I’m entering hospice today. Will probably update every little if at all. But I wanted to say to be kind, be brave, be principled, be an idealist. Most importantly, be a decent human. I love that we existed together, in this moment of time.

1/Nothing strikes fear into the heart of a radiologist like the question,“Is it safe to do an MRI on this patient w/an implanted device?” Do questions about pacemakers & MRIs suddenly send your heart racing? Never fear again! Here’s a thread navigating implanted devices & MRI!

Big steps forward for transcatheter management of IE... lots of patients who may benefit from minimally invasive removal of vegetation... guidelines from ESC and breakthrough approval from FDA

North Dakota GOP have decided to force women to give birth. Even victims of rape. Meanwhile, they voted against providing school meals because child hunger isn't "the responsibility of the state." Mandating birth is state responsibility. Helping feed those kids is not. Got it.
