@AAPMR @USDOT That is a great step forward, and critical for the participants in the Accessible Alpine Adventure Tours (https://t.co/UqFAwij0sv). Traveling to Europe with WC anxiety may be a thing of the past.

Just in case there was any doubt about the adorable nature of PM&R... We were recently rated as the "most civil" specialty by a large hospital system. Look who's #2? Ophtho! #aapmr24 @DGlaucomflecken @aapmr @abpmr @UWRehabMed

New DNA technique suggests Ludwig van Beethoven was the son of an extra-marital affair, and died of liver failure at age 56 from a Hep B infection combined with possible hemochromatosis. #hairanalysis #DNA #Beethoven A mystery solved 200 years later. https://t.co/TTFyvLI87g

@DGA12 Those are "lane markers" but they sure do look like the bodies of those who didn't make it to the other side!

Polar plunge, Anchorage, Alaska. That's me in the white coat, holding hands with RN (and COVID survivor) to "press the reset button" for 2023. At zero degrees Fahrenheit, this activity will get your attention! Are you looking forward to a reset?

• United Health will PROFIT about $22.3 billion this year.
• 50% of hospitals will lose money this year.
• 47% of US healthcare workers plan to leave within the next 3 years.

That is the current state of US healthcare, and it should terrify everyone.
