Sharing for a #NZ audience for the headline conclusion,

“After hospitals were acquired by private equity firms, patient death rates in the emergency departments rose by 13% compared with similar hospitals, according to research published this week in Annals of Internal Medicine.”

This is one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. Such a brilliantly creative mind!

77.5 MILLION acres in AK

This is one where we *might* be able to yell enough to force a change of course. Talk about your favorite moose hunting spot or salmon trips. Ask our congressfolk if they really want to be the "anti-hunting, anti-fishing, and anti-feeding Alaskan families" reps.

I remember back in the early ‘90s when my sister was learning how to build websites, I predicted the internet was a fad that wouldn’t catch on.

I wish I was right.

They’d dismissed urinary symptoms as “typical aging.” Patients really need to be seen as individuals, not statistics.

But there always are the exceptions, right? The healthy 70+ year old who may live another 20+ years diagnosed with an aggressive cancer. I had older patients who were diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer following work up for lower back pain.

I think it’s more nuanced than what the guidelines state. They changed because it was felt there were a lot of unnecessary biopsies performed and many would die from other comorbidities before dying from a slow growing cancer.

You do realize you’re getting screened due to your prior history of prostate cancer. The guidelines are easily found online and recommend screening stops at age 69.

I read The Fountainhead in my early 20s and thought it was great. Then, years later, started Atlas Shrugged and taught it was just like The Fountainhead, but with trains. I never finished it and can’t believe I ever liked TF.

I experienced this teaching at a university last fall. One student denied using AI even though when I entered my question (which asked for a personal reflection), AI wrote what the student did, verbatim.

I need to figure out how to AI-proof questions.

HIS POCKET OBVS 🤣

If I remember TNM staging, tumors in both lungs is stage IVA, with or without lymph node involvement. Unless it’s changed.

Where on social media was this posted? I can’t find the original post.

Too late this time hit next year try to avoid caffeine for several days beforehand. Some find that helpful with the pain/discomfort. Yoga breathing helps, too.

Ultrasound is NOT a replacement for mammogram. Usually done in conjunction if there is breast density. And the radiation from a mammogram is minimal.

Yeah, as I went back through your posts, I realized that. I’ve gotten used to Threads connecting posts. BlueSky makes me do a lot more work!

I wasn’t able to edit and saw your family knew the Bushes. Such interesting insight they must’ve had, his public vs. personal image. And I’m sure some great stories!

When my dad died, we got a letter from President Obama, printed, not handwritten. I think it’s because my dad was buried in a national cemetery. I need to find it and frame it.

Nice, but NEEDS MORE CAPS!!!!

Wait, you Photoshopped and didn’t use AI?!?!
