Dusting off my old MPH thesis on "Health Care Antitrust and the Myth of the Medical Market". Written many (many) moons ago but some of it may still resonate. Not sure we've made much progress... Posted here for anyone curious: drcoops.substack.com/p/health-care-…

New @urotoday editorial: Prostate Cancer Diagnostics in the AI Age: Fast, Crowded, and (Hopefully) Open urotoday.com/center-of-exce…

@jdhdavis I forgot all about the hand brake!! That was the bomb.

If you had one of these at that age it very much outlines your possible birth year plus or minus a few.

@DrSpratticus @ChapinMD @urotoday @UroOnc @Uroweb @wandering_gu @BogdanaSchmidt @CanesDavid @DrMLChua @HimanshuNagarMD @AmarUKishan @piet_ost @alison_tree @declangmurphy Obvi adds nearly zero to MRI or TRUS. But what @uroegg said… it should still be done as part of work up for either elevated PSA or LUTS. I’m still waiting for version 7 of Zoom to facilitate remote DRE like they promised 😆

#EAU26 DRE not recommended for asymptomatic men. What are people’s thoughts on need for routine DRE in era of MRI? @ChapinMD @urotoday @UroOnc @Uroweb @wandering_gu @BogdanaSchmidt @CanesDavid @DrMLChua @HimanshuNagarMD @AmarUKishan @piet_ost @alison_tree @declangmurphy

Today I am proud that the second edition of my 7 October Parliamentary Commission Report is being published. It's on 7Octparliamentarycommission.co.uk We cannot allow history to be distorted and 7 Oct denial to win @AppgIsrael #7October #Israel

#EAU26 @tompowles1 blunt take on the evolving UC landscape: EVP first. Questions later! 🔹 Platinum chemo → no clear role in 1L 🔹 Focus now on managing EV+P toxicity 🔹 Other ADC + IO combos are emerging (DV+Tori) 🔹 In perioperative EV+P relapse → platinum may come back The paradigm is shifting fast. @uroweb @UroToday

🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨 Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets... When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement... Who stood with us? Who risked everything? The Jews. They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight. - Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would. - When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away. - In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish. - Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever. Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized. That's why I stand with the Jews. They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us. So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today: Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us. Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together. Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights. Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it. I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱 Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters. #BlackJewishAlliance #RememberOurAllies #StandTogether #CivilRightsTruth #NoToAntisemitism

Prof Hugosson: Göteborg trial with 30 year outcomes! NND falls to -6-, with greatest benefit for men 50-59 at randomization. Despite no image guidance, high overdx, and suboptimal tx. Best evidence we have re: the evidence for #prostatecancer screening. Get tested! #eau26 @uroweb

I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell. Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

DRE discourse in images at #eau26 😁

How should we use radiology AI for #prostatecancer? Maarten de Rooj #eau26 @uroweb What do you think??

Peter Albers lays out the case for early baseline PSA testing for #prostatecancer from the PROBASE study #eau26

@mdubowitz @FDD Russia and Iran are not only America’s enemies; they stand in opposition to democracy and freedom worldwide

Now is a clarifying moment: If you defend democracies only when politically convenient, you’re not defending democracies. The left should back Israel. The right should back Ukraine. Both are fighting America’s enemies. At @FDD, we proudly stand with both.

Spectacular keynote #eau26 from Vanessa Hayes on the genetic underpinnings of #prostatecancer disparity and diversity among men of African descent

Monique Roobol #eau26 wonderful update on PRAISE-U; RCT vs real world implementation of #prostatecancer screening across the EU @Uroweb

Tumor markers in #PCascreening Take home message: screen all men in mid life, use secondary screening tests prior to prostate biopsy (markers have better NPV compared to MRI) @dr_coops #eau26

Johan Strane #eau26: updates on @uroweb #prostatecancer screening guidelines. These recs close a few gaps compared to @AmerUrological guideline. We need to drop the workup threshold lower than 3 in midlife, and nail down MRI vs liquid marker based 2ndary triage.

Suicide is now the LEADING cause of death for US medical residents. We are losing 500 physicians a year. That is an entire med school class. Stop demanding "resilience" from doctors and start fixing the system. Tie executive bonuses to wellness, not just RVUs. Link to the recent episode is in the comments 👇
