Rita Butler, MD

Baby's first lead. Snapped this to send to my mom, Rita Watson, one of the original female interventional cardiologists. Got a bright color I can ID in a STEMI with a sleeve to protect the left axilla (fellow is the attendings first line of RX defense). #ACCWIC #ACCIC #ACCFIT

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵

Lovely to have ⁦@MEspositoMD⁩ back in town for #THT! Excellent talk on the RV in cardiogenic shock, reminding us to separate congestion from the assessment of RHF ⁦@Womenintxp_mcs⁩ ⁦@TuftsMCCVFellow⁩

Something tells me the future of Submassive PE is going to change in the near future. Looking forward to answering more questions in the upcoming PEERLESS trial here at @VirtuaHealth with @ButlerMd & @DoctorMoussa 55 y.o w syncope. O2 sat 90 on 5L> 99% on RA. PA 65/26 > 46/14.

My patient with protek in for 3 weeks. New distal rca lesion. Have you seen or heard of this? @Babar_Basir

I was recently told that testosterone is required for success in interventional cardiology. Let’s not confuse aggression with ability #ACCIC #cardiotwitter

Congrats to our very own @aomondi for winning 1st place in the Delaware Valley Echo Society Interesting Cases competition!

I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one. jayapal.house.gov/2021/01/11/cov…

@liz_yu1017 @UCSF @WiIP_WomeninIP NOOOOOO WHY NOT PHILLY

So excited to have matched @UCSF for interventional pulmonology! Thankful for all my mentors who helped me get here and looking forward to geeking out over all those wonderful toys 🤓 @WiIP_WomeninIP

Wow! Most states in US have <2% female cardiologists! We have work to do to represent the 50% of the females in our population. Talking Diversity @ACCinTouch @TNChapterACC with @ditchhaporia #ACCFIT #ACCWIC

@CardioLloyd @BahaNick16 @VickySellen Yeah needless to say with my genes, two pregnancies, and standing in lead in the Cath lab, this study is not of my own legs!

@BahaNick16 @ButlerMd @VickySellen I’m reminded of the old adage “Never stand when you can sit, never sit when you can lie down”

I was today years old when I first saw a venous valve actually close. #vascular

As if the British accent wasn’t enough. Way to go, Mun!

What’s wrong with this patient? #ACCFIT #ecg

No difference in long-term mortality w/ #PCI vs. #CABG for left main #CAD Systematic review & meta-analysis: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Follow @CCIJournal, facebook.com/CCIJournal Official Journal of @SCAI

Great lesson for all #ACCFIT!

With dr #Sutter at @mainlinehealth @LankenauCV, a master in #hybrid revascularization, #coronary surgery and #RoboticCABG! A pleasure visit Lankenau Hospital and Main Line Health care system! Congrats to all the team! @BaselRamlawiMD #RobertoRodriguez #GrayWilliam #Goldmanscott

@goofypremed @wearfigs Is it female physicians who are dumb? Or just DOs? Or just female DOs? What a tone deaf ad.

This - from Figs. I have no words.

@StevieBmd AAAAH I LOVE ITTTT

@ButlerMd Look what came in the mail for me @ButlerMd

Baby's first lead. Snapped this to send to my mom, Rita Watson, one of the original female interventional cardiologists. Got a bright color I can ID in a STEMI with a sleeve to protect the left axilla (fellow is the attendings first line of RX defense). #ACCWIC #ACCIC #ACCFIT

Thoughts on what this might be?
