@DavidAFrench @BenSasse @DouthatNYT Agreed - it was phenomenal and thought provoking on many levels.

Spot on: “ I remain in this field because the work matters profoundly….But my love for this specialty does not blind me to its structural problems or to the reality that the next generation may not choose ID unless we fix these persistent issues.”

Just to be clear, the measles outbreak is due to one thing and one thing only

Low vaccination rates

Poor diet and health is bad

It has nothing to do with what is happening with the measles in the US

[Kate Mullin, MD @KateMullinID]

@American_Girl please return to focusing on the *stories* (+ accompanying dolls, outfits, + accessories) of historic American girls. There are enough companies that make generic modern dolls + Disney princess dolls. Why can’t we even buy the books about the OG dolls now? #inspire

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

This @foxnews interview of @SecKennedy is beyond absurd

No, steroids don't treat measles

No Cod Liver Oil doesn't treat measles

Vitamin A helps in poor countries where kids have vitamin deficiency

Managing measles is about prevention (vaccines), not quack treatments

If someone thinks the measles outbreak and childhood death in Texas are "not unusual" or that these things "happen all the time", they are deeply misinformed. Don't be fooled. https://t.co/HB1lRPW64W

Hey you! Yeah you, with the well run successful medical practice. You don’t need to sell to private equity! If you do…

Your staff will look for other jobs.

You and your senior partners (financial beneficiaries of PE transaction) will lose motivation forcing younger partners/associates to pick up the slack

Your younger partners/associates will resent you, but won’t be able to say anything due to power dynamics and fear of retribution from PE overlords

You’ll lose your recruiting edge

You will not practice medicine the way you want, you will practice medicine the way private equity wants

Patients will say things like “why is everybody so grumpy here?” and “what happened to this place?”

Instead, keep your practice, you’re doing great!

Truly *astonishing* research on marriage & cancer:

For “prostate, breast, colorectal, esophageal, and head/neck cancers, the survival benefit associated with marriage was larger than the published survival benefit of chemotherapy.”

For the same underlying reason, would be interesting to see if lack of access to ID consultants was a barrier given that the uptake is most poor in small and rural hospitals - places that often have poor access to ID specialists

[Kate Mullin, MD @KateMullinID]

“The researchers could not confirm if the cost was a deterrent and so the new antibiotics were not placed on hospital formularies, the list of medicines covered by insurance. But Kadri indicated this was possible.” <- a core issue, not a side bar. https://t.co/DF0i4u54BC

We need to shout this louder for the youngsters in the back 👏👏👏

Moderate stress, when paired with adequate recovery, helps us grow. This is as true in life as it is in the gym.

Bravo @ClevelandClinic ID physician and @IDSAInfo President Steven Schmitt. I hope @ABIMcert takes this commentary and analysis seriously. https://t.co/WoDObKLKp2

Pretty much every day @jeffreymullinmd + my children ask us to get them a pet. I feel a little guilty that we don’t have one BUT then I am reminded of my favorite medical school lecture “10 reasons you shouldn’t own a cat” and read reports like this…….. https://t.co/Ost3gQXnE8

“They paged me what?”: A transplant infectious disease guide to donor calls

Proud of this paper, & some great co-authors who conceived it. Understanding and balancing donor risk is not something we frankly teach well. We try to tease it out here❤️

👇🏻this is what our society needs to hear more. It’s normal (+ healthy) for kids to sometimes feel frustrated or unhappy-> leads to necessary emotional development + honing of healthy coping mechanisms. @LDamour 👏👏👏 - I recommend your books to all of my fellow moms of tweens!

[Lisa Damour, PhD @LDamour]

Being mentally healthy does not mean being happy all the time.

[Kate Mullin, MD @KateMullinID]

@abe_verghese My favorite of your books! Should be required reading for all medical students #meded

[Kate Mullin, MD @KateMullinID]

Recently I have been reflecting on the wild ride in the ID/ infection control worlds over the last several years………..this advocacy remains some of my most meaningful work. https://t.co/iVJgamOvrr @LaurenKuwikMD
