“Whenever somebody tells you that the incidence of something is going up a lot, ask about the outcome of interest, like mortality, especially as it relates to cancer” = wise words from @AdeAdamson at the end of Q&A after he presented: "The Rise in Early-Onset Cancer in the US

Guidelines are neither scripture or always evidence-based, and slow to updating Think of all the harm by waiting not to adopt good evidence
An ICU rounds convo… Me: Can we reduce duration of ABX to 7 days? Them: Isn’t 10-14 more appropriate for gram (-) bacteremia? Me: Per the BALANCE trial, a 7-day course of ABX was non-inferior to 14 days. Them: Is this in guidelines yet? Me: … What would YOUR response be??

Number of drug approvals is not a surrogate for improved patient outcomes. We don’t just need more drugs, we need drugs that improve outcomes. The pendulum had swung too far to approving any drug. Some restoring of balance is needed.
Nice to know that the @WSJ editorial board has turned itself over to become an arm of pharma. Does FDA Commissioner Marty Makary want to accelerate life-saving drugs as he claims? https://t.co/gUorooZYeS via @WSJopinion

TRUST: I spoke of trust in public health during the pandemic a lot like the current health leadership in the Trump administration. However, there is trust and understanding what happened to stifle dissent & there is something else altogether which is assault on public health

There are major problems with health & the US healthcare system that need attention. But that RFK Jr is Secretary of HHS, overseeing M&M, NIH, CDC and FDA is a profound national embarrassment and threat to the nations health. Truly unbelievable.
Doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical giants profit by keeping Americans sick.
