Wishing Bronny James a fast and full recovery. Another high profile athlete suffers SCA is another reminder of how critical CPR, rapid use of AEDs, and trained medical professionals are in saving lives. Every second counts.
Ten current papers for the curious general cardiologist, covering topics including betablockers after MI, bioresorbable stents, oesophageal fistula after AF ablation & safety of testosterone replacement

Things I've Learned to Not Be Mad About in Hospital Medicine Over The Years:
- ED admissions w/no labs (I trust them)
- Taking any Ortho patient (not their job to know med)
- Social admits (they still need us!)
- Angry patients (I get it)
- Not knowing the answer to something
The pause on student loan payments has given borrowers room to breathe, but this isn't over yet. The next step for @POTUS is to use his existing authority to #CancelStudentDebt. Making student debt relief permanent is the right thing to do.
Student debt holds people back from starting businesses, buying homes, and saving for the future. @POTUS, 2022 is a great year to keep your promise and #CancelStudentDebt.
Omicron - you get it, right? All bets are off.
-6 ft. is nonsense.
-15 minutes makes no sense.
-Cloth masks, forget about it.
-PCR a couple of days before an event, not even.
All things many people I know still believe.
1) What do I think about Omicron now that some neutralization data is available? My impression hasn't change. We seem to see a drastic reduction in neutralizing activity, far more than with previous variants. Little activity was left in vaccinated individuals and it is likely....
1) My gut feeling from hearing of Omicron cases in Botswana, ex-Malawi, ex-Egypt (2 now it seems) and in South Africa is, that the variant was flying under the radar in undersequenced countries for some time until Botswana and South Africa detected it and sounded the alarm.
remdesivir is just an IV equivalent of ivermectin. it’s past time to stop using it. everyone loves making fun of ivermectin, but it’s harder to clean up our own act.
@lilaflavin “I Am a Strange Loop” – completely changed the way I think about thinking, the way I experience relationships, and the way I see life in general
I am a Pediatric Allergist. My husband works at home so I can work full time.
I have followed #COVID19 vaccine data closely, and reviewed Pfizer's safety & efficacy data in children <12.
We WILL vaccinate our 4, 8 and 11 year old children with confidence. THANK YOU science!
more hot garbage from VP. students and trainees understand medicine more clearly than anyone- they’re often the closest to the patient, with the greatest empathy. sometimes they remind me to break rules & pull out all the stops when usual treatment fails

@DGlaucomflecken The man is telling the truth.
ERAS has become the AAMC’s cash cow, with revenue (and revenue growth) that far outpaces their other programs.
In 2019, ERAS took in $94 million in revenue - more than doubling its revenue from a decade before.
