I’ll always remember the first congestive hepatopathy patient I took care of as an intern @vumc.bsky.social. The pathology was so different from anything else, so when I saw an article on this in this month’s #JACCBTS I couldn’t wait to learn more about it. (🧡: 1/10) @jaccjournals.bsky.social

What are people asking about COVID-19 – and what do doctors wish patients knew? Five years into the COVID-19 pandemic, many people still have questions. Here's what doctors said they're hearing – and what they wish to be asked – and how they're answering.

VA Research Funding Slashed Though not as prominent as the NIH, VA researchers play a major role in advancing basic health science. Hundreds of projects have been cut.

NIH cuts are getting the press, but VA research is getting slashed too. What do we lose when VA research goes away? Here's some greatest hits: The nicotine patch, invention of the cardiac pacemaker, first successful liver transplant, development of the CAT/CT scan
