It is gut wrenching to see all our colleagues and friends be let go all over the essential organization that have led in advancing medicine and keeping people safe. I don’t even know how we recover from this. What a loss for everyone in this country 💔

@NMHheartdoc @NorthwesternMed @NUFeinbergMed That is the inspiring person you are Clyde.

This is me… medicine, science, health equity, fitness, jazz, faith and especially joy & gratitude for my teams. Special shout out for family #TheBest @NorthwesternMed @NUFeinbergMed

@EricTopol @Brabbott42 Agree Eric. Let's find out why!

This isn't good, folks. Especially with not knowing why. wsj.com/health/healthc… @Brabbott42

@MittRomney @AnnRomney You are a hero Senator Mitt!

From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!

@Dr_HaniNajm @HHShkMohd @ClevelandClinic @CleClinicKids Well deserved Hani! Congratulations!

It is with great honor and pride to receive the #Great_Arab_Minds Award in medicine from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid @HHShkMohd an incredible initiative and a testament to the appreciation of Arab thinkers! @ClevelandClinic @CleClinicKids

@Farzad_MD Agree Farzad - it will an interesting legal challenge to track.

@ShelleyWood2 @michaelTCTMD @TCTMD Go for it Shelley!!!

If you put on running gear to forage for breakfast, you will run before breakfast. This pic for @michaelTCTMD who last minute can’t join the @TCTMD dream team for #AHA2023. Not pictured, my abs, which look exactly like Rocky’s. Keep pace w/ our coverage: tctmd.com/conference/aha…

@brianschatz Absolutely Senator Schatz. And I want to help you and our delegation get the Medicare benchmark for Hawaiian parity with the national average and to increase GPCI doc payments in our neighbor islands and rural areas! Aloha, Jack

We need an Ambassador to Israel and a Chief of Naval Operations. This is a serious situation that requires us to set aside our differences and make sure we have our full complement of leaders in defense and foreign policy. politico.com/news/2023/10/0…

@SVRaoMD @coconnormd @DukeHealth Congrats Chris - what a great career!

Congrats @coconnormd! So well deserved. Way back when I was an intern @DukeHealth Chris met with me to discuss career options and clinical research. He’s provided so many, including me, with incredible opportunities.

@CMichaelGibson LOL but so true!

It took me 73 seconds to figure out how to use the shower knobs in Prague this morning This near the median for a European city in my experience Shorter than Germany or Japan

@Drroxmehran @AmherstCollege @alexdangas1 Congrats Roxana!

A dream come true ⁦@AmherstCollege⁩ #classof2023 ⁦@alexdangas1⁩

@GreggWStone This is really an impressive response Gregg. Thanks for widely sharing the current smashing safety success of PCI in the absence of surgical back up! Awesome.

Final results. If these data are true (I believe them), it is hard to justify requiring PCI be performed in hospitals w/surgical services. Most people seem to believe the need for emergency PCI after CABG is at least as great. But obviously, most of the best programs have both.

@SVRaoMD @ABIMFoundation Pretty funky and awful, Sunil!

The @ABIMFoundation now lists those who have paid for, taken, & passed the certification exam as "not certified" if they don't pay the MOC fee(s). Anyone find this defensible?

@rryanhowells @Farzad_MD LOL- neither can I even tho it seems to work Farzad!

@Farzad_MD Clearly, you instructed the Aledade team to stuff the ballot box 😉

I still can't understand this

@EricTopol @Nature @ewencallaway Absolutely right on Eric!!

@Farzad_MD LOL. Real life issue; but know you have a different center of gravity in you

1/ As CEO of a mission-oriented company, the question that frustrated me the most? “Yes, Farzad, I know you mean well, but your ultimate, legal responsibility is to maximize shareholder profits. Period.” Is that true? A meditation (and a reveal) on what duty we owe, to whom

@hmkyale @KFF I agree Harlan it’s a disturbing trend with poor long term implications. We as docs have allowed our domination previously and ongoing by hospital corporations and health insurers. Leadership is needed among physicians.

Private equity firms are taking over medical practices at an alarming rate. Could this trend have negative consequences for doctors and patients? Will it lead to reduced access to care and higher healthcare costs? Needs to be watched. @KFF #patientcare" khn.org/news/article/m…

@ShelleyWood2 @venkmurthy @djc795 Go editor! Happy Birthday and Happy New Year!

1/ Dear @venkmurthy. May I propose that I don’t instruct you in 'the role of a cardiologist' and you don't tell me about 'the role of an editor' (esp. not on my birthday). This piece is clearly marked as opinion not article (as @djc795 very clearly points out. Thanks Dave!)

@Drroxmehran Yes a true legend! Happy New Year all!

RIP 🙏#Legend
