Your life is not a series of random events. Your family background, education, and life experiences—even the most painful ones—all equip you to do some work that no one else can do (Eph 2.10).-- Timothy Keller
Good study, congrats @mcseeley and the rest of the Australian team! #CerebralHypoperfusion is the key mechanism of #POTS, #LongCovid, #MECFS and 'likely' other disorders involving #chronicfatigue. It remains to be elucidated how it ties to #neuroinflammation, but I discuss this topic further in my recent paper here: 👇

@elonmusk DOGE alert related to UNOS and cost of harvested organs for transplants that are never transplanted- the result of orgs with monopolies unable to manage the growth of transplants in the US

@BehizyTweets@DebbieRevor Yes for the safety of the women in combat and those fighting alongside them. The same for men who cannot meet the standards should not be there either.
Love this. Bart Starr was a truly special, God-honoring high character man. I had the honor of hearing him speak about servant leadership. He was just so humble. He and his wife gave of their time, talents, & $$ to the youth of NE Wisconsin quietly without public recognition.
I met Cam Jordan when he was 3 years old. I was coaching with the Vikings and his dad Steve was a tight end for us. It was a full circle moment and a real thrill for me to be the one to inform him that he has been selected as this year’s Bart Starr Man of the Year.
This is an extremely vivid and heartbreaking example of what people in California have lost. Please say a prayer for our fellow Americans, many of whom lost everything.
HOLY SHLIT. Mark Zuckerberg says the Biden admin called his employees and “screamed and cursed” at them to take down Covid/vaccine content. They wanted Meta to censor memes too.
When he pushed back, the Biden regime started investigating his companies.
“It was brutal.”
Alberta Health has decided to stop collecting data on patients dying while waiting for surgery and diagnostic. This sort of secrecy is unhealthy, by Colin Craig

@MVHarper@ashishkjha No doubt the hospitalist won’t talk to the specialists & will discharge the patient right after the specialist tells the patient they need an urgent biopsy for which they need to stay hospitalized. So many issues w American medicine, the least of which is where the MD came from.
AND the US medical education is highly siloed, whereas medical education overseas like in Europe takes a wholistic approach. This makes internationally trained physicians better than US trained physicians in picking up rare outlier cases that don’t fit a precise disease pattern.
There seems to be a debate on Twitter about the value of high skilled immigration in the US
So here's a bit of data in case that's useful
If you're hospitalized and your physician graduated from a foreign medical school?
You are LESS likely to die than if your physician graduated from a US medical school
Foreign medical graduates are, on average, better than US medical graduates
Because the US attracts the best and brightest physicians from around the world
And it literally saves Americans' lives

@SrihariNaiduMD@rstraxMD He sounds like an amazing doctor with a big heart. This is how patient-centered care is done, before it had a name other than being a good doctor.
Not stirring controversy. Real question from a real patient: is there any current COVID vax safe for patients with a strong history of pericarditis? I have to find one as I am in need of a lung transplant. Thank you!
Compassion and connecting with patients are two keys to reduce burnout for physicians. Patient centered care is a win-win for everyone.

@RIDICULO_pathy Let me guess, they called the police and put her on a park bench in a coma with a blanket over her so she looked like a homeless person.
Black Friday is crazy busy for most of us. But if you have inappropriate sinus tachycardia, it's just another day of hardship-wondering when the symptoms will call it an early day. I see you, and I feel your pain...

Assisted suicide advocates: "It works well in other countries!"
Reality: In the Netherlands, around 40% of euthanasia deaths are performed without the patient's consent.
Below is the crazy way one prominent euthanasia advocate justifies this
