Awesome post, the first I've seen to set the record straight:

The first GLP-1 drug was not from Novo or Lilly, but San Diego's Amylin, who developed gila monster exendin-1 as Byetta

Lilly "partnered" with Amylin while quietly making their own Mounjaro

Amylin no longer exists

I’m also flattered by how much power you guys think I wield over the medical education complex

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

The amount of serious discourse I seem to have kicked off the last couple days is pretty wild. Nobody is banning med student research. Come on people. Clearly compulsory med student research is a big problem though. Should it be illegal, resulting in jail time? No, 3 days on the vascular surgery service should suffice.

Btw, the jail thing was a joke. I hate clarifying jokes, but I’m genuinely concerned about the well being of some of my biggest PhD haters.

@DGlaucomflecken I love the sound an opinion makes when it WOOSHES so close to the point

Program directors who rank applicants based on research pubs need to recognize that they are perpetuating a system that makes students miserable, and also cheapening the value of scientific research.

RT @jasonryanmd: I don't think we have to ban research for medical students, although that would be an improvement. We just need program di…

This is a lie. People go on Rogan and just say things that are not true, and they get away with it.

In TriNetX, adding all sudden/acute vision loss, the incidence for ages 45-54 in 2016 vs. 2023 is down 1.5%; for 55-64, up 0.9%; for ≥65, up 10.7% (-0.1% age-controlled).

If you’re preparing for interviews for medical school, residency or even fellowship be ready for this super important question which may determine your rank position: Which Rocky movie is the best one? Correct answer is III.

Just about any symptom *could* be cardiac ischemia or a PE or an aortic dissection, but most of them aren’t. Missing things causes harm, but testing every person with every symptom for everything also causes harm. Medicine is hard.

@jasonryanmd I have the same feelings, the potential is there but the story lacks firm footing. At this point, I am watching out of love for the casting.

A steelman argument for Universal Healthcare is that it would create an ungodly number of healthcare sector jobs both in the periphery like construction to and in the center as physicians/technicians/nurses/practitioners go into become in greater demand.

@jasonryanmd Idk but I’m losing hope quickly D:

Yes because doctors famously never recommend life style change to patients.

I'm convinced that it’s perfectly ok to live a life that looks confusing to others. Wake up early. Do hard things. Focus deeply. Eat real foods. Go on walks. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Avoid drama. Save money. Never gossip. Love your people. Recipe for a good life.

[Jason Ryan @jasonryanmd]

I was a huge fan of quality metrics when they came out but completely reversed my opinion when I saw that they just became a charting game. People stopped documenting adverse outcomes to avoid penalties.
