The patient needs the #Qbrexza to prevent sweating that makes her #prosthetic leg liner fall off. The patient literally needs this to walk. @EliLillyandCo what are my options? The next step is the administrative law judge hearing. #MedTwitter

[Nethra Ankam, MD @nethrankamd]

My patient’s #Qbrexza was denied because @EliLillyandCo does not participate in the Medicare coverage gap discount program. Where do I go from here? #MedTwitter #Disability

this youtuber with 9m subs saw his wife struggle to find a quality wheelchair — $5k price tags, long waits, made in china

so he built his own factory in the USA

now, he sells these $1,000 custom wheelchairs, shipped in weeks

we need more creator-led businesses like this.

@GGinCHS @NiemanLab @washingtonpost @BostonGlobe Inquirer is also set up for independence in the long run—they are owned by a nonprofit foundation rather than a single owner

Shocking new directive: Today, the Taliban's Minister of Vice and Virtue announced a ban on adult women's voices in each other's presence. In August, the Taliban banned women's voices in public, deeming it provocative. Women protested to this ban by singing and poetry.

I’ve never been more proud than I am today to work for a newspaper that was bought not just by a billionaire, but a true philanthropist, who so valued journalism - the only profession expressly protected by the U.S. Constitution - that he created a nonprofit to entrust us to. 🧵

@ewarren I hope this legislation will also address the PE take over of skilled nursing facilities

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

Millions of Americans with disabilities rely on our transportation systems to get where they need to go but too often are limited by systems that are inaccessible or unreliable. We're working to fix that.

IMPORTANT - North Carolina removed 747,000 voters from the voter rolls, either because they had new addresses or because they had not voted in last 2 elections

If you live in NC, CHECK YOUR STATUS right now

There is still time to re-register so you can vote in this election

Did you have a terrific birding trip to Iceland in May, but then lose your SD card with your 3,700 bird photos in Norfolk? I have it!

DO NOT EVER LEAVE YOUR POLLING PLACE WITHOUT VOTING. IF SOMEONE SAYS YOU CAN'T VOTE FOR ANY REASON, DEMAND A PROVISIONAL BALLOT.

Afghan women also aren’t allowed to read books in public, radio programs for education are being shut down so girls cannot even learn in their own homes.

This is beyond misogyny. This is gender apartheid. The systematic erasure of the woman and girl.

[Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD @MVGutierrezMD]

Disgusting, upsetting, and unethical.
It makes so much extra work for the doctors and hurts patient care

[Luna M @tiredfeminist_]

Women aren’t allowed to be attended to by male doctors in Afghanistan, and women aren’t allowed to go to school either or work outside the home… So women no longer have access to healthcare providers. Women are not allowed to speak or read in public because their voices are c c considered intimate, they are not allowed to look at men they are not related to by blood, they can’t go out in public without a male escort, they are literal prisoners but yes, feminism is the problem. Misogyny and the patriarchy have no logic, no care, no humanity.

If your current ID carries your married name--different from your maiden name on your birth certificate--you could be disqualified from voting under the SAVE act pushed by GOP and Trump.
Could block millions of women from voting

BREAKING: A medical committee just confirmed the first officially-deemed “preventable” abortion-related death since Dobbs.

The post-Roe reality is very, very real—and dangerous.

[Mallory McMorrow @MalloryMcMorrow]

A healthy 28-year-old mom is dead. Not because doctors couldn't help her; because they refused until it was too late. Because they feared HELPING HER would land them in prison.

A young mom is dead.

A 6-year-old boy lost his mom.

"Everybody wanted this," Donald Trump told us.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine:

"These Haitians came in here to work because there were jobs, and they filled a lot of jobs. And if you talk to employers, they've done a very, very good job and they work very, very hard.”
