Um, excuse me, Google Docs??

How is it a single tornado at a single manufacturing plant of a single pharmaceutical (Pfizer Inc.) wipes out the supply of 8% of hospital injectables?! Answer: GPOs. What are GPOs…? Another mafia of healthcare…🧵 Group purchasing organizations are analogous to PBMs, but for

Breaking my twitter exit to share an important though heartbreaking situation One of my student advisees just lost her husband of less than a year to a tragic accident that occurred right after they relocated for her to complete her internship year gofundme.com/f/christopher-…

Going to graduate school? One of the best things you can do to prepare is disabuse yourself of the laughable notion that the humans who occupy academic spaces are substantially different from humans in any other space.

I have seen women not at all absorb patches and gels. We see poor transdermal absorption in men all the time and switch men to injectable testosterone. We use blood levels of testosterone in men and women to stay guideline based. We use lab values and symptoms to manage care.

Migraines are underdiagnosed AND undertreated How can something that affects more than 1/10 people be overlooked so easily? Let's talk about what migraine is AND isn't so you won't miss it when taking care of your patients! #MedSocial30 Day 2

It’s okay for medical students & doctors to experience mental illness, *including* psychosis & still recover & practice medicine We *can* be thriving and safe and capable clinicians, despite going through illness It’s important that doctors are as diverse as patients

It is not possible to transport hundreds of sick people from 600+ bed hospital across an area of land twice the size of Wash D.C. while maneuvering rubble and dodging missiles in an area currently without electricity or water. Many #MedTwitter members are in Gaza hospitals.

Everyone is commenting on my tweet saying “why would you want to do unpaid labor??”. THIS. I was one of those students who had to publish to graduate. Everyone I know is. When it takes 6 months to get reviews & you can’t graduate without a pub, you’re being unfairly punished.

So grateful for Aetna who hasn't paid hospitals or physicians for the past 30 days but still audacity to force "peer-to-peers" between an orthopaedic surgeon and an ob-gyn NP for TKA hospitalization authorization. Great use of resources! Dr. Glaucomflecken Brian Chalmers

I’m convinced that nobody goes into pregnancy knowing what a Urogynecologist is because then we’d have to admit up front WHY Urogynecologists need to exist (and why there’s a 6 month waiting list to see one).

I was sexually harassed and assaulted by my dissertation chair for most of my PhD program. For >2 years, I navigated the labyrinthine Title IX process. This week, my abuser/former mentor was the 2nd prof in 60 years to have tenure revoked. Some things I learned along the way: 🧵
