As a med student who had 2 children during med school I'm often asked what kind of support I need, and besides the obvious like childcare, I never had a good answer. This elective at the University of Minnesota is the definition of support, all med schools should take notes.

Successfully got a GLP1 approved for a Medicare pt to prevent CV disease! Copay is $600/mo = >50% of monthly Social Security. 😤 That is not "coverage". So disheartening to see companies providing Part D make billions denying care #geriatrics

@pallbro Sad to hear! I was doing fellowship in Chi ~2016 and they were very good, and part of the Medicare Bridge palliative care pilot (which showed cost savings and extended care in home earlier than traditional hospice....and then I never heard anything else about it after 2018).

NH/PI individuals are invisible statistically when aggregated w/Asians; NH/PI individuals are invisible as people when ahistorical health policy ignores colonialism & structural racism leading to social disadvantage & health inequities. @JAMANetworkOpen jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

@pallbro Love the very niche tweetorial! I have had one person with a esophageal ca that didn't respond to the above but found some relief with a calcium channel blocker (as smooth muscle relaxant). I think we started short-acting nifedipine then transitioned to XL. #Pallonc #geripal

‘Patient Is Otherwise Healthy’ | JCO Oncology Practice: must read for palliative care clinicians, although we may not have the staffing or bandwidth it didn't mean that the consult was not appropriate ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP…

@EWidera ...for a drug that made Medicare premiums jump 15% in 1 year. This whole debacle has been so infuriating - the cost, the risks, the further decline in trust in institutions like the FDA, and most importantly because it preyed on the hope of so many families

Another way to view the progression of lecanemab vs placebo, inspired by @schrag_matthewtweet's tweet (below), now includes an approximation of the stages of dementia in the background of the graph (welcome any feedback especially on approximations) x.com/schrag_matthew…

The much trumpeted "27% slowing" is a relative value - the absolute difference on this test was 2.5%. In this image, I have re-scaled the result from the NEJM paper to include the absolute difference. [Values approximated using a graph extractor.]

Much news yesterday about Biogen abandoning Aducanumab (Aduhelm) which should have never received FDA approval, but do remember this is the extent of our knowledge regarding the disease progression benefits of the #Alzheimers drug they are now focusing on: lecanemab (Leqembi)

I wrote 9 letters of recommendation this year, up from 3 last year. Hope this means students are recognizing the value of early palliative care!

@saugarmaripuri @sabarizvimd Ugh, let's recognize we all have competing tasks we're balancing at any given time, it's all triage. And I thought preventing illness so people don't end up in the ER was a good thing?

A pharmacist can’t take a call from a doctor to fill a prescription for a patient, because they’re too busy playing one. Pharmacist busy giving a “shot” to a customer. Unbelievable. We live in a topsy turvy world now.

When I first read the CDC guidance, I did the math of 6/37000 neurologic events and the 1.5 million older adults in MN and >200 gave me pause. I'm definitely recommending for lung disease and immunosuppressed, but am I overthinking a rare risk?

I cheered in my car when @WilliamDale_MD said "Geriatric Assessment is part of a precision medicine approach, beyond just genetics" YES YES YES. Great work to all on these guidelines!

I mean, every patient I've seen has a brain and heart. Guess I'm a neurologist and cardiologist too.
