@cvspharmacy printing a poster using CVS photo services- there was a smudge so needs to be reprinted. I asked for the bad copy as I could make use of it but your staff prefers to throw it out rather than give me defective copy to put to use citing policy. This is not sustainable

In over 3 years (1/2020- present), the #CDC reported 1748 child deaths due to COVID, a threat for which we shut down schools to keep our children and communities safe. In 2021 alone, there were 2571 children lost to gun deaths. Time to focus on the real problem. #EndGunViolence

@HalstedMD This is absolutely false. DOs study medicine, complete residency and take board exams. NPs will not achieve independence in practice until the education and training levels up. At which point it will no longer be practice of nursing it will be practice of medicine.

[Dr. K @MillajoK]

Consistent with what we’ve observed in our patients, but any thoughts as to what’s driving this…? #medtwitter https://t.co/2EWG3xJkz1

This letter details a disturbing reality we face not just in adult EDs, but also in our pediatric EDs. My biggest fear during the pandemic was having to deliver resource limited care … but here we are.

This morning, we sounded the alarm on the patient boarding crisis that has brought ERs across our country to a breaking point. In our joint letter to @POTUS, we shared real-life stories showing the threat to our health care safety net. [1/4]

@jennygwilson I hope the coach got some feedback…

Young healthy patient with rhabdo after an intro gym session with a personal trainer. CPK > 100K x over 72 hours. Should we be doing a public service announcement to the fitness industry? I’ve seen this a few times lately… #fitness #PSA

@jennygwilson This is nuts. Did he go back?

Patient today: “Saw an attractive young man using fentanyl on the street. I told him ‘If I were you, I’d be working 2 jobs to date all these beautiful women. When you get old like me, that won’t be an option, but the fentanyl- heck they’ll give that to you for free!” #lifelessons

@SeattleiteLeo Your reaction implies that suggesting we need better data = not supporting vaccines. This is false. You are a researcher, I would imagine you understand that better than most.

[Dr. K @MillajoK]

Perhaps time we look at data to make decisions about risk benefit of interventions for various age groups. 30x increased odds of myocarditis with Moderna and 8x with Pfizer in younger age groups. https://t.co/DlsgefqdTa

[Dr. K @MillajoK]

@SeattleiteLeo This article is simply presenting the data on vaccines- there is no discussion or comparison to infection a/w COVID infection. My post is stating exactly that- we need examine the risk benefit ie: comparing risk profiles in various age groups to make decisions/recommendations.

[Dr. K @MillajoK]

@DrBonillaOnc @VPrasadMDMPH Why is advocating for the scientific method promoting vaccine hesitancy? When did this conversation become so black and white?

[Dr. K @MillajoK]

Thanks @heykahn for the tips!

@inglisjosh This is great. Can you share the reference for the table?

[Dr. K @MillajoK]

I chose not to go into pediatrics because I couldn’t handle children suffering - even in the context of trying to help them. How can anyone sleep at night knowing their actions cause innocent children to not only lose their lives but suffer a traumatic death? #EndGunViolence

[Dr. K @MillajoK]

Pro Life but anti gun control? What about the 15 lives (including 14 children) that lost their lives today in Texas? Data shows there are more guns in the US than people-no surprise that mass shootings haunt us. My heart goes out to the families of those lost. #gunreformnow
