Novel, tech-forward approaches to care delivery reach patients where they need us and inspires burnt-as-toast physicians to love their work again.

@AmtrakNECAlerts ❤️ @AmtrakNECAlerts please offer our sincere thanks to all Amtrak staff on 2163 today. They’re doing a great job. Particular thanks to the Cafe car attendant for single-handedly bringing joy to a crowd of weary travelers.

Came back to Twitter just to read this thread start to finish 📚 Proof that virtual community [... and virtual healthcare] can still bring out the best in all of us.

We were meant to have been there for 2 hours. After an hour of nobody in the store we told the store manager that we were going back to our hotel and that we would be in the bar, and if anyone came to get a book signed to send them there to us. Nobody came.

Because we had coffee two hours ago and now it’s time for second breakfast? (Second breakfast being, usually, the high point of our day & last meal until 8pm.)

What is it with people in healthcare drinking diet coke at 7:00am?

New: AG Merrick Garland says SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade has eliminated a fundamental right — adds “the FDA has approved the use of the medication Mifepristone. States may not ban Mifepristone based on disagreement with the FDA’s expert judgment about its safety and efficacy.”

Don’t just say it. Prove it.

If you are in digital health and want to support women, now is your moment. It’s time to get creative. We say we are about access for those who don’t have it — so let’s prove it.

[Christina Farr @chrissyfarr]

We seem to care a whole lot about forcing women to have children but not very much about supporting them after the fact.

@chrissyfarr .@emjay418 is one of the sharpest, yet real, elementary educators around. She's an internationally lauded DC public school teacher. There is so much need, and so many 'easy wins' (for health and finance) in keeping kids & families well and within access to care.

The state of US #Healthcare is nuts 👇.....one of the many reasons we started @khealth

Vaccines cause adults.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I’ve already outlined vaccine requirements that will reach millions of Americans. Today, I’m announcing a new step: If you work in a nursing home and serve Medicare or Medicaid enrollees, you will also be required to get vaccinated.

[K Health @khealth]

[Mark Tluszcz @marktluszcz]

Why I love @khealth "We weren’t happy with the #healthcare system...so we're changing it"...

@chrissyfarr @OMERSVentures The working mom tribe. We are a tribe like no other. We are so glad to have you in our camp!

No human can be the greatest of all time, all the time. Let's make that okay.

[K Health @khealth]

Congrats @Simone_Biles for another amazing Olympics. Mental health is health and we applaud everyone who puts themselves first 👏.

[Andy Mychkovsky @healthcareandy]

72% of ER physicians report burnout.

Congress made lots of nice speeches thanking them.

But we need to stop thanking and start passing bills like the Dr. Lorna Breen Act to support clinician mental health.

[Chesney Fowler, MD @chesneyfowler]

@chrissyfarr At least you can still remember what the question was.

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

The good thing about Science is that it’s true, whether or not you believe in it.

[Daniel Kraft, MD @daniel_kraft]

The “Digital Determinants of Health” are key...

Everyone knows the tree and the angels in Rockefeller Center at Christmas. In DC, these are our angels. Last year, the cherry blossoms bloomed 2 weeks into lockdown. This year, again they bloomed.

@DrMohdZein @Caulimovirus I even have a specific .phrase explaining why I am giving haldol to a lucid but intractably vomiting adult. Who smells oddly like a skunk despite his fifth shower in 24 hours. 🩺 Single diagnosis differential.
