Over HALF of new melanoma diagnoses among white Americans in the United States likely represent overdiagnosis. New research out in @JAMADerm. THREAD! 🧵

@arsheffey You can see the love between you in the beautiful photo you posted. She was a cherished sister, it’s clear. So terribly sorry for your loss.
@US_FDA is failing our patients. Even simply asking for transparency from the Isotretinoin Products Manufacturers Group (IPMG) about prescriptions filled over time (to track progress) and holding daily meeting to force senior leadership from IPMG to participate would help.
In the absence of definitive action from FDA and iPLEDGE sponsors, the AADA and pharmacy stakeholders will be submitting a joint letter to FDA sharing proposed solutions and calling for immediate action. Please share your stories to: [email protected] and [email protected]
iPLEDGE update day 10:
-Website and call center remain dysfunctional
-Patients cannot login
-Sponsors and platform administrators not willing to engage to fix issues
-@US_FDA is not doing enough. Need to halt iPLEDGE and to force sponsors/platform administrators to the table
My patient on #iPledge reported doing the patient confirmation multiple times on @Google#Chrome did not work but while on hold, tried @Microsoft#Edge and was able to confirm the first time through. Is this a fluke? Anyone else encountered this? @AADskin@US_FDA#browser
@arcadial@Google@Microsoft@AADskin@US_FDA There are definitely browser issues, particularly for persons who can become pregnant. @US_FDA needs to halt iPLEDGE immediately until these are addressed.
Massive failures like #iPledge need to put companies out of business. Individuals need to face personal responsibility.
Instead it’s a worthless system causing direct patient harm and executives walking away with millions.
