Continuing the great work against treatable disease TB! Love this work from John Green.
Also #YNWA and #COYD!

Hi. Some news: I’m on Capitol Hill today, where Dr. Atul Gawande just announced that @USAID will commit $10,000,000 this year to radically reduce TB in the Philippines. Together with a million dollars from our family and matching funds from the government of the Philippines, over $22,000,000 will go this year toward comprehensive care to radically reduce tuberculosis.

Over the next four years, we hope a total commitment of over $80,000,000 will allow the Department of Health to train and employ community health workers, nurses, and doctors to find cases of TB, provide curative treatment to the sick, and offer preventative care to their close contacts. We know this comprehensive Screen-Treat-Prevent strategy is the key to ending tuberculosis.

(Part of the reason we’re able to do this for the relatively low price of $80,000,000, incidentally, is because both @jnj’s bedaquiline and @danaher’s GeneXpert tests have recently become cheaper after public pressure campaigns. Activism at work!)

I believe we simply can’t end TB without these kinds of public/private partnerships. After all, that’s how we ended smallpox, radically reduced the burden of polio, and have driven down death from malaria and HIV. Public money is an essential part of fighting disease, so if you’ve ever paid a federal tax, you’re part of this story.

For too long, impoverished governments and communities have been denied the resources to offer this kind of comprehensive care, but we hope this initiative can be a blueprint and a beacon to show the world that we simply don’t have to accept a world where over a million people die every year of a curable disease. Together with USAID and an extraordinarily committed team in the Philippines, we want to show the world the path to end TB.

Great article on the many effects of #alcohol / #booze and #drinking, accurate to what I would generally discuss with patients:

If you haven’t seen this, give it a read/listen.

Who wants to start a national Hospitalist union with me??

@WCInvestor Is there something inherently wrong with paying taxes? Rather than purely avoid them, what about deriving benefits from them? If we are to be a cooperative society, shouldn’t we pay appropriate taxes, voice it if we want a specific purpose, and not try to avoid paying at all?

Except for the whole job structure prevents doing many of these things, thing, this is great advice. But, yeah, gotta change the system. #physicianburnout #burnout #clinicianburnout

[White Coat Investor @WCInvestor]

The number one threat to your financial plan is physician burnout.

Without career longevity, those financial plans fall apart.

What steps are you taking to optimize for career longevity?

12 suggestions:

1. Take less call
2. Work fewer hours per day
3. Work fewer days per week
4. Work less onerous shifts
5. See fewer patients per hour
6. Use your vacation time
7. Take advantage of sabbatical opportunities
8. Take time off between jobs
9. Spend a little less
10. Use your income to purchase assets, not consumption items
11. See a doctor, therapist, or coach or attend a wellness conference
12. Prioritize eating well, exercising, and sleeping appropriately

@b_mastrofini @Bolt_451 @ewarren @MollyJongFast I know I was never going to convince you on twitter. But I hope you can learn to be open minded.

@TheBearingDr @Bolt_451 @ewarren @MollyJongFast DC is actually a different place from Maryland. Have you ever visited either?

[Matt Haney @matthaneymd]

@Bolt_451 @ewarren @MollyJongFast DC residents also vote in presidential elections already, with a small and inconsequential number of college votes. There is no great reason the hundreds of thousands of Americans who live in DC should not be able to have a say in laws that affect them, with basic representation.

@Bolt_451 @ewarren @MollyJongFast The city has Home Rule, with its own mayor and government, since the early 70s, because it was clear it needed its own government. Local issues are not worth congress’s time, and congress is often ignorant of local city issues, particularly if they are members who commute.
