@SenBillCassidy You voted to confirm him. Children are going to die from communicable diseases that were nearly eradicated, and you have only yourself to blame.
I hope you can sleep at night.

We’re behind the scenes with Eric Ruderman, MD (@JointMD), Irene Blanco, MD, Anisha Dua, MD (@Anisha_Dua), and Carrie Richardson, MD (@CLRichardson312), as they discuss updates in #rheumatology for an upcoming Better Edge podcast episode. Please share your thoughts on what topics you think will be covered in this episode!

The rheumatology workforce shortage poses significant challenges to patient care, with predictions of a drastic mismatch between demand and available providers. Laura Arneson, MD, and Brian Jaros, MD, highlight contributing factors like rising disease prevalence, insufficient training funding and increased retirements, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This shortage results in longer wait times and limited access for patients, especially in rural areas. At Northwestern Medicine, we’re implementing initiatives to combat clinician burnout and enhance patient care through mentorship and dedicated nursing support. Learn how:

Neil Young personally allowed the Harris-Walz campaign to use his song "Rockin' in the Free World" as Walz exited tonight, a campaign official says. (Walz personally chose the song, given it's a favorite of his.)
Young previously sued the Trump campaign to stop them from using it.

@uptoTate @philseo @RheumNow Dr. Phil Seo: “If Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were both diagnosed with vasculitis today, there is NO WAY they would need the same dose of medication. I mean, on a volume basis alone, Travis Kelce is at least two Taylor Swifts.”
