Algerians doing jigs in Kansas... Brits eating barbecue in Texas... Koreans doing full on kegstands in Mexico... just goes to show that the entire world can be united by the simple concept of getting really drunk and watching a sporting event
JUST IN - Spain’s Prime Minister, on the ceasefire, says Spain 'will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”
Dr. Mitchell Katz (CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals) just said he wants to replace “a great deal of radiologists” with AI right now.
The only thing stopping him? The FDA.
My response: Replace yourself first, Dr. Katz.
Here’s why. 🧵

ACE = “ace”
AIDS = “aids”
GERD = “gerd”
PEEP = “peep”
BUN = “omg did you just pronounce it ‘bun’ that’s crazy where did you go to school why are you here omg hey you’ll never guess what this guy just said…”
The ideal day in medicine without specialists:
9am: perform an EBUS
10am: knee replacement
12pm: admit a patient with acute hyponatremia
1pm: cardiac cath on a STEMI → triple vessel disease → convert to CABG
3pm: read a blood film for schistocytes
5pm: deliver a baby
I am reminded once again that research matters.
My wife’s friend was diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer, resistant to our favorite drug Cis/Carboplatin. Genetic testing revealed, among other things, KRAS G12A mutation. She was started on a KRAS inhibitor but unfortunately developed massive myopathy to the point she could barely walk. At that point, she needed bilateral nephrostomy tubes for renal blockage and was given weeks to live. But her mutation panel had also revealed modestly elevated tumor mutation burden (TMB) and CHEK2 mutation, which is involved in DNA damage response. Based on this (though the evidence was limited), she was started on immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) as a last-ditch effort. Since then, her tumors have melted away, and our friend is now strong enough to clear the snow during LAST NIGHT's blizzard in Northeast. Below is a photo she just sent us.
I share not just because this is a miracle, but a SCIENCE IN ACTION! #SpartansWill #ResearchSavesLives

PHILLY DA Larry Krasner warns ICE agents in wake of the Minneapolis shooting: "If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent is gonna come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here."
"I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted."
"Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents?"
"There are honest, decent moral law enforcement officers out there by the bushel, including in ICE. This is not for you. This is for any one of your colleagues who thinks they are above the law."

I’m coming out as pro mall I love shopping in physical stores and trying things on and feeling the material and walking around with multiple bags from different stores and getting a little snack at the food court
“They were careless people… they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

One cannot love God without extending one’s love to the poor. Love for our neighbor is tangible proof of the authenticity of our love for God. The Lord himself teaches us: “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me” (Mt 25:40). #DilexiTe
