Submitted appeal for a biologic for a sick patient days ago. Call from @UHC at 3:06 pm- P2P required by end of day or appeal will be cancelled. Called medical director x2 -no answer. We are being set up to fail. 3 pm the day before a holiday and a 2 hr window? Do better @UHC
Vaccines, a ❤️ story. Nanny (vaxxed) tests pos Fri when she wakes up and can’t taste. She is part of our family 5 days/week. Thurs pm she was in bed watching a movie with kids (1 dose each, 2 weeks ago), sharing snacks. All 4 Albenbergs had neg PCRs today (day 5). 👏for science!
As a healthcare professional, I know the value of effective, life-saving antibiotics. I signed onto this letter to @McDonald’s asking the company to reduce #antibiotic use in its global beef supply chain to keep these medicines effective. https://t.co/BSLp5jNjXv
3) I am encouraging my #IBD patients to take the vaccine when offered! Protect yourselves, your loved ones, your neighbors from this awful disease. Thank you science. Thank you @ChildrensPhila
1) An update re: how I am doing after The 2nd COVID-19 vaccine which I received Tuesday night. I was achy and had a low grade fever yesterday. I prepared for the possibility of feeling under the weather and did telemedicine from home. Today, I feel 💯 back to normal.
2) I am a physician but also an immunocompromised #IBD patient. My symptoms yesterday suggest my immune system was hard at work making antibodies. Today I feel 💪 and hopeful.
Dose 2! Tears of joy behind the goggles. I was vaccinated to protect myself (as an immunocompromised #IBD patient), my family, my patients, my community. And one step closer to my kids getting to see their grandparents ✅
@CrohnsColitisFn A10: I am also excited about studies combining dietary therapies with pharmacological therapies and studies examining diet for prevention of flares. #IBDchat
@CrohnsColitisFn A10: Understanding the mechanism of action of dietary therapies. We need to understand how these treatments work so we can better target dietary interventions! Also predicting which patients will respond to dietary therapies will allow us to better personalize therapy. #IBDchat
