To date, Africa, with a population of >1.2 billion, has only had a small fraction of #COVID19 deaths and < 80,000 confirmed cases. Why? 1. Rest-of-world comparison Our World in Data and The Economist

Consistent data from our multicenter health system (#MGB) spanning >6K patients showing a striking 43% ⬇ in acute CV hospitalizations during #COVID19 Thank you, Muthu Vaduganathan for allowing me to be part of this important work Now out in JACC Journals: onlinejacc.org/content/early/…

We’ve seen this in South Africa before. Beware of agitators and instigators who use legitimate protests to ignite chaos between protestors and police.

For all the protestors, pepper spray is oil based. If you get sprayed DO NOT rub your eyes. Immediately blink as much as you can to wash out some of the oil with your own tears. Then, wash your eyes with baby shampoo and rinse copiously with water. Be safe.

A moment of silence for #GeorgeFloyd just beyond the MA Statehouse followed by applause. So far, it has been peaceful. BPD officers on bikes, riding alongside protesters. #WBZ

Netflix We are NOT IN 2020 going to allow the misinformation & lack of about #Haiti, Haitians & our protest in your #History101 series to re-stigmatize Haitians. EP 9 "AIDS" need to be EDITED or REMOVED! Aids did not come from Haiti. This info have been scientifically refuted!

Makes me think of how racism is amplified by transplant committees, as demonstrated here (ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JA…) by Khadijah Breathett, MD, MS, FACC, FAHA, FHFSA. #Blacklivesmatter in cardiology. #WhiteCoatsForBlackLives

Important work by Darshali Vyas. Beyond impressed (though not surprised) that this was done while an intern MassGeneral Medicine!

I care for a patient, a Black woman, who lost her job due to 🫀disease. In 19 days, her private insurance will run out and, with it, access to treatment at her current non-profit academic medical center. This is critical 👇

Whoever thinks a doctor of education is not a doctor needs to examine where the word doctor comes from. We medical doctors are the ones who stole it...

Ludovic Lamothe (1882-1953), known in #Haiti as "The Black Chopin," eventually became Chief of Music of the Republic of Haiti. What a title! If only there were one today.... Listen to Charles Phillips play Lamothe's stirring compositions. youtube.com/watch?v=AzZqY2…

New: Dr Slavin Sam S. and colleagues from Houston Methodist address #financial burden, distress and #toxicity in #cardiovascular diseases and provide action items to overcome related clinical inertia. Haider Warraich Rohan Khera Javier Valero Hyeon-Ju (HJ) Ali, MD bit.ly/3tAasQq NIH

Many docs advocate for $$$ therapies without stating the obvious: that their financial toxicity exceeds any clinical benefit to the patient. Led by Brigham & Women's CV Fellows Sam S. in AmericanHeartJ we highlight the growing financial burden of cardiac care. 1/ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Stella would die without heart surgery, but no one would operate on an active drug user. Perhaps stories like hers can make us question what we mean when we say “get clean.” Read the Perspective by Sam S.: nej.md/41YhjpY

Thank you, Stella, for encouraging me to share this story. It changed how I think about being a doctor. Thanks to Lisa Rosenbaum and NEJM for helping to make it happen.
