Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker https://t.co/cQzbWggk46

@UnhealthyAlcDrg @The_BMC @BMCAddictionMed Today I doubled checked something in uptodate about alcohol withdrawal. It was authored by the late Dr. Rich Saitz. Rich, thank you for teaching me about what it means to be a doctor. We miss you. https://t.co/4wjETLSv47

@QOL4olderadults Yes! One of the perks of being a research in older adults! I wish it was an outcome that nih would accept!

Tears in my eye on home visits today listening to caregivers say they got the vaccine. Because in addition to being primary caretakers for a family member they also work in nursing homes and hospitals. These families are my family @The_BMC @AAHCMedicine @BUgeriatrics

@gretchemaben Thank you for being so honest and eloquent. As a nursing home doc, I went through so many similar feelings. Hugs.

Using VA data we found a 25% reduction in all-cause mortality and 20% reduction in CV-mortality in new statin users >75 years. Same in those >90 and with dementia. Age should not be a reason to withhold statins! https://t.co/FGuZI7aXuP
