The @DEAHQ wants people to go through an uncessary physical to get opioid addiction treatment. I scheduled a physical to see what the fuss is about. A 🧵

10/10 FOMO only watching from afar as ~500 students hunker into the weekend for the @prodigaltech AI hackathon with @wncc_iitb at @iitbombay 🤓

@akothari Find me a garage that we can turn into an office (again) and I'm in!

What do we need people with opioid use disorder to be screened for conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and not folks with other conditions? We are we so attached to the stigmatization of addiction?

@daisydwolf @a16z @julesyoo @omooretweets @conniechan Maybe an indication that the marketplace model doesn't broadly apply to healthcare

@KyleTibbitts @wander How many employees do you have? Hard to imagine this scales

@halletecco A fine that's <1% of annual revenue isn't a deterrent

Telemedicine Jeopardy:

A: @DEAHQ says drug overdose is #1 cause of death for Americans age 18-45.

Q: Then why throttle access to lifesaving buprenorphine by requiring an arbitrary in-person exam?

@AlyssaJoyJaffee Yet just a slap on the wrist for a company with $1B+ annual revenue

We haven't even begun to comprehend the uphill battle people with OUD are going to face if this proposed DEA rule becomes final. This is a 180 from the OUD care patients have gotten over the last 3 years. You are better than this @POTUS @JoeBiden @HHSGov

Moment of truth

I told the doctor about @BicycleHealth And about the DEA ruling.

Asked her if I was a person who had started OUD treatment and wanted a referral for continuing telemedicine care, what would she do?

She basically said I'll do what my hospital tells me to do 🤦🏼‍♂️

Fantastic analysis by @Lacktman. We need to share our concerns with the administration if we have a chance of maintaining robust tele-oud access post PHE.

I have lost count of how many startups I've heard of that are working on fixing back pain. Here's the "startup" to rule them all.

The reality of back pain is that no one solution works for everyone at every point in time. People need effective resources and a support system.

Please don't add sugar to a well extracted well made coffee. Get Starbucks instead and sugar away.
