Seminal work in the field🔥

Amazing work by @ruben_hernaez @RajivJalan1 and the @ModelConsortium. This marks the one of many steps in moving the needle in the care for patients with ACLF.

Liver consult service at Baylor St. Luke's spares time for boba!

[Howard T. Lee MD FAST @HowardTLeeMD]

@VictorChedidMD @IrisWangMD @ReshamRamMD @MayoClinicGIHep I also do at least one #boba🧋round every time I am on #liver service!!

We have a 🧋shop right across the street from our 🏥@StLukesHealthTX @bcm_gihep which is quite dangerous 😆

@JDGomezMD @Dr_M_Alsayid @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee While in a long flight, lactulose and diuretics would be difficult to take as scheduled. CPT C have high probability of varices that might bleed.

@JDGomezMD @Dr_M_Alsayid @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee An airline might not let them him travel with them if he looks unwell and his condition may worsen during the flight.

[Avegail Flores @avegailf]

@JDGomezMD @ruben_hernaez @GCholankeril @HowardTLeeMD @nicole_rich8 @CLindenmeyerMD @john_ricemd @AtoosaRabiee The only safe place for him is in the transplant list and to stay until after transplant. Agree with a frank discussion of a high short-term morality risk that may occur while in the flight.

[Avegail Flores @avegailf]
