Submitted my first rank order list to the #NRMP #match as PD. That is so not fun, we interviewed 65 people. At least 40 of them would be great, picking is hard.

Good luck to all the med students and recent grads put there entering the match.

Taking my ABFM longitudinal certification. They seem to like testing for things which have only level D recommendations. Why would you ever test on that? By definition there is no good data and expert recommendations only why test on that garbage? #medsky

We review all of our readmissions as part of our peer review process. The reviews are always interesting #medsky

Big News: This week, Medicare Part D patients will see their annual out-of-pocket drug costs capped at $2,000. We worked to pass this landmark reform that will help millions of seniors afford their prescription drugs.

This man belongs in a gulag. Far from civilized humans

In fairness it’s probably about as effective as Tamiflu

I can't say with any certainty that this will hold up over time, but it sure does reinforce my biases. So of course I should re-post it.

I was told to do this on a patient when I was a medical student at MSUCOM in 2011. Every student and resident present refused. I was proud of my classmates. @michiganstateu.bsky.social

Pretty sure one those would mess me up all by themselves. No herd required

Stop swinging sir! The Red Cross told me I had to do this!

The Red Cross seriously needs to get out of the ACLS game or we need a competing organization. Some of these questions are embarrassingly bad. They said someone was complaining of shortness of breath and they immediately want me to slap a BVM on them?

Great list! Thanks.

I found #nephsky,#medsky And #cardiosky.... But where are my hospital medicine brothers and sisters at? We had such a great community on the old bird site. @societyhospmed.bsky.social

Wrote this at the other place after a mass shooting in the United States. Can't remember which one. There have been so many since.

“Stop asking why schools don’t have bullet proof glass and metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools have to. That’s the question that needs to be asked.”

When are they going to stop talking about targeted temp management? The data on that has been garbage for a long time.

I could write an entire textbook on how much I hate the acls online re-cert modules.

The Monster at the End of this Explanation of Benefits

Another mon-health policy expert here. Can anyone make a reasonable argument about why denying benefits wouldn't improve their profits? It seems fairly self-evident that spending less = more profit.... but I imagine the topic is complicated

Telehealth was something disabled people had spent years begging for. It’s a game changer when you have an energy limiting chronic illness.

It’s hard to imagine any legitimate reason to remove it - it will cause harm.

Let patients access care in the way that is safest for them.

Little discussed fact: Choosing to not “treat” high blood pressure makes you look like a wacko to the nurses and CRNAs/anesthesiologists in the real world where I practice

It requires lots of time, explanation, being present, and even documentation of your rationale
