1/ My wife @amyfaithho is an ER doc handling #coronavirus cases. It pains me to read stories about other HCW spouses forcing their #FirstResponders into the basement or kicking them out of the house as if they were a pariah or #dirtydoc. @RachelPatzerPhD @kyweise @nytimes

@StubHub I was promised your FanProtect Guarantee 2 weeks ago. Since then, all I hear is "we're still looking into it." Seller error was admitted, yet you hold my money while offering no resolution. What a complete scam. Even DM's to @TeamStubHub are unanswered.

Can we extend this line of thinking to clinical decision-making? If a test result won't impact a potential treatment course, it should also be considered unethical.

Take prenatal genetic screening for ex. A positive result can be up to 93% wrong.

America is dying. Faster. Younger.
As doctors, we can only patch.🩹

We need a collective effort that spans every aspect of our society, from citizens to lawmakers, to create the change we desperately need.

We want to be part of the solution, but we can’t be the sole lifeline.

TLDR: Life expectancy is intrinsically tied to
#gunviolence, #mentalhealth, #fooddeserts, #suicide, #addiction, #opioidcrisis, #bigAlcohol, #FastFood, #poverty

These are cross-sectional societal issues, not purely “medical” ones, that hamper our health…

In light of commentary on how Emergency Medicine is falling as a speciality due to the recent @TheNRMP #match results—think it’s worth pointing out that it’s not just #ER, it’s really all primary care (Psych, Peds, FM, EM) aka the core of safety net medicine. Note, this is a symptom of perverse financial incentives in healthcare, not of the specialities themselves.@CORD_EM @ACEPNow @EmergencyDocs @AmerAcadPeds @aafp @APApsychiatric

A few thoughts on #Texas #WinterStorm from this week...
TLDR: The media runs a pariah narrative pitting sides against each other...but that's just a distraction.
The real message: We may have lost power and heat, but the heart of Texas will still warm your soul.

[Daniel Caspi @2xDC]

In times of disaster and crisis, glimpses of the human spirit shine through and warm your heart.

Y'all... I cannot. I'm dying. With no water service, my sister just used their crawfish pot to melt snow and warm up the water in order to give the kids a bath tonight.

Patterns will no longer be predictable, true preparedness becomes infeasible, and history is no longer our teacher.

[Amy Faith Ho, MD MPH @amyfaithho]

As a #Texas ER doctor, after seeing the patients of #winterstorm #Uri — it’s never been so clear that #climatechange is THE #publichealth #emergency of this century.

Special thanks to @reuters @thomsonreuters @TRF_Stories for giving me a voice https://t.co/4fXkvfwhdC

@joshdr83 Found your article/prediction from 3 (!) years ago. Great analysis, turned out to be (unfortunately) right on the money.

3/ This needs to be disclosed upfront when buying a new phone, as it punishes dual SIM users and makes it impossible to ever upgrade your phone without putting it in a box for 2 months. Also, there is only a 14 day window to return old phone... making this even more convoluted.

[Daniel Caspi @2xDC]

@hansvestberg @VZWSupport @Verizon 1/ I'm returning my iPhone 12 Pro due to VZ policy hell. I use dual SIM and because of the 60 day lock, I was unable to activate my second line (w/ another carrier). Even Tier 2 management was sympathetic, but was unable to fix this problem.

[Daniel Caspi @2xDC]

2/ I was also advised I could pay for the phone in store, in cash (?!!!!), and this would unlock the phone. Not only do I not want to drag around $1K of cash, but local VZ stores are all closed anyhow. So this is a useless alternative.

[Daniel Caspi @2xDC]

@SouthwestAir I get that but it’s not exactly the same as having two reservations bc the companion can’t travel if the main res is canceled. It is punitive to separate companion during boarding and a downer to having A list at all.

[Daniel Caspi @2xDC]

@gary_kelly @SouthwestAir Why can’t A-list & Companion pass holders have their companions board with them? It should be allowed since we’re traveling together. My companion has B pass - if I board w her I lose my A#. She was stopped by gate agent at @DallasLoveField

[Daniel Caspi @2xDC]

@SouthwestAir Easy. Just assign a number that parallels companion pass holder. Eg. A30 & A30*.
