Restoring the doctor-patient relationship, one visit at a time. :) Physician/owner at Direct MD Austin

[Afshine Emrani MD FACC @afshineemrani]

1/ I'm a cardiologist. I've practiced for twenty-five years, through a lot of "breakthroughs" that turned out to be press releases. So understand the weight of what I'm about to say: I have never seen a single week in medicine like the one we just lived through.
In the span of a few days, four separate scientific breakthroughs landed. The stock market treated them as four unrelated stories and sent a handful of biotech companies soaring. But that's the shallow read. Look closer and they are not four stories at all. They are four faces of the same story — the biggest shift in medicine since the discovery of antibiotics.

Medicine is becoming programmable. Individualized. Written for one human being instead of the average of millions.

Let me walk you through exactly what happened, in plain language, and show you where this is actually headed. Because the future arrived quietly this week, and most people scrolled right past it.

It's never the wrong time to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Sarah Hallberg. 💛🌈 What a pioneer she was, and a tireless advocate for dietary carbohydrate restriction as a simple & financially accessible option for millions: https://t.co/OqxHomyN4W

I’m excited to use the new Lingo CGM and app from Abbott.

@nicknorwitz @JAMACardiology Can we be sure those “deposits” aren’t from Flaming Hot Cheetos?

Diabetes reversal

[P.D. Mangan Health & Freedom Maximalist 🇺🇸 @Mangan150]

People perked up when they found out about diabetes reversal, so the authors put up a website on how to do it.

Then a bunch of people reversed their diabetes.

From reading a website.

61% reversal.

@IMWHorvitz Yeah, but haven’t gotten the hang of it yet

[Kira Peikoff @KiraPeikoff]

Thanks Michael. If enough people make noise about this, maybe we can make it happen.

[Michael Garrett @DirectMDAustin]

@beesmarthealth Yes, it’s a legitimate superfood!

@NeuCare She’s a harsh mistress

[Michael Garrett @DirectMDAustin]

I’d like to dedicate this meal—obscenely rich in saturated fats—to the American College of Cardiology!

[Michael Garrett @DirectMDAustin]

@IMWHorvitz I too, miss the crunch of chips or savory snacks. The Carnivore bar is a nice occasional crunchy “crutch.”

@MHChs @AAPSonline @senatortomdavis @SCMedAssoc @ChasMedSociety @AmerMedicalAssn Which state was this?

[Kris Held,MD @kksheld]

Hey! How about we cowgirl up, and make a shet ton of masks, shields, gear, ventilators,hydroxychloroquine tabs, vitamin C, D, Zinc,azithromycin, and stop just cowering in hysterical insane fear under rolls of toilet paper. Let's stop losing our shet and make some shet!
