Deepest Cut

Published by Meg Conley in Now Share


They’re starting a study at my local hospital looking into how/if v low doses of GLP1-1s can help prevent cancer reoccurrence. I’m probably not eligible to join. But I kept thinking about that study while reading this essay in The Cut. Imagine if I got into the study, quietly started taking the drug, a friend found the meds in my fridge and was like, “oh! I have been betrayed!” And then wrote an essay in The Cut about it? It’s all so very 2015!

I just read that Wegovy/friend break up essay in The Cut. Quite confounding. I can’t understand ending a friendship with someone for this reason, in this manner, but even more perplexing is publishing this essay that will make the writer internet fodder for the week.
