🚨ICE/Border Patrol agents were caught on camera committing a hit-and-run in Minneapolis. In the video, an unmarked federal vehicle is stopped in the road. A legal observer is sitting in a car behind them, not violating the law, just observing. Then, without warning, the agents start reversing the vehicle towards the observer… But, they failed to notice a parked car sits directly behind them. As the observer backs up, the federal vehicle slams into the parked car. They stop… and pull forward. You can see the moment they realized they just fucked up, and are debating what to do. They realize no one is in it… so they drive away. And this isn’t the first time… ICE and Border Patrol agents are driving aggressively through communities across the country, using their vehicles as weapons, putting neighbors, families, and bystanders at risk. And anytime they hit someone, instead of a parked car, they aggressively arrest the person they hit and say they were “rammed.” For a department that constantly claims it’s hunting criminals, their agents sure seem to be the ones committing the crimes.

Infection rates were significantly lower in TP vs. TR at 7 days (p=0.033) and 35 days (p=0.034), tho' not 4 months (p=0.1). Not sure why this is being reported as "negative" for infection thelancet.com/journals/lanon…

@ShaunLintern This is not the first time … and sadly will not be the last. I remember writing about this some years back @RCSnews following a similar incident. The importance of Emotional Intelligence! Sadly lacking in some.

It’s #CervicalCancer awareness month! The #HPV vaccine is highly effective. It can prevent 9 in 10 cases of the most high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) – the #1 cause of cervical cancer.

30y update! of the SPCG-4 trial comparing radical prostatectomy to surveillance in treating prostate cancer (pre PSA era). RR 0.52 and mean 2.2y gained with surgery. NNT 6 to avert a PCa death, 17 to avert any death. Glorious finish to SPCG-4 trial👍 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Whether you are an advocate of thoughtful PSA screening and treatment of localized disease OR argue vociferously against it, please digest this 30 year data (and remember it was largely palpable disease) nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
