AMA releases document on appropriate language and health equity
https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/ama-aamc-equity-guide.pdf
The AMA recently released this equity guide focused on how words nobody finds problematic are now problematic.

Please help me pick between two classes for my last semester in college
Hello,
I really want to take two Biology classes for my last semester in college, but they have time conflicts so I can only take one of them. I’m in between Bio 362: Endocrinology and Bio 365: Introduction to Microscopy. Which one do you think I should take?

You're on call. A new patient shows up your list - admitted septic overnight. Some sort of forefoot gangrene, meth injecting, diabetic, vasculopath, smoker train wreck. Or perhaps another DPM already took a crack at a partial amp or toe amp and the whole thing fell apart (and they don't have priviledges at your hospital or the patient was transfered to you...
