Friday will be my last day seeing patients although my official retirement date is 12/31. 31 years and more than 100.000 patient visits have taught me a lot, but the most valuable lesson has been learned through self-reflection as retirement beckons. https://t.co/iNhJlnbGRG

Flu illness can be mild to severe—and can even cause death. People with flu often have some or all of these symptoms suddenly ⤵️ If you're sick, stay home for 24 hours after fever is gone unless you need medical care.

In this @wusa9 television interview I discuss how the #COVID19 is outpacing our testing and that increased testing is not behind the reporting of more cases
wusa9.com
For months, this claim keeps popping up: COVID-19 cases are going up only because testing is going up. This is misleading.

In this @WPXIRyanHouston TV interview I discuss how employer mandates for #COVID19 vaccines, unlike flu, are unlikely during the 1st rounds of vaccination w/ only emergency approval (though employers should encourage & incentivize them)
wpxi.com
These vaccines likely won’t be available to the general public for a few more months, but when the shot is available, can your employer require that you get it?
