Although I've sworn off Twitter, I'm tweeting now to say that I know Caitlin Bernard and know her to be a highly skilled, ultra-professional OBGYN physician. She's the best our profession have to offer in caring for the citizens of Indiana and beyond.

@Bob_Wachter Thank you for taking the time to reason through this for all of us, Bob. Sage, wise, evidence-based advice. As usual.

@AriBerman I favor just the opposite: make voting compulsory for all those over 18 who don't have an approved reason for not voting. Australia does this. That's how we end up with a truly representative democracy, IMHO. And change Election Day to Sunday, and make it a national holiday.

@nussbaum_kayla @DellMedSchool @IUSMEmergMed Congratulations, Kayla! I practiced in the Eskenazi ED for 25 years and in the hospital (and its predecessor, Wishard) for 35 years. Great program!

Please read this NYT interview with Anthony Fauci. He is truly a hero in our time. (And I do NOT use that term often, or lightly.)

So now to cap off this historic football season. After being ranked in the AP top 10 for a majority of the year and finishing 11th in the CFP Rankings. IU has to go play sub 500 Ole Miss. what an absolute fucking joke

@MauiInv @CampingWorld @TexasMBB @IndianaMBB @espn Bill Walton is TERRIBLE! Constantly talking about ANYTHING but the game. I had to mute tha game. No respect for the game, teams, or fans. Get rid of him!

I agree: only count legal ballots. I voted by mail. Who decides if it's legal: 1 Repub & 1 Dem pole worker. How do they decide? Scan the bar code: does it match my name? Does the sig. match my voter registration sig.? So how do millions of illegal ballots get past this process?

Congratulations to Clay Johnston for being inducted today into the National Academy of Medicine. A truly fitting recognition of his remarkable career as an investigator, leader, and visionary! @ClayDellMed @DellMedSchool

If you get sick, you go to the doctor who's cared for you well for years. Anthony Fauci has cared for this country, now quite sick, exceedingly well for >3 decades. 'Nuff said.

[Kevin B. Johnson, MD, MS @kbjohnsonmd]

Dr. Fauci can be trusted to give accurate information. Period.
