Pretty much non-existent customer service at @cvspharmacy. Feel bad for patients who must endure this...

[Darren Phelan, MD @docphelan]

Not sure why patients would be using @cvspharmacy . As a provider, I'm now on hold 45 minutes to speak with a pharmacist...

[Darren Phelan, MD @docphelan]

Connected with a pharmacist now with only "that's the way it is"....And no Store manager available to speak with...

@Dallinar @PeterAttiaMD 3/3. So Phil's statistics don’t really apply here, to the question of who is the best team in 2021. Cherry picked stats, partial to the answer, not his wheelhouse of expertise. Smart or passionate does not equal “expert”. Seems like wading into Dr. Oz territory.

@Dallinar @PeterAttiaMD 2/3. Phil loves the Bills and asserts they are “the best team in football”. The Bills led the league in Total Defense, Passing Defense, Scoring Offense and are 3rd in Total Offense (so pretty compelling argument). Only problem, the Bills are no longer in the playoffs…

@Dallinar @PeterAttiaMD Phil Mickelson starts a golf podcast. Nobody better to discuss the intricacies. His wheelhouse. After some time, the podcast ventures into areas like football. Phil's an amazing athlete (but not a football expert, he is just passionate about it.. so why not discuss?).

@PeterAttiaMD @PeterAttiaMD Can you compare and contrast this argument to mandating seat belts/motorcycle helmets, etc? We do these to lessen risk/hospital burden/unnecessary death...

[Darren Phelan, MD @docphelan]

@cvspharmacy Is it policy of CVS to turn away customers when the “insurance doesn’t go through “ for a COVID booster?

[Darren Phelan, MD @docphelan]

@karenlsweeney Seems like an Organizer Money Exemption, nothing more....

[Darren Phelan, MD @docphelan]

@AdityaPolsani99 @mcelarier Might not “fear”, but definitely needs “respect”…

@Craig_A_Spencer Thanks for working @Craig_A_Spencer and taking great care of everyone, no matter what.

24/The trifecta of mass rapid testing, EN, and oral therapies could be the killer combination against omicron and future variants. Anyone who gets an EN should get tested immediately, isolate/quarantine to break transmission, and get rapid access to a therapy if positive.

18/ The sooner we can accept this reality, the more likely that we can act with the force of conviction and commitment required to bring the virus under control.
