWhy Baton Rouge needs its own med schoolLSU pours millions into STEM and research, yet Baton Rouge still doesn’t have its own medical school—despite a looming doctor shortage and sky-high rejection rates for Louisiana’s aspiring physicians. Students here are forced to choose between distant campuses in New Orleans or Shreveport, neither of which are ideal for safety or community ties. With new science buildings and plenty of classroom space, why isn’t LSU stepping up to meet this urgent need? Investing in a local med school could change the game for students and healthcare in our city. What do you think Baton Rouge needs most right now? #Health #BodyHealth #BatonRouge00Share

Jacqueline Ray+FollowBoise teacher battles school over Lyme diseaseA Boise teacher’s fight with the school district is raising big questions about classroom safety. Michelle Chung says she developed Lyme disease after mice infested her kitchen classroom at West Junior High—think droppings in ovens, nests in printers, and a costly illness that’s not covered by insurance. Despite repeated reports, she claims the district ignored the problem until she paid for her own inspection, which labeled her classroom as “diseased.” Now she’s suing for help with her medical bills and demanding a full school inspection. How safe do you feel sending your kids to school? #Health #BodyHealth #Boise00Share
