I have known 7 MDs who committed suicide (6M, 1F)

300-400 doctors kill themselves/year in USA.

Suicide attempts 250% higher among ♀ docs & 70% higher among ♂
We are used to helping, not needing help
In USA, call/text 988 for help 24/7

So. Many. Gallbladders.

Elderly patient. Not a surgical candidate. Axios placed into GB via EUS in 5 minutes to provide definitive gallbladder drainage and decompression.

The world has changed.

Many people think colonic stents are only for use on the left colon. This is TOTALLY FALSE!

Here is a great video of a 22x90 mm colonic stent being deployed across the IC valve in a pt with obstructing cecal cancer. #gitwitter #surgery #medx #medtwitter

Management of Peri-appendiceal lesions:
https://t.co/xtTWSYpkJz

🍯Lesion visibility may restrict optimal resection
🍯Classify based on % of AO involvement (Fig 1)
🍯EFTR may be a good option, but appendicitis risk is real threat

Personally, the algorithm is very useful!

Spybite to assist difficult biliary cannulation:
SOCCER Trial

https://t.co/h6yCfrtgN6

🥇100% cannulation success, less attempts
🪙No difference in Post-ERCP pancreatitis
🪙Effective across all papilla morphology
🪙Papilla stabilizes papilla, improves visualization

One of my former research assistants was killed by ICE in Minneapolis today😢

Alex was the kindest, sweetest human and a ICU nurse with a bright future ahead of him
May his soul rest in peace and this senseless carnage stop💔

Eleven clinical trials that will shape medicine in 2026

[M Mohan @mukund]

A guy just used @AnthropicAI Claude to turn a $195,000 hospital bill into $33,000.

Not with a lawyer. Not with a hospital admin insider.
With a $20/month Claude Plus subscription.

He uploaded the itemized bill. Claude spotted duplicate procedure codes, illegal “double billing,” and charges that Medicare rules explicitly forbid. Then it helped him write a letter citing every violation.

The hospital dropped their demand by 83%.

This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a preview of what AI will really do next: flatten systems built on opacity.

Hospitals, insurance companies, legal firms—all rely on asymmetry. They win because you don’t have access to the same data, code books, or language.

Claude gave one person the same leverage as a compliance department. That’s a revolution.

We thought AI would replace jobs. Turns out, it’s replacing excuses.

I was in academics for 20 years, and was a full Professor of Medicine with Tenure.

5 years ago I left for a large private GI group.

People often ask me about pros and cons of both worlds.

Here are my top tips to consider.

I had my screening colonoscopy early since it is 100% covered at any age. A tiny polyp was removed w biopsy forceps. I got a bill of $340. I called my insurance to explain and the claim was adjusted. Then I get a bill of $68. I called my insurance again and…..
