Today I attempted to get a flu test since my covid tests were negative. No urgent care taking walk-ins for URI symptoms. No appointments until Thursday at the earliest. Lines wrapped around the buildings. (1/🧵) #MedTwitter#FOAMed#hcw
@krishnadaasa@Azazello1313@clairlemon@SamHarrisOrg Supportive care =/= waiting for hospitalization need which was standard. “precautionary principle” in MCI because limited time for evidence based medicine to unfold properly… means repurposing drugs and not being censored to share best practices w your colleagues.
@krishnadaasa @ForexwebAU @clairlemon@SamHarrisOrg Virologist will rarely/if ever treat a patient directly. All he’s asking for is early treatment. Expert in virology maybe not, but internist/cardiologist treating patients daily. He says “treat the patient in front of you” ie keep out of the hospital where it’s usually too late.
Elderly lady with decreased sensation and strength in the left lower extremity, SpineJack deployed, endplates recreated, retropulsion corrected, neuro symptoms resolved and the patient walking again without a walker. @SpineJack@uab_ir@ahmed_kamel_ir@Bama_IR@mySingingRiver
Flashback to 2009 NEJM article on vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty. This is another damaging article in NYT. https://t.co/uNEBKC9GNj. On the contrary, Josh Hirsch has shown that mortality after VCF may have increased after those articles. https://t.co/tC8BGFhGPP
