4. Fruit Allergies Signal Latex Risk Kiwi, banana, avocado, and chestnut allergies can overlap with latex sensitivity. That matters because parts of ICU equipment still contain latex. The allergy history can change how clinicians approach procedures.

Many people freaking our about the “so many doctors have left clinical practice paper” Guys you have to read the methods They sent a survey to 63,000 people who graduated in the last 25 years and only looked at the 937 responses (1.6%) from people who *appeared not to be practicing*. Shockingly, they found that the respondents tended to be *younger* and *not practicing.* Of course the average age was 48. That’s kinda what you expect if you exclude older people. It’s just math.
