🚨New article: Osteoporosis is important health issue but reviews of tx often fail to distinguish primary and secondary prevention of fx. Primary prevention data is weak, vertebral fx benefit unclear. Carefully consider before rx. #osteoporosis@amjmed https://t.co/kEXRvDLWFy

@bachyns The privatization of sports is absurd and startling to me as a new parent and former player myself. I've got family with older kids - the cost of participation and even just to attend the games is incredible. Not surprising we'll see more inequities this way.
Potentially a large number of South Carolinians may lose Medicaid. @AppleseedSC hosting a webinar this Friday 3/31 for clinicians to learn more and how to advise patients. DM me for details.
