This incredible photo of Space Shuttle Columbia was taken #OTD in 1992. This is the launch of Spacelab mission STS-50. The 13-day mission was the first Extended Duration Orbiter flight and the longest shuttle mission to that date.

The latest on TS Chantal today, but more importantly, we take a deep dive into the causes and forecasts leading up to the horrific flooding tragedy in Texas. A lot to unpack today. open.substack.com/pub/theeyewall…

One year ago today, history was made at THI as the first BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart was implanted in a 57-year-old man who suffered from heart failure. Congratulations to our patient and the entire #BiVACOR, team for this amazing accomplishment in cardiovascular health.

Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA I totally agree. Many years ago (in the 1990's), when I was Chief of Surgery, I was publicly excoriated by JCAHO reviewers who opened an ortho chart and failed us because the orthopedist did not have a comprehensive family and social history. Never mind that that the team

🤔If high LDL cholesterol is so dangerous… why doesn’t it hurt? ☝️Because evolution doesn’t care if you drop dead after you’ve reproduced. 👉LDL cholesterol is a silent killer—causal, cumulative, and completely asymptomatic. You won’t feel your arteries clogging. You won’t

This paper is so important and puts to rest those jumping on the VLDL/remnant bandwagon at the expense of ignoring LDLs. What everyone needs to do is order apoB, a one-time Lp(a) and then work hard at lowering apoB. The treatments that lower apoB lower both remnant-P and LDL-P

My nephew is hospitalized s/p MVA with a complex lower extremity injury that will require surgery. His friends were badly hurt in the accident as well, so he’s also extremely worried about their outcomes. Every night in the hospital, they wake him through the night for temp

Listen, we have way too many doctors trying to do research. Stop it. Go see some patients.

Grieving the loss of one of my best friends, Jim Lovell. His extraordinary legacy is cemented by many space missions: Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13. Our mutual respect had no limits. The Gemini XII mission we flew together paved the way for the Apollo
