https://t.co/bGVrQMPLzv @WJCLNews A.J. Did such a great job on our Candida auris story, they reported it in the U.K. You have an awesome team! Ammonia based hospital cleaners do NOT kill this. Resistance and Mortality is slowly growing with this.

Not advice just a way to think of this if it helps…. Thoughts? Entresto (ANRI) —> HFrEF = possible improvement in EF. SGLT-2’s —> Kidney Failure with Reduced Nephron Function (KFrNF) = possible improvement in NF.

Human Trafficking continues to be a big problem in the US. If in clinical practice you identify a non US citizen who has been a victim, they may be eligible for a T-Visa that allows them up to 4 years here with benefits. https://t.co/IzLgQXcQBH

We have known this for a long time and this is just more data to support how many American lives these medications can save if they were only available at a price point most Americans can afford.

Tirzepatide is associated with significantly lower rates of opioid overdose and alcohol intoxication in high-risk populations with substance use disorders. This is 1000% consistent with my clinical experience!! https://t.co/fixTVPCJep

#HurricaneHelene damaged the factory responsible for manufacturing over 60% of all IV fluids used in the US, leading to a major national shortage. As clinicians what can we do to about the #IVFluidShortage and how can we prevent this crisis from happening again? A thread đź§µ 1/

OK #Wegovy can we get $299 and $499? It’s less weight loss than the Zepbound. This is not cheep but it is the closest I have seen to fair pricing for a drug this effective at reducing disease burden. Now insurers both private and public need to step up and cover this!

Surprise billing needs to Exclude DMD’s and DDS’s! If lawmakers don’t act this will continue to be common. You MUST take care of your teeth. This is objective and might get some company out of paying some $ for wrongful death.

It is a very sad thing and he would have never been in the ICU if it was not for the accident. But only a few years ago a dentist would come to the hospital if needed. Now they would have to be on your health insurance to do so ( for all practical purposes).
