The American drug middleman got ratioed & turned off replies to this post because it's just NOT a ' #FACT ' that #PBMs save money. Each dollar of their rebates siphons $ from health care & raises drug prices, while they restrict pharmacy choice & abuse pharmacists. Time for reform!

This is great (although I set mine to use Perplexity):

On the bridge of the container ship Dali, 4 minutes from disaster, there's one critical moment we haven't heard about yet.

The very moment the ship lost power the 1st time.

What did the pilot do, right then?

His first thought, apparently, was safety — the bridge looming ahead.…

Decided I like Perplexity enough that I subscribed... and if anyone else wants to, here's a $10 off referral link / promo code (I'll get $10 credit too): perplexity.ai/pro?referral_c…

FINALLY: Results of CAR-T cell therapy for

#Sjogrens disease (SjD) and rheumatoid arthritis #RA :

These results are historical for Sjogrens! It shows that clinical trials with CAR-T cell therapy can meet the very difficult to achieve improvements in…

Finding that Perplexity right now provides the best researched answers to questions, provides sources and is faster than ChatGTP.

While I'm okay with using AI to help in scribing clinic notes, I worry that some clinicians will defer to generative AI for clinical decision making completely.

Certainly it's a valuable tool -- if you haven't used it to generate a differential diagnosis yet, you should -- but…

Thinking a lot about strategies for effective & efficient clinic charting.

How do we teach this to trainees as they transition to their attending roles?

What available resources are there so we don’t need to reinvent the wheel?

I'd like to see a better breakdown of what qualifies as bad processed foods.

eg: technically, things like frozen vegetables/fruits are processed. Things like oatmeal or granola are processed, but much less so than something like macaroni and cheese.

There's a bit of 'you know…

Did you know?

NASA only uses 15 digits of π for calculating interplanetary travel.

At 40 digits, you could calculate the circumference of a circle the size of the visible universe with an accuracy that'd fall off by less than the diameter of a hydrogen atom.

I don't like the phrase 'Bucket list'

What's a better term for this?

Who else is using freed.ai? I've been holding out on the beta version of AI generated from MModal, but wondering what people's experiences have been with this?

Physicians: Do you *pay* to use any of the AI's available?

Feel free to add comments below the poll.

Rheumatologists: what does your normal daily schedule template look like? (eg how many patients per AM/PM and how many new patients/follow ups). Also, what type of practice do you work in (eg academic, multispeciality, private etc)

People should be aware that the various adalimumab biosimilars aren't all FDA approved for the same diagnoses as Humira. (some of them miss a few diagnoses and you have to check)

Here's what Hyrimoz is approved for (from label: accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_doc…)
