“They’ll say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.” Howard Zinn 1971

Higher first 30-day buprenorphine doses were associated with reduced opioid-involved overdose death and death from other causes, supporting benefit of higher dosing in reducing mortality; journals.lww.com/journaladdicti…

How thoughtful of the fucking government to exempt us, medical residents, from being paid overtime.

Everyone we work with is protected.

Wonder what lobbying group did this 🧐

A baby girl was delivered posthumously after her pregnant Palestinian mother Sabreen Al-Sakani, her father and her older sister were all killed by an Israeli attack in Gaza’s Rafah

6yr old Hind Rajab's emergency call from Gaza drew global calls for investigation of her death. IDF deny they were there. The Washington Post finds:
- IDF vehicles present.
- Gunfire as girls begged for help + damage to ambulance = consistent w/ IDF weapons.

If you want to change behavior, show the data. So proud of Anahita Rabiee adding to evidence behind safety of naltrexone in cirrhosis.

Among 2940 patients with cirrhosis started on naltrexone for AUD, zero cases of DILI was identified!

Most patients diagnosed with glioblastoma die within a year, so innovative therapeutic strategies are needed. An editorial describes the science behind one strategy using a secreting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell. Read the full editorial: nej.md/49yGoKf

I’m not an anesthesiologist or pain specialist but I promise you that PO oxycodone 5mg in someone who regularly uses any amount of street fentanyl is less therapeutic than a tic tac. At least tic tacs taste good.

I’ll take this one step further. People who use street-based opioids (mostly fentanyl) need and deserve MUCH more aggressive pain control due to 1. Tolerance 2. Hyperalgesia 3. Trauma and fear

If they are opioid tolerant and opioid pain control seems reasonable, PLEASE DO SO

A pediatrician describes the devastated health system in Gaza:

A federal judge has ruled that medical care at Louisiana’s notorious Angola prison has caused “unspeakable” harm.

Laws passed at the behest of Gov. Jeff Landry likely mean more sick and elderly inmates will be dependent on its care.
