@MayorShengThao’s proposed cuts to the Oakland Dept of Violence Prevention threaten to harm my patients and the East Oakland community I work in @RootsEmpowers @NohaAboelataMD sfchronicle.com/bayarea/justin…

Excellent piece by @NohaAboelataMD on the importance of continued masking in healthcare

Congratulations to Maria J. Duarte, MD on her Fellow Abstract Award in Healthcare Disparities Research! Maria will present her award-winning abstract at @DDWMeeting May 6-9, 2023. bit.ly/3mRD7Dx #LiverTwitter #DDW2023

I wrote this to process the trauma of responding to a shooting on the doorstep of my clinic @RootsEmpowers. We need @AlamedaCounty to commit way more resources to this public health crisis: sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

@internxy @UCSFIMChiefs @MGBUnited Members elect delegates annually who are empowered with specific responsibilities eg attending annual CIR convention and voting on national issues there. Organizing committee is open to all members who want to be involved in the work of the union. Structure can vary by hosp tho.

I was a regional VP in CIR-SEIU while also a @UCSFIMChiefs chief resident. Union can win things that program leadership also want but lack power to achieve. Greater power for shared goals - improved resident working conditions and learning experience. Vote YES @MGBUnited!

@johncmessinger Congrats John! Welcome!

Cannot be more excited for the next three years at UCSF San Francisco General Primary Care Track Internal Medicine! #LeftCoastBestCoast

@odomjohnlab @LlinasLab I think I did that once as an undergrad!

@LlinasLab Our hospital blood banks have always been happy to save expired units for us. Parasites are happy in “expired” blood for some time and the price is definitely right. Maybe an option? For fresh we draw our own (w irb approval/consent)- I have had many undergrads draw mine

Malaria folks - my lab is currently paying ~$500 per unit of whole blood!! Anyone know of any cheaper options?

Proud of the work ⁦@RootsEmpowers⁩ ⁦@NohaAboelataMD⁩ are doing to address glaring pulse oximeter disparities sfchronicle.com/health/article…

@kidney_boy @manningtyree08 @DrZackaryBerger 🤯 wait so the KDIGO guidelines for aggressive BP control in CKD are based on what exactly?

@manningtyree08 @DrZackaryBerger I think instead accepting that causality we should look deeper. I think the remarkable association of APOL1 and hypertensive nephrosclerosis is an example of what might be discovered if we open our minds and reject HTN causes CKD.

CKD without proteinuria is the HFpEF of nephrology. Common problem, no good tools to treat it.

We are hiring a Clinical Programs Specialist at @RootsEmpowers! If you know someone looking to work on clinical programs for patients in East Oakland, send them our posting: workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default…

New Sutter research in the @AmJEpi reveals that a pulse oximeter’s error on reading the blood oxygen levels of Black patients could have contributed to #COVID treatment delays. Learn more about these findings. @UCSFMedicine, @RootsEmpowers bit.ly/3BY5rY7 #healthequity

Very excited to share a @JAMA_current Viewpoint written with @Riagpal and @jessiege_, reflecting on the professional roles of physicians and how housestaff activism is a critical piece of realizing our responsibility as health advocates #medtwitter #meded jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

@AndreaLMerrill @uche_blackstock @Delta A few years ago I worked with the @afa_cwa and a coalition of other groups as well as a few members of congress to advocate to FAA for adding naloxone to required EMK. Ultimately unsuccessful but might be worth seeing if AFA wants to help work on this again.

Dear @Delta, I just assisted in a medical emergency in the air. Your medical kits need a glucometer, epi pen, and automatic blood pressure cuffs- it’s impossible to hear with a disposable stethoscope in the air. Please improve this for passenger safety!

@andy_hyatt_ quick google search reveals this nature paper though, wonder what you think? nature.com/articles/s4158…

@andy_hyatt_ Definitely wouldn't say I have much expertise! Have been peripherally following long covid but haven't done a deep dive in the literature. Here's the MMWR: cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7… interesting no changes in neurocog testing in that ACP study.

Seeing absolutely extraordinary claims like this about COVID on my timeline daily, often with 10s of thousands of retweets. How did the claim that COVID is a “vascular disease” that can cause “serious neurological complications” after mild illness become widely accepted for some?

@andy_hyatt_ Eg from MMWR

@andy_hyatt_ I think increased mortality due to MIs and other vascular causes as well as lasting neurocognitive effects have been proven though?
