📊 Roughly 45% of cardiologists report mistreatment, and 23% report discrimination in the workplace. Our field deserves better, how can we create healthier environments in the #CathLab? Read more about the study in this @CardioBusiness article➡️ https://t.co/Cy7hwBCgVu

Some cardiologists feel the specialty is inclusive and nothing needs to change, but not everyone agrees with that sentiment. A new survey detailed the perspective of more than 1,500 cardiologists.

You’ve probably heard the news by now: Minnesota fraudsters stole over $1 billion from Medicaid. And you deserve an explanation. Our staff at CMS told me they’ve never seen anything like this in Medicaid — and everyone from Gov. Tim Walz on down needs to be investigated, because

Keep scrolling, NOTHING IMPORTANT HERE. Just Forbes lining up a so-called “microcap” NextNRG ($NXXT) next to Amazon ( $AMZN) and Kroger ( $KR), explaining how it’s already in their trucking and fueling lanes. According to Forbes, NextNRG (NXXT) already provides fueling services

@timir_paul @CMichaelGibson As a non-IC guy, I have seen recent grads struggling to find jobs. It seems in a lot of places, the IC market is super saturated. That’s a horrible feeling - to go through the rigors of training & then not having job options…or told to check back in 1yr! Seen this with HF too.

All this glorification of Halsted, Osler, et al., who literally used cocaine regularly to work 24/7, has created much of the toxic work culture in medicine. They don't deserve any recognition, they were drug addicts. #cardiotwitter #MedTwitter
Short historical🧵on why we have rules now: What happens when working hours are taken to their absolute extreme? Has this happened before? Yes it has...a brief look at surgical residency in Baltimore in the 1940's. To start: residents were 'on' every day for 50 weeks. (1/ )

Glad less Cardiology fellows are applying for IC fellowship. Number of suboptimal IC training fellowship position have grown in the last decade and there is huge over supply of IC vs Gen Cards. This has lead to most ICs working 90% as general cards and doing 10% IC as side
#MATCH Interesting data in Cardiology: General Cardiology: 292 programs filled (100%), 1,377 positions filled (100%) Interventional Cardiology: 104 programs filled (68%), 236 position filled (76.9%) I am surprised by the amount of programs unfilled in IC. Is it lack of

This is a small window into the rot of the modern biomedical system. This NPR segment gets it completely backwards. We’re told that a breast cancer researcher at Harvard is losing a third of her staff because of funding cuts. What the story doesn’t say: she is 76 years old,
npr.org
Amid NIH funding delays, clawbacks and uncertainty, a scientist at Harvard who studies breast cancer has lost one third of her lab employees and wonders if she can continue her research experiments.

FINDING THAT CONNECTION You’re watching two neurons that I saw under the microscope sensing one another + connecting. There are 86 billion neurons in the brain - how do they know how to connect to other neurons? A thread 👇1/n #WomenInSTEM @ScienceAU @UTAS_ #science @elonmusk

At UCSD I was unable to get bone marrow biopsies done on weekends for my patients due to inadequate staffing (techs/pathology services). However, they always had appropriate staffing for parking enforcement on weekends to give me tickets on call.

Check out our new publication in @MyJSCAI on Sex Based Differences in patients undergoing intravascular brachytherapy for in-stent restenosis (ISR). @HMethodistCV #MedTwitter
📖Women undergoing #intravascular brachytherapy for #ISR had higher rates of target lesion revascularization, #MI & MACE vs men despite similar procedures. Highlights need for sex-specific strategies💡 ➡️ https://t.co/MLE1m4xrTg
