@NASEM_Health @theNASEM Is the National Academies site down? Trying to log into the Harm Reduction Workshop, but getting:
“404 Page Not Found Error message”.

This is sickening

“Today’s shameful ruling is simply one more reminder that the American people cannot rely on their government or their courts to protect them,” Teamsters president Sean O’Brian said in a statement. https://t.co/Ep5SyhyCf8

Confronting the greed of capitalism is really the heart of organizing healthcare labor

[Tony Okolo, MD MPH @Dr_Warhel]

Excellent and timely writeup.

From predatory Medicare Advantage programs to unscrupulous hospitals feigning struggle while storing excess profits in banks and executive salaries, all while patients and taxpayers bear the cost of this excessive greed.

I absolutely support NYSNA’s demand for measures for better patient safety.

[Dr Tiffany Lu @TiffanyLuMD]

“Irony” - today walking past this publicity campaign in the hospital lobby while the reality is day 2 of the nursing strike whose main focus is patient safety with better nursing staffing ratios (macarena blasting and so much spirit despite the freezing cold outside)

[The New York Times @nytimes]

By letting people use drugs on site and under the supervision of social and medical workers, rather than alone, a project in Rhode Island is hoping to curb overdose deaths and infectious diseases. https://t.co/7BjanIPvQk

Trying to start my patient on buprenorphine… CVS just required me to CANCEL their abilify (long-standing home med) because of a medication “interaction” in order to dispense the buprenorphine… @cvspharmacy I hope you know this doesn’t make any sense who do I complain to! 🤯

Here's our piece from last night on drug overdoses and harm reduction...https://t.co/bVSUWnwLXN

[NEXT Distro @NEXTDistro]

Appears that a major indicator of success on the SAMSHA grant is # of referrals to support services and # of linkages to support services. 🧵

[NEXT Distro @NEXTDistro]

Just realized there is a 155-page Budget Narrative Template Guide for the SAMHSA #harmreduction grant. If you are feeling particularly depressed and beaten down by this process, you're not alone. We are too. 🧵

[ben hayes @benthayes]

@GinjanBros Hey! When are you gonna open up again? Please tweet hours!

[Christopher Moraff @moraffreports]
