Exciting 23 year update from the ERSPC #prostatecancer screening trial from @MoniqueRoobol and team, and a great editorial @VickersBiostats. NND is down to 12 and still falling! And the benefit:harm ratio would be even better w/ modern screening/dx/tx pathways.

Meanwhile physician reimbursement by Medicare has remained basically the same actual dollar value for last 30yrs. If account for inflation it should have doubled. Doctors are being driven out of private practice. https://t.co/GzeI9djQFm
Friendly Reminder: If your income has not risen by at least 26% since Covid hit, you are now poorer. And that is using the government’s own data. The real number is likely 40% plus.

Mass shootings are not a political issue. Men, Women and Children dying from mass shootings are not a political issue. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. America is a GREAT COUNTRY. Put the politics aside, work TOGETHER and pass laws to ensure we are no longer known as the land

Nine children. Nine children who went to a parade to celebrate their Super Bowl team. Nine children now being treated for gunshot wounds @ChildrensMercy When are we going to collectively realize there’s a gun problem in our country and do something sensible for our kids?
