| Today we are leading the newsletter with a column about something I love dearly: Jeopardy. The classic gameshow has a new star, Amy Schneider's who's impressive streak is exciting so many fans, myself included. It's such a joy to watch her dominate the board and share her vast trivia knowledge with us all. I hope you enjoy the column as much as I did. |

| Who is Amy Schneider? |
| The first woman to win more than $1 million on "Jeopardy!", the show's most successful transgender player ever and, maybe, the one person who can bring us all together. |
| On Monday, the category for Final Jeopardy was U.S. museums. Schneider, who had racked up 38 consecutive wins by last week when she became tied for second to all-time champion Ken Jennings, looked comfortable as she jotted down her answer (in the form of a question, of course). Suddenly, the camera zoomed in on her. Did she have it? Nope, but it didn't matter because she had played another run-away game. And just like that, Schneider took over second place in all-time wins. Not only that, she's the first woman to win more than $1 million on the program, and the most successful transgender player ever. That's a really big deal – for Schneider, transgender people and the rest of us. |

| My boys were taught that the police officers who protect and serve our communities are to be respected and trusted. That trust was destroyed on Jan. 8, 2018, when they were stopped at gunpoint, forced to lie on the ground, handcuffed and searched. |
| On this cold, rainy night the boys had spent the evening with their grandparents and were walking the short distance back to my house. This walk home turned into a nightmare that still haunts them to this day because an inexperienced police officer in Springdale, Arkansas, overreacted to a dispatch report about some alleged gang members who had fled during a traffic stop earlier that evening. |
| When officer Lamont Marzolf encountered my kids, who were just 12 and 14 at the time, he could have acted in a professional manner, asked them some questions, and it would have been readily apparent (1) they didn't come close to matching the description of the suspects, and (2) they were just young kids walking back to their mom's house after spending time with their grandparents. |

| An increasing number of my patients have found their way through the hysteria to look to the real science and the real public health consequences of the omicron variant. |
| What those patients have learned is that this highly contagious variant is much milder and much less damaging to the lungs than delta, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and multiple studies from South Africa and the United Kingdom. |
| Omicron is much less likely to put you in the hospital, especially if you recently had COVID-19 or are vaccinated and boosted. In fact, it is unlikely to make you very sick if you are young and lack chronic health conditions. |
