Why even be over there still?

Yes, I miss my legacy verification and thousands of followers over in the upside down but wouldn’t touch that place with a 10ft pole.

It’s a mess.

Twitter refugees unite!

Let’s go!! 💪🏾

Congrats @drtinashahnj.bsky.social!

I can say I knew her when.

📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case

Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL”

As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm

Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

Congratulations Dr. Charlton!! 💪🏾👏🏽

One of my favorite figures to design with JAMA Internal Medicine!

Great piece! Do y’all happen to have data on the freq of Medicaid enrollees who vote? I imagine it’s probably high for Medicare enrollees, but the former I’m not so sure, and I imagine it’s exceedingly low, hence why they can be so cruel.

When I testified to the US Senate a few years ago, I said a lot of this, too.

AL will never expand Medicaid. Rural hospitals closing everywhere. Medicaid cuts hurt rural Rs the most.

I think lawmakers count on that subgroup not voting, not being able to vote, or voting against their self interest.

Thank you @drannieandrews.com! Go get ‘em! -Long time supporter from Alabama.

She’s is so great! @drannieandrews.com

Earlier today, AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh testified as a bipartisan witness before the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, warning that without immediate action, the U.S. runs the risk of losing its position as a global leader in biomedical research and innovation.

Josh is the best. He helped me navigate several issues early in my career when I couldn’t find any guidance. Stellar person. I partially owe my current path to him. 🙏🏽

A Person-Centered Approach to Supplemental Oxygen Therapy in the Outpatient Setting This Review proposes a person-centered framework to improve independence and quality of life for people using supplemental oxygen and summarizes supplemental oxygen evidence and landscape in the outpatient setting.

​Check out "A Person-Centered Approach to Supplemental Oxygen Therapy in the Outpatient Setting" by my mentee, Angela Suen. This article explores strategies to enhance care for patients using supplemental oxygen, emphasizing personalized education and equipment selection to improve patient outcomes.

Privileged to work alongside a global team of #pallipulm experts on the next great @thelancet.bsky.social Commission on palliative care in serious respiratory illness.

Can’t wait to see what this amazing team accomplishes & the worldwide impact!

True. It was remarkable. There are several things to learn. I agree, my favorite part was watching JeffCo votes come in at the very end and that NYT ticket swing in Jones’s favor. I was cheering! The shift since then is disturbing. Level of opponent insanity won’t be enough anymore here.

And Jones still barely won by 21k votes. 🤯

That’s what I walked away with and was scared by that election. The vast majority of the ALGOP base could vote for Moore despite everything. It took that level of insanity just to pull a small number of votes away.

Doing anything science related during these times feels like we’re that dog saying, “It’s fine,” as the room around him is on fire. Come to find out his whole house is actually a dumpster fire, and that dumpster is floating away down a raging flood.

I built a clinic for people with serious 🫁 disease who little to no insurance.

This week, I spent tons of time after clinic to get a Medicaid prior auth approved for 1 inhaler that has kept my patient with COPD stable.

I’ll go through the gauntlet for my patients, but why do I have to?!

These are great ideas. I question broad applicability. I don’t routinely cuff leak or NIF. Maybe in select cases, eg. Airway obstruction or Myasthenia, respectively. But even then, cuff leak may not be helpful. I’ll find that data.

I have refined this MASCOTS tool over the years to help trainees identify frequently missed elements during extubation.

Welcome ongoing feedback!
