(AP) — President Joe Biden asked India’s Narendra Modi on Monday not to accelerate the buying of Russian oil as the U.S. and other nations try to cut off Moscow’s energy income following the invasion of Ukraine. The Indian prime minister made no public commitment to refrain from Russian oil, a source of tension with the U.S.

Dear Doctors: I'm concerned about a large lipoma that is growing on the right side of my head. I know that lipomas are not supposed to be cancerous, but can it become so in the future? I'm considering having it removed. How is that done?
DEAR HARRIETTE: While at work the other day, my co-workers had a casual discussion about whether or not transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women's sports. The general consensus among my co-workers was that they think it's unfair for someone who was born male to compete against women. The discussion definitely rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure that they meant no harm, but I don't think that these kinds of conversations are appropriate for the workplace. We don't know who among us is trans or not; what if someone felt targeted? Should I tell a higher-up? — Office Complaint
