As I mentioned on @NYUDocs today, I'm working on a new book to follow in the footsteps of Why Do Men Have Nipples? This time, @LeynerMark and I are answering all your questions about getting older. Anything special you want to know???
Extra thankful for this gift from @DianesFoodBlog after finding out I’m getting called in to cover a sick call on the overnight shift. Furious and surly but making the best of it.
Sorry no @NYUDocs Emergency Medicine live show today. NYC Public schools on mid winter break. Seeking a little rest and relaxation with the family.... Will be back live next week with @heshiegreshie
@NYUDocs @heshiegreshie @survivorcbs This picture was sent to the show and producer in the context of a discussion about “hat head”. I will be contacting my attorney to demand a clarification from @KeithKingTBD before this image does irreparable damage to my reputation and fragile male ego.
Given the passing of General Powell who was fully vaccinated
A lot of misinformation spreading about breakthrough infections

Let's put on our public health and clinician hats on this

@JoanneK64 @heshiegreshie @SIRIUSXM@MedNewsProducer @KeithKingTBD @nyulangoneEM Oh Joanne, so sorry to let you down but @NYUDocs is on hiatus this week. If I had the technical skills of @DoctorDarienMD I could do an instagram live or something but instead this old man will just be sleeping in. Until next week... Be well!
@JoanneK64@SIRIUSXM @heshiegreshie @MedNewsProducer @KeithKingTBD Oh Joanne. So sorry but we won’t be live tomorrow. Happy Canada day to you all up North 🇨🇦. And a Happy and Healthy 4th of July to all here in the 🇺🇸. Speak to you next week!!
In the face of growing opposition from doctors and hospitals, UnitedHealthcare has decided to delay a policy aimed at cutting back on reimbursements for emergency room visits. Hospital groups had called the shift misguided, especially during the pandemic. https://t.co/ZSWEyVQEaF
I want to dedicate today’s radio show to Dr. Brian Fletcher a kind, gentle, hilarious soul. He had a gift for keeping us smiling from afar. He will always be missed and never forgotten. @ SiriusXM Doctor Radio @ NYU https://t.co/PgY5kzqxQK
One of the greatest joys of being a physician is watching colleagues in action. For over a year, our nation’s frontline doctors have showed up – day-after-day, with quiet & selfless bravery – to help people heal during the pandemic. Today, we celebrate you. #NationalDoctorsDay
The ED is a safety net for those w/ access issues. Let's be a vaccine safety net
- Stock JNJ: particularly in city hospitals
- Offer to patients who have access barriers: homelessness, lack of transport, no internet access etc
We can help fix this @ACEPNow @DoctorsForBiden
Getting a vaccine shields you from severe Covid disease—and could save your life. But it's not yet clear how well it prevents you from spreading the virus. Until more of us are protected and the science is clear, masks and distancing keep everyone safer.
