This Is Amber. Don't Hate Her Because She's Fat.
Hi there. I’m Amber. It’s been a while since I’ve posted. The last time I did [see below] I got some major backlash. Apparently I’m promoting obesity by existing.

Why Old Doctors Are Better Doctors
“The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions.” - Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. Everybody likes a bright, young doctor who is up to date on the latest technology, medications, and interventions.
