I encourage everyone to watch this entire @jaketapper segment which lays bare how deeply evil and cynical Hamas and its top funder the Islamic Republic are. This does not mean governments are off the hook, but Hamas and the Islamic Republic do not wish for freedom... all they want is death, destruction, and subjugation.

Let’s start a list of things that were imposed on medicine without data: Computerized physician order entry Quality metrics MOC Modules (wellness, cybersecurity…) Pre-op H&P updates Banning drinks at nurses stations @DrBrian4Health @AlexAabedi @SpineNeuro @cscla @MayaBabuMD

Crowdsource question: did anyone actually randomize whether or not patients should have direct access to CT scan results when they are getting chemotherapy for cancer? It may provide comfort and control, or you get news you don't know what to make of. Which is more common?

Not a doctor tweet but one as a concerned patient. I went to New Haven Dental Group. Despite having been seen in Nashville 6mos prior, they said I needed 3 fillings (which I had done)... I came back 6mos later for cleaning. No X-rays. The dentist said: 6 more fillings... (1/n)

My husband said I should report it. Not sure how so sharing here. Many people told me, "this is so common." Only go to dentist "with a good referral." Always get 2nd opinion if fishy. Finally a shout out to excellent Yale health insurance for covering the transfer to new doc. fin

I saw the new dentist yesterday. Cleaning and exam. She said there are "no concerns." She reviewed X-rays from Nashville (NHDG had not sent theirs). She said likely didn't need any of the fillings. Once a drill enters a tooth though... Anyway, I found it very disturbing (3/n)
