Loved using cruisemesh on our recent trip!

Glad to hear our prayer study covered on News/Talk 98.7 FM @987newstalk in Knoxville! Our @AnnFamMed trial found intercessory prayer reduced pain and anxiety in primary care patients, with benefit regardless of the recipient's own beliefs https://t.co/TBqQqpL9Zi

HEALING HANDS: Just 5 minutes of in-person prayer reduced pain and anxiety more than music in a randomized trial of 180 patients — and the benefits lasted up to six weeks, University of Maryland researchers found.

The study suggests trained prayer volunteers could be integrated into outpatient medical settings for interested patients as a low-cost complement to standard care.

Proximal intercessory prayer may be a low-cost, non-pharmacologic complement to standard care for many patients. Grateful to my coauthors and our team @ummedschool @UMBaltimore. Read the full paper: https://t.co/yM6haE2erk

New in @AnnFamMed: In an RCT of 180 family medicine patients with pain and/or anxiety, 5 min of in-person prayer led to greater relief than music, with benefits lasting 2 weeks for pain and 6 weeks for anxiety. Here's what we found🧵

[Dr. Katie Jacobson @DrKateJake]

A notable subgroup finding: Black participants reported larger improvements in both pain and anxiety than other participants. That's worth a closer look in future research.

@matthew_loftus More and more schools are doing 3 year accelerated primary care tracks. I don't think that they're increasing the numbers going into primary Care though. These are students that were interested in Primary Care to begin with.

Our new pharmacy benefit manager says they won't cover the EpiPen for my toddler or the insulin for my husband with T1DM. Meanwhile, they're driving up healthcare costs for companies and taxpayers while making billions with hidden rebates. @DOGE & @elonmusk pls get rid of PBMs!!

@elonmusk We need more investment in primary care/family medicine - the experts in care coordination!

Here’s a NEW peer-reviewed case study of the miraculous healing of an apparent genetic disease through prayers in the name of Jesus. The case was carefully investigated by a team of MDs and PhDs. Check out this summary: https://t.co/8XY6l69CWo

@POTUS Time for the fair tax

[Dr. Katie Jacobson @DrKateJake]

Last night, I smiled at a newborn doing skin-to-skin with his mom after birth. I've known him from before he was born. Mom's cousin looked up at me and said, "You have the coolest job in the world." She's right. #FMOB #familymedicine

Hey @CDCgov and @US_FDA! Over 1/3 of my daughter's K class was out with influenza-like illness yesterday. Time for some strong flu messaging and home flu tests!
