It's an older article but relevant to my work today as we try to understand maternal mortality. We can do better. We will do better. Structural Urbanism Contributes To Poorer Health Outcomes For Rural America | Health Affairs @Penn_DFMCH https://t.co/52qjAlYLrJ

Reports of my death—and that of the PrimaryCarePhysician—are greatly exaggerated.

Family medicine isn’t dead. It’s evolving. Rising.

not checkboxes & gatekeepers, AI can have 'em—Instead: Direct Relationship & access

Just online published in Academic Medicine:

Rural academic partnerships must be bidirectional—not unidirectional service.

Doing some other work, I stumbled across this article from 1934 by Moser describing my life as a #FamilyDoctor in a world of subspecialists.

Proud to have helped with this video supporting educators to make a difference in young men's lives. Hypertension is an epidemic that continues. Change comes not only with biomedicine. We are happy to host discussion groups with a screening. https://t.co/xkClEeWwe4

Nice work @BrettSeaton0. Thanks for taking the risk. Via @dailypenn https://t.co/SNrVFGZDTc

@HectorKilgoe Makes me chuckle.

Biden, McConnell, Feinstein, or Fetterman discussing age, infirmity, mental acuity, or verbal difficulties of other politicians with reduced capacity is beyond ironic.

When science and advocacy merge, we fail to meet this basic requirement of science.

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

If you have a theory, you must try to explain what’s good and what’s bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty.

1. What are the causes of death in healthcare professionals? How do they compare to the gen population? Our study ➡️https://t.co/MmUXK8vGWv led by @KoboOfer and @DmitryAbramovMD used the National Occupational Mortality Surveillance (NOMS) dataset.
HCPs
👉⬇️ death rate from heart disease
👉⬆️ death from diabetes, suicide, hypertensive disorders

@mravega @JannekenSmucker There are rules against it. To stay within the rules, the school day would need to be extended to accommodate midday lunch.

This would impact work hours for teachers/staff, after school sports, and time in the evening for rest, homework, and dinner.

Breaking rules is easier.

[Dr. Kent Bream @BreamMD]

@think_teach1 @JannekenSmucker Go to the school board to change school policy, not your doctor’s office.

Using the health care system to achieve policy changes in the schools exacerbates supply shortages in health care. Don’t burn out your doctor asking for notes to beat the school system. Fix the schools.

Here’s the best, albeit flawed, analysis of COVID-19 pandemic policies and behaviours and their economic and educational trade-offs to date. For me the major point- division leads to distrust which leads to morbidity and mortality. https://t.co/C0041fQw6p

This keeps me up some nights.

Some people worry about specific diseases. I worry about pan drug resistance.

Thanks @AdamMGrant for referring me to this article on managing generosity. https://t.co/fdUguKFZnk

There are things that will make you angry or feel despair; we can each reach beyond those things to a better state. “Control yourself” in what you see and what you feel. You can’t control those other things. You can only control yourself. #Projects4Progress

[Dr. Kent Bream @BreamMD]

@PennMedicine and @Penn_DFMCH is at Chosen 300 tonight where the message was to “Reach beyond” what you see around you and find a bigger truth.

[Dr. Kent Bream @BreamMD]

@CMSgov ‘Universal Foundation’ is essentially another name for primary care but in many ways conflicts with @NASEM_Health Implementing High-Quality Primary Care https://t.co/iC1x1EbN9J measure recommendations. Please align these in the HHS Primary Care Action Plan.
