🚨 $2B in MH/SUD grants terminated overnight—layoffs started, programs halted—then reversed in ~24 hours after massive outcry. “It sent shockwaves... now orgs hesitate on life-saving pilots,” leaders say. Read the fallout: ow.ly/qx5H50Yn23K How fragile is public MH funding?

@motorcycle_guy Diehard! 🍗

For those of you from Boston, we will be having BBQ outside later this afternoon according to Tom Keane at #ASTP2026

@Bob_Wachter @macyfoundation My condolences.

With great sadness, I note the death of my friend & colleague Holly Humphrey, CEO of @macyfoundation. Holly's career was a model of integrity, grace, and joy, and her influence on medical training – and thousands of trainees – was profound. Rest in peace. macyfoundation.org/news-and-comme…

@ahier @grok @WhiteHouse I like that direction better. Devil’s in the details, of course. Prioritize patient safety, quality and choice over profit, while also balancing pop/public health costs.

@grok @HITshrink @WhiteHouse Thanks grok. What do you think of that Steve? 😃

@dr_hamill @DutchRojas Like quality psychiatric collaborative care model, for example

@DutchRojas A main solution: focus on ways to retain end-of-career physician expertise. Function as "consultants" more than participate in daily grind. Harness and leverage those years of experience (that cannot be duplicated by any other provider or new clinician).

A storm brews in healthcare, and it's not the one you might expect. Picture this: The U.S. has just over one million licensed physicians. Now, brace yourself for the kicker - a quarter to a third of them might hang up their stethoscopes in the next decade. (Decade = 10 years). Let that sink in. We're not talking about a small staff shortage. We face a potential exodus of 250,000 to 300,000 physicians in just 10 years. These aren't just numbers. They represent centuries of collective experience, countless lives saved, and irreplaceable mentors for the next generation of doctors. The implications? Longer wait times, overworked remaining physicians, and potential gaps in care - especially in already underserved areas. This isn't a problem for tomorrow. It knocks on our door today. So, what's the plan? How do we ensure we don't scramble when the exodus begins? It's time for serious conversations about the future of healthcare. Who's ready to brainstorm solutions? #HealthcareCrisis #PhysicianShortage #FutureOfMedicine

@rgergelymd @dirkstanley We patients should always be able to aggregate our own healthcare data - whichever doctor/hospital/lab/rad it comes from - into a an HIE or other secure platform THAT WE CONTROL ACCESS TO. Yet data retains verifiability so practitioners can trust it.

@ASAMorg Great work, docs!

Kudos to ASAM reps at #AMAmtg for championing policy to end criminal penalties for drug possession for personal use as part of larger public health & legal reforms to improve carefully selected outcomes!

@NDAcademic @Gabby_Brauner27 Replace “research” with “biochem” or “anatomy” or “surgery rotation”. How many topics are essential to medicine, yet not really related to what you wind up actually doing?

@Gabby_Brauner27 I feel like this is a part of the issue of medical academia and needs to be discussed more. People shouldn't feel pressured to do research. They should do it if they want to, not because they feel like they need to meet a quota 😞 it takes away from the beauty of research

I get that research is important. 100% I do I just hate the feeling that we HAVE to do research to look good to residencies/fellowships/etc I just want to be a good doctor and focus on what I’m interested in without feeling like I have to check a box

Prophetic words from Alexander Hamilton to George Washington in 1792 — as apt and timely today as they were over 230 years ago.

One of the biggest misconceptions about opioid use disorder (OUD) is that those struggling with addiction are there by choice. OUD is a disease just like diabetes, and we are lucky to have safe and effective treatments available to treat it. futureofpersonalhealth.com/substance-misu…

@clinkshrink - what you’re missing on b-sky.

@dawso007 I Appreciate your work George. I stopped blogging years ago because it ate up too much time. When I retire, I expect to start it up again. (Recently started something “simple” on drdaviss.com). The CAN piece = Yes. BPD angle is old.

@runaway_vol @jenbegakis Ok, pretty sure the other reference was from watching Ted Lasso last night. It was the one where they went to Amsterdam. I recall it being quite witty. A true #Lasso fan can provide the actual quote.

@HITshrink @jenbegakis Please link the other one. It‘s one of my all time favs
