@WJCLNews A.J. Did such a great job on our Candida auris story, they reported it in the U.K. You have an awesome team! Ammonia based hospital cleaners do NOT kill this. Resistance and Mortality is slowly growing with this.

Not advice just a way to think of this if it helps…. Thoughts?

Entresto (ANRI) —> HFrEF = possible improvement in EF.

FDA Approves First Medication for Obstructive Sleep Apnea | FDA

This would be great news if the FDA didn’t just make it almost impossible for those with limited means to get it by shutting down the more affordable compounding options. #healthequity https://t.co/pvpoyUZ0Bz

Burnout isn't about hours worked.

In fact, there are usually much deeper causes.

Leaders should start to recognize when it's occurring,

And take steps to help.

We have known this for a long time and this is just more data to support how many American lives these medications can save if they were only available at a price point most Americans can afford.

[Michael Albert, MD @MichaelAlbertMD]

Tirzepatide is associated with significantly lower rates of opioid overdose and alcohol intoxication in high-risk populations with substance use disorders. This is 1000% consistent with my clinical experience!!

#HurricaneHelene damaged the factory responsible for manufacturing over 60% of all IV fluids used in the US, leading to a major national shortage.

As clinicians what can we do to about the #IVFluidShortage and how can we prevent this crisis from happening again?

#zepbound #elililly needs to update the website with the new cash price for the low dose you just broadcast to the entire country on #GMA.

[Tim Connelly, MD, MBA, FACP @TimConnellyMD]

OK #Wegovy can we get $299 and $499? It’s less weight loss than the Zepbound. This is not cheep but it is the closest I have seen to fair pricing for a drug this effective at reducing disease burden. Now insurers both private and public need to step up and cover this!
