1/Here is DEA’s complete safety plan for legacy pain patients left stranded when they just shut down a California doc who saw “opioid refugees”
It’s a list of ERs!😨
DEA closed down a doc.
Within days, one I previously interviewed is dead by suicide and another is scrambling
@DrCindyCooper @BrownHospMed Fresh water exposure including municipal water! Tragic story from 2015 in Louisiana when a child died from Naegleria. It was found in the water supply. https://t.co/dbX3ZRTf0y
@TamiMark2@pewtrusts@RTI_Intl Long list of recommended PROMs to consider to monitor recovery. Implementing PROMs alone is a Herculean effort. When, how often, what mode? Any update on the APA/CMS collab referenced?
Feeling powerless to harness the reachable moment when patients using stimulants are hospitalized with infection? Worried about patient-directed discharge?
Us too.
Check out my poster (virtually!!) describing our pilot of a novel adaptation of contingency management... 1/10
Fantastic work by @AyeshaAppaMD! CM is low hanging fruit - it’s cheap, effective, easily adaptable to so many settings, and yet still widely unavailable. We can do better!
@NIAAAnews Hot off the press! @MarinaGaeta1 et al show patients prefer person-first descriptors. Decrease stigma & be patient-centered is a win for all. https://t.co/qu1ncVqlZH
An isolation period of 5 days after Covid is totally inadequate for most people. New report from >63,000 people. Negative rapid tests are an essential guide

1/I want to highlight a new way selling out one’s academic profile- here a @JohnsHopkinsDOM doc has made his Twitter channel a “sincere” advertisement for an inhaler, “sponsored” by AstraZeneca
The false statement by the faculty member is concerning
