Thanks to @NYCMayor for championing a single policy change that has the potential to improve so many New Yorkers' lives — an expansion of the Essential Plan could do just that by making those who are uninsured eligible for health care coverage.

Masks for airborne disease are like boil water advisories for waterborne disease. Measures that you use to keep people safe while you build infrastructure and change regulations…let’s get going.

Don't give your kids an allowance.

Pay them interest instead.

I made a system that naturally instills the power of compounding and makes them understand money.

Here's how it works, my downloadable worksheet, and the results:

@RodGerardo ⁃avoid “I have a consult for you,” instead specify if curbside Q or they want you to see pt. at some point
⁃For ID, be ready with basic exposure/epi history
⁃don’t jump from history to labs, tell us your exam and prelim assessment first

NOW is the time for heightened awareness to be on the lookout for cases of acute flaccid myelitis in patients presenting with weakness: reports of widespread enterovirus D68 circulation across the US + Europe, and polio recently detected in NY and UK.

Now that Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM) cases are re-emerging in the US, Europe, and other places it is time to review updated concepts for diagnosis and management. Take a look at the Lancet review and the supplemental material!!

[Kevin Messacar MD PhD @kmess44]

JPeds: Timely, important description of challenges in recognition of acute flaccid myelitis. Only ~1/4 cases promptly diagnosed, ~3/4 with non-AFM initial dx leading to delayed AFM dx/tx @AFMWG https://t.co/OO68CxqWPw

465 Americans lost their lives today from COVID19. Depending on the org crunching numbers, Covid = 2nd 3rd or 4th leading cause of death on a daily basis in USA. It ain’t over. And some of us expect (me for example) yet another major variant this winter. Get your bivalent booster

Be alert, EV-D68 is out there right now!

When I get calls with questions about AFM, I'm going to just refer to this great thread.

My fellows doctors and healthcare providers, if you support firearm safety and agree with common sense gun violence prevention strategies to make our communities safer please retweet this with #DoctorsForGunSafety - this isn’t about the second amendment, just public health
