I’ve really enjoyed my first year in the @NCSP_UCSF fellowship so far! Grateful to my amazing mentors and co-fellows in this program for helping me engage with state health policy here in CA
Interested in hearing more about our channels for collaboration? @RohanRastogiMD and Dr. Arons share their first-hand experiences working as a team within NCSP.

@nikitabier sounds like @vaibhavverma92 read your mind when he created Truffle, the app my friends and I use for restaurant rec and visit tracking https://t.co/NynkacLIbl
Once, a woman stopped me in the lobby. "I'm sorry, I can’t find the ICU.” I showed her where to go.
An hour later, I was called to the room—her husband was dying from cancer.
That was the day I decided to treat every person in the hospital as if it were their hardest day.
Today was an emotional day in clinic. And here are how people amazed me, taught me, and humbled me.
1. A young women with a gang-related tattoo said today she’s an advocate for children with broken homes. “Just because you come from brokenness, doesn’t mean you have to stay with brokenness.” But living paycheck to paycheck, she couldn’t pay for a $4 prescription.
2. An older man told me he was working in 140 F environment without AC because he was saving money to afford dentures. “No one taught me how to take care of myself when I was younger. But today I’m showing my son the right ways.”
3. A young man with cancer lost his Medicaid due to policy changes right before his radiation therapy. His mom wrote to the congressman, charities, and the governor begging for money. Now he is back in treatment.
“People don’t take care of themselves.” Some say. Wrong. WE don’t take care of them. WE let people down as a system. WE have to do better.
Where do we start? By listening to their courageous stories. (And so much more.)
So amazed by this practice-changing work from friend and classmate @RahulAggarwalMD and co-authors! Excited to use their new tool with my patients to help make better shared decisions re: bleeding vs thrombotic risk when prescribing DOACs
1/ Our NEW @CircAHA study, simultaneously published with #ESCCongress
🚨 We develop and validate the NEW #DOAC Score
➡️ A bleeding risk score for patients with #afib on DOACs
✅ We find our DOAC Score outperforms prior risk scores, including the HAS-BLED

@bbheinz I use Microsoft OneNote (initially because that’s what my institution provides a subscription for), and now it’s working great. Search function can even find text in pictures, so if I take a screenshot of a powerpoint a picture of a whiteboard, it’s pretty easy to find it later!

Casually walking to a patient’s room with the ultrasound to check for right heart strain (consult for PE). IVC had a surprise waiting for me!
