Though opioid overdose is a leading cause of disability and death, health systems lack incentives to make meaningful investments in proven overdose prevention services. #ACSC designation could change that. @DrHsuPsychiatry
JAMA@JAMA_current

💬 Viewpoint: Designating opioid overdose as an ambulatory care sensitive condition (#ACSC) could expand access to evidence-based prevention, improve care quality, and reduce avoidable hospitalizations. ja.ma/49bnFpH

Ten years ago, I was a first year medical student meeting my clinical skills group. Today, I’m teaching one. I’m so grateful to all my teachers- physician and patient. I’ll pass on everything you taught me as best as I can!

It also contains a harrowing reminder to keep diagnostic humility. “We assume the role of God as physicians, making the decision if someone lives or dies, and we owe it to our patients to have all the evidence before we make that call.”

Choice quotes from a moving Grand Rounds: “It’s our responsibility to be trustworthy” “Systems don’t care. Only people care.” “We would’ve found something to connect. We just had to look” Trust is the currency of transformative clinical care, for patients and practitioners.

3 years flew by! I’m grateful for my FM training. Appreciative of my mentors and faculty, the beautiful friendships that became family at @NMFM_Delnor, featuring my last day in the hospital and clinic. Thank you Chicagoland for the memories! Next: #HPM fellowship at UCLA.

How often are we prescribing HF meds that patients can't take due to💵? If a GDMT rx falls into the EMR and no pt is around to afford it, does it even improve ❤️mortality? No! So proud of my @uclaimchiefs co-Firm E residents @NealDixit and @katieptr for studying this!
Neal Dixit, MD@NealDixit

What is a cost-effective GDMT strategy for HFmrEF/HFpEF? We built a model w/ clinical trial data (TOPCAT, PARAGON-HF, EMPEROR/DELIVER) and simulated outcomes w/ regimens of MRA/SGLT2i/ARNi. Best 💊 combo? MRA + SGLT2i ARNi ⬇️ value at current 💵 Treat HF with urgency!

Pictured: the end of an era! This was @kaustav_shah’s last day at the @LosAngelesVA. I had the pleasure of working alongside him delivering renal and primary care. I learned from his impressive research at ACP on triaging patient messages. I know you’re off to do great things!

I precepted @skinnyfatPhD in primary care clinic yesterday and learned about his 🧬 discovery today! He elucidated how humans could make metabolically active brown fat. Mirabegron at (probably prohibitively) high doses burns 200ish calories per day using this science. Incredible!
