@UBSschweiz Will do! As a matter of fact, some incredibly helpful people at the UBS office in Montreal, and a very helpful woman at tech support for UBS Switzerland helped me get everything sorted out. Thanks so much!

[Yvan Prkachin @YvanPrkachin]

@UBSschweiz I'm a private client, currently abroad in Canada with a serious banking issues, and I CANT FIND A WAY TO CONTACT UBS SWITZERLAND ANYWHERE!! PLEASE DM ME, as I really need to speak to a representative immediately

[Yvan Prkachin @YvanPrkachin]

@NikeService Done! Thanks so much!

[Yvan Prkachin @YvanPrkachin]

@Charalanahzard Agreed. Announcing a game early may be annoying, but I want to see all the money and time end up on the screen. Rockstar's earned the right to take their time at this point.

@kekocher @AnnalsofIM @lisadebode If you had a few minutes to chat about this, maybe follow and DM me? Would be very curious to get your perspective on some sepsis-related matters...

[Yvan Prkachin @YvanPrkachin]

@kekocher @AnnalsofIM Thanks Keith! And good call. A number of the people that @lisadebode and I talked to for our piece in Undark mentioned sepsis as another interesting example. Appreciate the retweet!

@drdavemd @ACPinternists Thanks @drdavemd!

For any who are interested, my piece in @cbmhbchm on Wilder Penfield and Ewen Cameron. The research was prompted by a simple question from the late Michael Bliss to me: "Did Penfield ever do any lobotomies?" Here is my lengthy answer. https://t.co/84UFPXIN3D
