I’m glad to be returning to work following a serious medical emergency. On December 22 I had a sudden cardiac arrest in my living room. My heart stopped for 20 minutes. Five days later, it happened again in the hospital. I received more than 50 defibrillator shocks over several hours until my condition stabilized. Thanks to the heroic efforts of first responders, the medical team at Inova Health, and bystander CPR, I survived. Against all odds I’m well on my way to a full recovery. I’ve been uplifted by the steadfast support of my family, friends, and Bloomberg colleagues as I’ve healed. I feel incredibly lucky to be back to doing work I love. I am hopeful this up close and personal experience with the health care system will make me a better reporter. Let's catch up!

Feels like we are winning today… the editors have to give the authors a chance to respond. And, frankly, I will be interested in the response…

Honored to have won a George Polk award for my coverage of the turmoil at FDA last year. The STAT team was also recognized for reporting on the Trump admin's impact on health and science. statnews.com/2026/02/18/sta…

Multi-cancer early detection tests cost as much as $950. They aren't FDA-approved. There's no evidence they are beneficial for patients. And yet, Hims is advertising them in a Super Bowl ad. Read more from @KatieMPalmer: statnews.com/2026/02/06/tel…

More one-sided Medicare Advantage research: “The whole research institute’s agenda was set around what kind of topics can we work on to make Humana look good in comparison to traditional Medicare.” Must-read story from @caseymross and @TaraBannow: statnews.com/2025/12/16/inv…

@rachelsemmel Hi Rachel, could you provide more detail on this? When can NIH expect the funds to be released, for example? And why was this memo sent today if enactment was months earlier? Feel free to email me angus.chen@statnews.com

This is the big one: Kennedy is firing the entire #ACIP in a move he says is needed to restore confidence in vaccines. "It scares me to think of what’s ahead,” Mike Osterholm of CIDRAP told me. statnews.com/2025/06/09/rfk…
