UK cohort of conservatively managed non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas Data guiding clinical practice. Many thanks to all collaborators! @ESEndocrinology @TheEndoSociety @PituitarySoc @ENEAssoc @unibirm_CMH @UoB_MSS @BHPComms

Let’s be clear. Healthcare is a human right. It is a foundation, like education that builds and sustains society. It should never be about profit and it never generates revenue. It’s about a patient’s needs & not a shareholder’s return. Anyone who tells you otherwise is stealing.

Proud of this collaborative work with neurosurgical colleagues! Care for patients with prolactinoma (and other pituitary tumours) should be multidisciplinary and patient centred. @CalDomMed @DCNSNeuro @HotchkissBrain @yycneurosurgery

@picardonhealth @Leigh_Revers @nationalpost @picardonhealth I’m disappointed you amplified this.. truly an awful take rooted in bigotry from someone outside the profession

Thank you @Karavitaki_Niki and the @TheEndoSociety committee for inviting me to present and for a great meeting! #ENDO2024

[Niki Karavitaki @Karavitaki_Niki]

Well done to my previous fellow @Kclithgow for her lecture on management of non-functioning pituitary microadenomas at #ENDO2024 in the symposium Hot Topics in Pituitary Disease! Bravo Kirstie!

@TheBreakdownAB This is pseudo consultation at best @Albertadoctors

[Kirstie Lithgow @Kclithgow]

@BonnieMeikle1 @PfParks Odd how it coincided with the collapse of our health care system

[Kirstie Lithgow @Kclithgow]

@Albertadoctors I’m a physician and IMO this is a bad look for us. I would rather see advocacy on more important issues impacting our profession like regulating our practices around gender medicine and opioid rx. We look like greedy a**holes.

[Kirstie Lithgow @Kclithgow]

It only applies to passive gains, not earned income so if you are investing in the stock market you would need to have millions to reach the 250k threshold in passive income

[Kirstie Lithgow @Kclithgow]

Hot take: Physicians publicly complaining about the capital gains tax is at best, tone deaf, and at worst, insufferable

[Kirstie Lithgow @Kclithgow]

@RonSigal1 MDs impacted by this are earning passive income through millions $ in their corps. This is extraordinary wealth relative to average Canadians currently trying to afford the basics

@AdrianaLaGrange This is a disturbing statement coming from our health minister. Are you completely ignorant to how our health care system works or are you lying to us?

[Kirstie Lithgow @Kclithgow]

This govt is only libertarian when it suits their political agenda. Remember how they were all about person freedoms when it came to vaccines? The only ideology that unifies this party is white supremacy and suppression of marginalized groups. #abpoli @Albertadoctors

[Kirstie Lithgow @Kclithgow]

@AdrianaLaGrange If that’s the case then let’s see some funding to keep this service functional. Words don’t mean anything when you are also paying lip service to naturopaths.
