"Knees or trees, either way you're still lynchin' me..." Powerful all the way through. Thank you @AfricanaCarr. Thank you @NickCannon. I'm listening, humbly.

nytimes.com/2025/07/12/bus… I’m sharing this article in hopes that it’s instructive. We shouldn’t be in this position. In the words of a United Healthcare representative quoted here…”the truth matters”. I couldn’t agree more.

Hey @SyneosHealth AnswerSuite - it seems like it might be a violation of #HIPAA if I were to report patient interactions at this frequency. HIPAA law says clinical encounter dates more specific than year are Protected Health Information, AFAIK. Am I mistaken? #PrivacyMatters

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dr. Samantha Garza. In honor of Sam's life, we invite you to donate in her memory to fund brain tumor research. Thank you to everyone who supported Sam throughout her battle. We love you forever, Sam. gofund.me/94b84c9b

Fiona Havers, a senior expert at CDC until her resignation in protest days ago, oversaw important databases & helped inform vaccine strategy. RFK Jr's unilateral policy moves, without evidence-based process, were too disturbing. #Respect @JHMed_ID CNN share.google/XrjSwr4q8fuBHY…

This claim about the Amish deserves correction with actual data. 🧵

This is by far the most common vaccine I strongly recommend in ID adult clinical practice. As ID doctors, we see some truly severe cases of zoster, with post-zoster sequelae that may last months or even rarely be permanent. @CIDJournal doi.org/10.1093/cid/ci…

Racist covenants persist, e.g. "...this property shall never be rented or sold to or for the use of a someone of negro race." Our past is present, and humbling. Great reporting by Jon Morgan! @BaltimoreBanner thebaltimorebanner.com/community/hous…

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

Risk for #diverticulitis in women? Nuts and seeds: apparently not higher risk. Let's stop the lore (there never was much evidence for that idea). Lower risk with healthier (higher fiber, lower red meat, e.g. DASH) diet. Barlowe T, et al @AnnalsofIM acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN…

Not nearly the same thing but I walked a mile (marks thanks to nursing staff on Urology ward @HopkinsMedicine) evening of my partial nephrectomy 1 year ago, tks to skill of @SHPatelMD1 & team. Foley and JP drain def made that harder, but I know how impt exercise is to recovery.

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Melia, recently honored by @OslerResidency Housestaff with the Faculty Teaching Award for outstanding contributions to teaching by a faculty member in @JohnsHopkinsDOM!

Another ridiculous attack on universities: the US Sec of Education, who's only claim to fame is promoting her husband's pro wrestling business, says @Columbia doesn’t meet accreditation standards. And btw the Educ Dept doesn't accredit universities. wapo.st/3Sxw530

Did you know? Sarcoidosis is often called “the great imitator” because its symptoms can resemble those of other conditions like asthma, arthritis, or lupus. Awareness is key to early diagnosis and treatment. #SaySarcoidosis #SarcoidosisAwareness #TheGreatImitator

Let’s clear the air about sarcoidosis. Know the facts, share the truth, and #SaySarcoidosis. #Sarcoidosis #SarcoidosisAwareness
