Continuing that yearly reminder for every July 1st. For the new interns- Let’s Gooooooo!.
Your yearly reminder that before you send out your hot take on how July 1st is coming up and that means having brand new interns…. If you don’t like working with new interns every year, you can always get a job at a non-academic hospital….

Idiocracy was a documentary.
More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children. But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t. This decision doesn’t reflect, protect or support families.

The menswear guy ALWAYS comes with receipts with more in the comments 😂😂😂.
Hi Anthony! I agree, we should support US manufacturing jobs. I see you're the CEO of Sticker Mule and your $20 t-shirts are made in Nicaragua. As you know, cheap imports make it hard for US factories. Would you be interested in supporting US manufacturers? I can help for a fee.

As a physician who is residency trained and board certified in their speciality, this makes me infinitely more qualified to be Surgeon General than @CaseyMeansMD regardless of anything else on our respective CVs.
The White House pulled the nomination of Janette Nesheiwat to be the surgeon general in favor of Casey Means, a key figure in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement.

This is absolute lunacy.
Texas Senator Kolkurst introduces SB 2695 to allow NPs to proceed directly to MS3. @texmed.#StopScopeCreep.#NPsLead?

Keep this in mind when you are paying for worthless merit badges as a board certified physician.
Jaw dropping numbers : . CEO of the American Heart Association makes $4million annually. Annual revenue: $ 972 million. Annual Employee compensation: $435 million.

Time to chest tube or cric placement.
You are in a room with 1000 randomly selected people. You will only survive if you can beat every single person at one thing. What would you choose?.

Having worked at Crozer for 4 years, I can definitively say that Private equity is responsible for this. It’s one thing to do this to a restaurant chain like Red Lobster- it takes another kind of monster to do this to a safety net hospital.

My heart breaks for the patients and staff affected by this and it will take a miracle to avoid closing these critical safety net hospitals at a time when we need more hospitals to keep up with the aging population of the US.

Exhibit A on why private equity doesn’t belong in healthcare. Crozer-a safety net hospital in the Philly suburbs-was acquired by PE who ran the playbook to its destruction. Sell off assets, cut staffing, and sell the real estate and make the hospital pay rent on its own property.
Healthcare workers and elected officials are demanding accountability after Prospect Medical Holdings announced they would be closing Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Chester and Taylor Hospital in Ridley Park.

This one is for the pre-ox nerds. Our study that got shut down during COVID is finally in print. Real time end-tidal oxygen readings on NRBM vs. NIV in healthy volunteers. Bottom line- better correlation in NIV vs NRBM. Open access- please discuss!.

This is insane. But I thought no one would stop us from getting vaccines- we all knew that was a BS lie. RFK Jr et al already have blood on their hands from the measles outbreak in American Samoa, this will only add to it. The dumbest people alive are currently in power.
BREAKING—FDA suddenly cancels meeting to update next season’s flu vaccines, with zero explanations. Any delays will jeopardize next year’s vaccine supply chain.

This is especially relevant now given the push for all EM residencies to be 4 years long. Telling trainees not to worry about the year of lost attending income and retirement contributions all while gaining another year of loan interest is tone deaf.
As a senior surgeon, if you are mentoring a physician or surgeon trainee, never tell that don’t worry about money. It’s a bit of a ridiculous statement from their standpoint . They read the news, They see the Trajectory of medicine and they hear all our complaints. All the.

Malicious compliance. Each line spells out something vertically. F-E-L-O-N works on multiple levels.
I’m serious. Every single federal employee who gets this email from @elonmusk should email him back with these five words: “Hey Elon, go fuck yourself.”.
