@POTUS Mr. President, I’m a pulmonologist in Kansas, and most of my patients can’t afford their inhalers. When will we see inhaled medications added to this list? @POTUS #lung #breathe

Students at Staley High School in Kansas City, Missouri, walked out of class on Tuesday to march for Ralph Yarl, their Black classmate who was shot twice on Thursday by an 84-year-old white man after going to the wrong address to pick up his brothers.

@lauraathomas @scott_matson @doctormcintosh @SahilMPandya @KUIMchiefs @LeighEckMD @ClaireBearTris @ashelizabeth052 @AliRueschhoff @amandaj422 Wonder if disparities reflect similar disparities among fellows and attendings? Would be a good journal club article to spark conversation.

✳️Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer related death among males aged 20-39 and 40-49 ‼️It was third among 20-39 age group last year.
✳️ Concerning trend is also seen in young women; CRC related death and will likely surpass breast cancer in near future @OncoAlert

We are all so grateful that Damar Hamlin of the @buffalobills continues to recover but our prayers for him continue for a complete recovery. Check out this @nytimes headline in this morning’s Sunday paper.

Buffalo's football team, the Bills, offered a beloved distraction for a city that has been buffeted, for months, by one tragedy after another — until the horrifying collapse of the team’s 24-year-old safety, Damar Hamlin, on Monday night. https://t.co/l1AFca3htp

So what does "zero mile" visibility look like? Well, here's a spectacular view of our parking lot near the airport. Yes, there are cars parked just a few feet away.

We don't even want to be parked in it, you *definitely* don't want to be driving in it. Seriously.

@katymorganwx Go Bills! ❤️ 🦬

I’ve witnessed plenty of video conferencing faux pas during the #pandemic, but today was the first time I’ve seen someone hop into the shower and start lathering up with the mic and camera on 😱 #oops #MedTwitter

@sqsimp I pumped in a closet last fall. Not acceptable! I have had friends in other cities report similar issues.

@JeeyeonC @VUMC_Medicine @vumcdiabetes How great!! Congrats, Jeeyeon!!
