What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

@efb_1 @OXHarryH1 @ashishkjha @ajlamesa @RealRFKJR2024 @wolfblitzer Agreed, not complete. They left out the overdose epidemic which correlates very well with when the dip started (and overdose rates have finally been decreasing the past couple years).

@eemoin In my experience all traffic laws in Philly other than parking enforcement are essentially suggestions

@DrAdamBitterman @jbcarmody Also, and Dr. Carmody can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this acceleration in step 2 scores is more pronounced after step 1 went pass/fail, now that it's the only pre-residency standardized test taken in med school so all the pressure is on your step 2 score.

[Colin Sevareid, MD, MAUB @CSevareid]

@DrAdamBitterman @jbcarmody It's that secondary function causing the arms race in skyrocketing passing scores. At some point you have to wonder if it's really testing competency anymore if it really seems geared to identify excellence in memorization.

We owe it to our patients to be apolitical in the exam room, *and* to advocate against policies that will harm our patients / for policies that will help our patients' health in the public sphere.

[John Mandrola, MD @drjohnm]

It’s going to be difficult in the coming weeks but I think clinicians should try hard to stay apolitical in the public sphere. We owe it to our patients.

I BEG that people realistically consider what the text and images in the table they copied into their presentation will look like when projected.

It never seems to fail that the talk on diabetes management at a family medicine conference is the one that's going to feel the most like a sales pitch

@PaulNWilliamz What information did you hope to elicit from smelling a vinegar-based condiment?

[Colin Sevareid, MD, MAUB @CSevareid]

@Christinam762 @hubermanlab No, it reacts to *endogenous* cannabinoids. We have an endo-opioid system as well (utilized by endorphin - i.e. "endogenous morphine"). Without placing any moral judgement on use, these exogenous substances nonetheless exploit systems that exist for their own internal purposes.

I would not consider myself generally an alarmist about emerging environmental concerns, but I find this incredibly alarming: https://t.co/0FUqF6S4WD

@omarkandah @bfeiny You realize people make the same argument against their family members having residents and med students involved in their care, right? And yet it's the only way people learn in healthcare. That includes paramedics.

[Colin Sevareid, MD, MAUB @CSevareid]

@omarkandah @proftmdunn @bfeiny If your family member had to be intubated in the field, would you not want the medic doing it to have had opportunities to do it in a safe environment surrounded by experienced folks who could coach and step in if anything went wrong?

@AdamRodmanMD I can't for the life of me imagine people attacking you for holding this position.

Quacks citing problems in pharma make me laugh. FLAWS IN AIRCRAFT DESIGN DO NOT PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF MAGIC CARPETS.
