🚨This will be the last post we share here.

We believe there is no point in telling our human stories anymore; everyone has grown accustomed to seeing us killed. It's no longer worth the risk to send our voice out to a world that is content with mere solidarity. Even many of our human stories no longer interest people (even our voice is being ignored).

It's time to stop waiting for a savior and to help ourselves survive.

Please try to keep us in your prayers.

Today’s events at UCLA show that we are under police occupation by orders from our administration. These are not conditions under which faculty can teach or students can learn. These are not conditions that can be normalized or accepted. Here are the minimum demands of faculty:

UCPD has detained a group of approximately 40 students and others in Parking Lot 2, who police say were gathered against curfew. They have arrested faculty, legal observers, and members of the media for unlawful assembly and charges including conspiracy to commit burglary.

I feel extremely lucky to have had Dr. Steve Textor as a mentor. Not only was he an exceptional clinician, educator, and researcher, but he was also a wonderful person. He will be greatly missed…😞

[Fouad Chebib, MD, FASN @fouadchebib]

We are saddened by the loss of Dr. Textor. An exceptional @MayoClinicNeph consultant that embodied the true core values of @MayoClinic. You will be greatly missed

Both ED capacity and volume vary a lot. @CA_HCAI shows that in 2021 UCLA’s Ronald Reagan ED had 791 visits per treatment station, about 62% of the state median of 1,270.

RRED has 41 tx stations. How did it come to have 41? #EmergencyMedicine can someone plz teach me

[laurentextor @laurentextor]

I’m interested in studies or research that points to why/how private hospitals are able to build quite small emergency departments compared to public hospitals that have large emergency departments. #medtwitter #HealthEquity

Traffic to #SFO's international terminal is completely shutdown for a #CeasefireNOW in Gaza. 158 days of genocide, over 30k Palestinians killed, of the US funding these massacres, is unacceptable.

@MaxJordan_N @UCLA_GIMHSR Wow so exciting can’t wait to have you here :)

I love this story and it also exemplifies what we can do in a “mental health crisis” without involving the police.

Care for health workers doesn’t have a limit after which point care for patients diminishes. There is actually enough care to go around for everyone..

lots else to unpack in this piece but there are strong data to support that treating workers well improves patient care.

Received a photo of my father @fnaim65 performing surgery on a Gazan injured man . My family hasn't seen him in 107 days !

Proud of you, Dad. Proud of you, and no language in the world can express my love for you ♥️

@MaxJordan_N The contraction of licit opioid prescribing shapes so so much on the flip side of the criminalization context when it comes to OUD criteria

[laurentextor @laurentextor]

@MaxJordan_N The OUD criteria depend heavily on the criminalization of opioids

After nearly a year of testing medications purchased in pharmacies in Mexico, we tallied up the results and found:

About 62% of the 114 painkillers & ADHD meds we tested were counterfeit.

The most commonly faked was Adderall: ~90% of it was counterfeit. https://t.co/UYHAZKLD2B

We’re deeply disturbed by reports of the Israeli military carrying out field executions of Palestinians as well as horrific images of Palestinians, including children, detained under atrocious conditions in Al-Yarmouk Stadium.

This is day 80 of the Israeli government’s genocide
