It's angioplasty's birthday! #OTD in 1964, using a series of catheters of increasing diameter, Charles Dotter opened a blocked femoral artery w/o surgery. He called it "angioplasty" & made a film to demonstrate it. His radical concept was rejected by US surgeons but embraced by Europeans, ultimately resulting in Gruentzig's balloon which revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. A personal note: today is also my birthday, so I guess I was born to do this!๐คฃ๐โค๏ธโ๐ฉน#AngioHistory

@TuckerCarlson Great job @TuckerCarlson . Not letting him elude your questions/derailing you was an example of true journalism. You came prepared. Now do the rest of them. Need these career politicians like Ted Cruz to not get away with nonsensical rhetoric. ๐๐๐
@elonmusk@Tesla The @Tesla naysayers need to test drive a Model S once in their lives. I fell in love with it when I first bought a Model S in 2014 & then traded in for my next one in 2018. Still love my commute everyday. The fastest & most comfortable thing on the road. Canโt wait to try this.
Appreciated the much needed & introspective Hildner lecture by @DrBillLombardi at #SCAI2025. It is imperative to take care of ourselves mentally & emotionally while serving our patients on this lifelong journey of Interventional Cardiology. โค๏ธ
@SCAI

@JDVance@Kash_Patel Congratulations on your historic confirmation @Kash_Patel . What an amazing story of grit, passion and conviction!!! Best of luck in your new role as the FBI Director. Do Us proud.๐๐๐๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
@elonmusk Any citizen using common sense, regardless of liberal or conservative views, realizes lack of transparency in government expenditure/budgets. For the first time, we are seeing gross fraud & waste exposed. Keep up the strong work. ๐๐๐๐๐
Bad policies again.
@elonmusk and @DOGE need to prioritize government spending on preparedness & prevention and NOT non citizen benefits. What a tragedy for the people of LA.
Mainstream media wants to blame climate change for insurance companies not covering damage caused by LA wildfires, but the real blame lies in Democrat policies:
Tom Ellsworth: "State Farm said last year we're not renewing 69% of the homes we insure currently today in Palisades. Why?
Because the county of L.A. and the city of L.A. had suspended brush removal in Palisades. This comes down to the county."
You can blame climate change: A bureaucratic climate that changed after Democrats added red tape.
@elonmusk This is so tragic . Preparedness and prevention of disasters used to be a quintessential United States attribute. An entire city burnt to the ground due to irresponsible policies should be punishable with jail time.
