@jasongoldmanmd @SEricksonACP @CDCgov @ACPIMPhysicians You make me so proud to pay dues. Thank you.

@SEricksonACP @CDCgov @ACPIMPhysicians It is very challenging when they selectively interrupt and prevent individuals from speaking, who are challenging their false assertions, but yet allow individuals to ramble on with anecdotes and opinions, and no basis in evidence, data or science.

This @CDCgov ACIP meeting is so problematic today! I’m so thankful that @ACPIMPhysicians President @jasongoldmanmd is holding their feet to the fire as best as he can. cnn.com/health/live-ne…

🔥We highlight our approach for developing and deploying an outreach campaign that ultimately linked hundreds of Latinos to sexual health services in Atlanta - GA doi.org/10.1080/175380…

@ATabarrok There’s lots that can and should improve in gov, but the most profoundly broken things are process and regs that put hard working people in kafkaesque situations.

Government regulation, not staffing, is the real problem. Cut regulation, and staff cuts can follow. Cut staff without cutting regulation, and the morass only gets worse. marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolu…

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

Our new paper explores how pass/fail grading has created a "shadow economy of effort," as medical students engage in extracurricular activities to compete for residency positions, often at the expense of clinical skill and well-being. @Midwest_MedPeds journals.lww.com/academicmedici…

I kept changing my mind which Jimmy Carter cartoon i should go with. Here's all three.

@BenMazer FFS Benjamin, some of us take admissions today.

A frank and productive exchange of views with my counterpart on key issues like expanding the global supply of candy and toys and tightening sanctions against chores.

@W_T_Han Any recommendations for more academic/rigorous CN history podcasts or YouTube?

Started watching this Chinese YT channel on history, talking about Song Dyn. One thing that strikes me is how often and casually the host makes Western references: Arendt, Burke, and just now the transition from FDR to Truman. Can't imagine US show citing Chinese history like so

@BradSpellberg @G_ROD_11 Also misread as hospital epidemiologist - just wishful thinking on my part 😂. So excited to see ongoing growth at LA County!

@G_ROD_11 Hi Guillermo, it was actually Epileptologist as in Epilepsy expert. We actually are hiring 1 position in ID actually which i didn’t put on the list as it’s a backfill rather than a new position. But there is 1 spot open in ID.

LA General, one of the largest public hospitals in the US, continues its one-in-a-generation transformation. We have hired an unprecedented 233 physicians/APPs in 12 months (yes, really!). We are seeking one final group of top-performing experts to join our amazing team for 7/25:

Visited @GradyHealth’s Ponce De Leon Center in Atlanta to learn about their STI prevention work and to talk about  @CDCgov's new clinical guidelines on #doxyPEP — the newest STI prevention tool. Learn more: bit.ly/4c8si3W

@stephenwpatrick Come visit us next door! We even have a museum @cdcmuseum

@CarlosdelRio7 My go-to, much easier to read than Harrison’s 😂

Excited to receive my copy of Goldman-Cecil Medicine 27th Edition. At 18 lbs for the 2 volume set this is a great textbook of medicine to have available for consultation and learning.

@IrisWangMD @Mayoclinicpress In for 2!

I am beyond excited to officially share the release of my children's book, "Boo Can't Poo"! Follow Boo's journey to a succesful💩with: 🏃‍♂️Exercise 🥤 Water 🥝 Fiber ... and more! Pre-order now: a.co/d/14eYMlq Official Release: July 16, 2024! @Mayoclinicpress

@W_T_Han This was recommended as class reading in my fifth grade class in Taiwan! Made a big difference in my life.

My mom was the Taiwanese translator for "What Do You Care What Other People Think." Really enjoyed this series recalling a childhood hero of mine

@BenMazer Historically, some of the best sushi in Baltimore 😁

@stephenwpatrick Welcome to Atlanta!!

The updated COVID-19 vaccine is effective, but is it cost-effective for the nation (especially now that special pandemic funding has ended)? Our researchers from @UMchear and their @umichsph colleague did an analysis for @CDCgov. What they found: michmed.org/bmPvM

@noelTbrewer The best part about this is how ritualized our case presentation is - “a woman with hypertension” 😂

My soul would leave my body.
