If they added location data to Crossplay, NYT could have a dating app.

Reduced mortality associated with pulmonary embolism response team consultation for intermediate and high-risk pulmonary embolism: a retrospective cohort study - PubMed We observed a significant reduction in 30-day mortality, hospital LOS, TAC, and in-hospital bleeding complications for patients who received PERT consultation without an observed difference in these metrics when comparing the pre- vs post-implementation eras. This suggests the benefits stem from dir …

Oh- I’m a believer. In our little single-center study, PERT had a suspiciously high mortality benefit. I’m really interested in the question of what makes a good PERT- I suspect there’s a lot of heterogeneity across centers. Hard to get data though. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38641802/

Reporter: Mayor Adams, are you a cat person or a dog person?
Adams: [smiling] We had a beagle, name of Gregory. Horrible seizures. He was found in a sewer-- he was eating a rat. The rat was dead, he didnt kill it. He was never right. The seizures, he would scream. A human scream

I did my part today and let a insurance physician reviewer who denied a sleep study that they were a scourge to medicine and that I hope they don't have a sense of fulfillment in what they chose to do for a living

I’m confused- even with propensity matching, surely patients receiving NE+Vaso were sicker and thus more likely to die?

*Wild* levels of circular firing squad here. Do you want trans children to be recognized, to have rights, to have health care? If yes, you agree with Schumer. We’re not in a position to purity test every ally. Plz stahp.

My Navy told me the Red Sea keeps swallowing its planes so I asked how many planes it has and it said it just goes to Lockheed Martin and gets a new plane afterwards so I said it sounds like it's just feeding planes to the Red Sea and the defense secretary started crying

We're in a really bad spot with supposedly reputable journals regularly publishing dodgy stuff that expert/stats review should easily catch.

So expert review isn't happening consistently, for reasons we all understand in our bones.

It's a dream for malicious actors who can shop "papers" as needed.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock tradingβ€”and I've got a bill for that.

🧡Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Thinking about adding a standard slide to the beginning of all my talks saying something about the NIH funding freeze/asking people to call their representatives. Nothing radical- just a little reminder for people that things aren’t normal. What do folks think?

Not enforcing the existing laws- certainly tracks with my experience working in a safety-net hospital. Definitley true that HCWs are at super-high risk of workplace violence, I just haven’t seen evidence showing that incarceration helps. California just passed bill 977, so we can see what happens!

Workplace Violence against Health Care Workers in the United States | NEJM Violence against health care professionals in the workplace is underreported and understudied. Additional data are needed to understand steps that might be taken to reduce the risk.

Agree with the first bit, 100%. The second bit- idk. Many of the patients swinging at HCWs aren’t legal scholars. Might imprison a bunch of mentally ill poor people by accident. I wonder if mandating better staffing ratios might help as much as criminalizing patients. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

@seanfennessey.bsky.social in the British Movies podcast, I feel the omission of Jason Statham’s performance in Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels was an oversight. Could also be a fun rewatchable.

So- will medical societies knuckle under along with the tech companies? Will we go along to get along? Is there a line? Shuttering the NIH, CDC… violations of the oath? We gotta get some kind of joint statement going or something.
