Gosh I have a scary number of friends right now who have found out very important, actionable things from a Prenuvo scan. I was skeptical but now more open minded. The major issue seems to be price.

It's easy to despair when politicians, activists, and reporters create catastrophic fires, enable street addiction, and demand censorship, but we shouldn't. We are making huge strides against climatism, Wokeism, and addiction enablement. Now, we need to take it up a notch.

If you choose to wear a mask, selecting the right mask matters. Surgical masks and N95 respirators offer higher filtration, but fit is key. Must wear over your nose and mouth. Even with the best mask, airborne particles can find their way through side gaps if not careful enough

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young boy suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S. What’s the diagnosis?

Starting a community for clinicians who want to be involved in the venture world as an investor, board-member, advisor. Focus would be on practical tips, deal flow, diligence, negotiating, etc. Fave this if you're interested. And any thoughts on platform e.g. FB, WhatsApp etc.?

.@SecYellen has apparently pushed the SIBs to recycle some of the deposits they received from @firstrepublic back into FRB for 120 days. The result is that FRB default risk is now being spread to our largest banks. Spreading the risk of financial contagion to achieve a false sense of confidence in FRB is bad policy. The SIBs would never have made this low return investment in deposits unless they were pressured to do so and without assurances that FRB deposits would be backstopped if it failed. The market has responded to this fictional vote of confidence with a 35% after-market decline in FRB stock. FRB is no SVB. It is a well-managed, well-capitalized, high-service bank with good assets that is beloved by its clients. It is caught up in a bank run due to no fault of its own. It does not deserve to fail. We need a temporary systemwide deposit guarantee immediately until expanded and modernized @FDICgov insurance system is made widely available. The press release announcing the $30B of deposits raised more questions than it answers. Lack of transparency causes market participants to assume the worst. I have said before that hours matter. We have allowed days to go by. Half measures don’t work when there is a crisis of confidence. Again, I have no investments long or short in the banking sector. I am simply extremely concerned about financial contagion risk spiraling out of control and causing severe economic damage and hardship. We need to stop this now. We are beyond the point where the private sector can solve the problem and are in the hands of our government and regulators. Tick-tock.

Rhythm Strip from @AliveCor This is "serious" First Degree AV block with a PR interval of 343 msec! There is probably a pacemaker in this patient's future.

People forget that medicine used to be a calling for folks who were inherently entrepreneurial. There used to be much more of an opportunity to run a practice and be your own boss. Now it's all employees of a system.

@chrissyfarr This is not about entrepreneurship if there is an insurance oligopoly that strangles private practice physicians. Even with this record inflation, physician reimbursement has been cut for many private practices. US healthcare will not improve till payor issues are resolved

Just charged $700 for a 5m check of my ears for signs of blockage (none) and a recommendation for a saline rinse. $250 Out-of-pocket. The clinic billed a “moderate to complex” visit code. Should I fight this?

Elon Musk has released his personality too much, and he believes too much in the US and West’s “freedom of speech.” He will be taught a lesson.

An unstated cause for burnout is the industrialization of US healthcare and the rise of big health systems and big healthcare companies. Goal: administrative efficiencies and bargaining power. Side effects: everyone feels small, replaceable, invisible, insignificant.
