Guiding principles for me & (I hope) other MDs: -All patients we touch get high quality care. -Care decisions arise from an informed, empathetic doctor/patient relationship. -In gray/undecided areas, the best path is usually the less intrusive/invasive/expensive path.

If you care about drug development and finding cures for patients, please retweet this. @Sensible__Med, this is on you! I hope everyone remembers @adamcifu @drjohnm @DrJMarine's cheerleading in this destruction. So much institutional knowledge is lost. Sigh....
An updated FDA org chart from @biospace: nearly 90% of senior leaders who were at the FDA a year ago are no longer there. Most FDA employees are usually "career staff" who worked for multiple FDA commissioners & years of training to be knowledgeable incl cell & gene therapies.

Risk assessment in lead extraction -- complications are low frequency, but high impact. Pothineni and @rdschaller invoke @nntaleb fat tails principle, in which rare events are responsible for most of the harm. Outstanding, thought provoking read 👇 https://t.co/hSMGZMWXOv

Permanent pacer more common with self expanding TAVR as compared to balloon expanding👇 (also note challenges of later AV block presentation with self expanding valves) #EPeeps
🥸8️⃣ Permanent pacemaker implantation was significantly lower with balloon-expandable valves: 11.9 percent versus 18.6 percent at 30 days; adjusted hazard ratio was 0.56 [95% confidence interval, 0.35 to 0.90].

I wonder why we heard none of this from Vinay Prasad. Kennedy’s case against mRNA vaccines collapses under his own evidence https://t.co/36iPEd8Nhi via @statnews

As Vinay Prasad returns to FDA, I wrote him an open letter about how he can admit humans make mistakes, actually welcome dissent, and serve public health. And also, make it so I don't need to write another Vinay Prasad piece for a while! Dear Vinay: Please embrace dissent, and

Vinay Prasad is back at the FDA, and in a position in which grappling with nuance — not always his strong suit — will be the key to his success.
