Routine use of gabapentin for postoperative pain is not supported by evidence In a large multicenter double-blind RCT of patients undergoing major surgery, gabapentin did NOT improve pain, opioid use, length of stay, or quality of life confirms a prior meta-analysis

Respect to the guys and gals running out along the lachine canal in the cold October rain this AM. I thought I was the only crazy one but it's good to see that's not true.

My road map to improving cancer outcomes and where screening fits in TLDR: right now screening is the least important step vs prevention & treatment Read whole thread above and various branches
@AppleHelix @VickersBiostats 1. Cancer is many diseases, so silly to lump together 2. Zero is unrealistic 3. We need better screening, not just early screening. We need to find signatures of Cancer, not "cancer" 4. Prevention carries most weight. Decline in Smoking is king. Hpv vax great. Glp1 huge IMO

Of all the many pithy quotes Ive encountered on Twitter over the years, the one that I find I refer to the most, literally every time Im on ID or Medicine, and usually more than once per week when on service, is @DrToddLee: "The urine is innocent until proven guilty."

Il ne faut pas chercher à « réparer » le système, estime l’autrice. Il faut laisser le système faire de la prévention, traiter et soigner les Québécois.

My son wanted to set a 10k PR at the end of his season and before he turns 11. My legs are completely burnt from the half marathon last week. But there's no way I was letting him down - pain or no pain. Great job, boy! @Valueinvestor41
