Check out important work by @UCSFPCCMFellows Dr. Baugh. Race-adjustment of pulm fxn hides true decrements and does not correlate with symptoms. Universally-applied equations do better. Thread on main takeaways from 1st author @ucsfcvp UCSF School of Medicine atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Ended the week by walking one of our COVID ARDS survivors back into the ICU to meet with some of the terrific RNs, RTs and PTs who had cared for him. No mask—N95 or otherwise—could hide the smiles on everyone’s faces as we celebrated his recovery. UC San Francisco @LekshmiMD Kathleen Liu

Striking findings. Firearms in the house do not increase safety but more than double the risk of homicide. The overwhelming majority are women. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

I'm CA's Acting Surgeon General. Today, I'd like to publicly share my journey with bipolar disorder. Stigma festers in the dark and scatters in the light. By speaking out, I hope to help dispel stigma. To help anyone struggling know they’re not alone — and to have hope. 1/

In this week's JAMA, my husband Ethan Sanford writes about the deaths of our daughter Ceci and his patient Terry. About how grief has informed his practicing of medicine and living a fuller life. Please read about our girl and share. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…
