Jesus defeated death so you can live.

The latest course on CTO starts Fri. #CTO2025 from @crfheart so I thought it interesting to look back at my 1985 interview with Andreas Gruentzig & hear his thoughts about #CTO. Much has changed since then (indications, protocols, controversy) and some hasn't. #AngioHistory

Nature, before pointing fingers about misinformation, let’s revisit your 2006 Alzheimer’s study. Retracted in 2024 due to manipulated images, it misled research for nearly two decades and wasted billions in taxpayer dollars. Maybe you should sit this one out.

These headlines always crack me up. "RED MEAT causes Diabetes!" Hmm. Americans eating less red meat than in 1965 but have 8 times more diabetes. C'mon @nytimeswell don't be a chump.

This is so bad. @sciam

It's official, @JoelSalatin to be an Advisor to the Secretary of the USDA and @RepThomasMassie to be Secretary of Agriculture. We are so unbelievably back, and truly are going to Make America Healthy Again. Great news for all, especially our farmers and ranchers!

UPDATE: Last week, a Nepali doctor filed a class action lawsuit against the National Board of Medical Examiners, alleging discrimination based upon national origin and requesting that invalidated USMLE scores be restored while examinees appeal. Today, the NBME responded. (🧵)

@stkirsch Surveys have a high likelihood of recall bias. Maybe looking at a low vaccination population as a control group? What is the autism incidence in the Amish population? I believe they have a lower rate of vaccination.

The overall rate of autism among the CHILDREN of my followers (and NOT my followers) is 4.8% which is 1 in 21 kids. My followers are under-vaccinated, so my estimates are on the low side. The real number could be as high as 5.7% or 1 in every 18 kids. This is a train wreck.

The CDC has been lying to people for over 20 years in denying the link between vaccines and autism. In just 40 minutes after launching my survey, I now have a highly statistically significant result. If you are unvaccinated vs. 10 or more vaccines, you have a 6X lower chance of being diagnosed with autism. The result is highly statistically significant (p=.0023). I'll make the data public tomorrow (Andy Wakefield and others already have it). Nobody should be surprised. The Mawson study and Hooker study (both published in peer-reviewed journals and not retracted) both showed very similar values (4X and 5X respectively). All the data is verifiable. My study is larger and more diverse than theirs. Any mainstream media "fact checker" want to check the facts? The whole thing was done in full public view. The CDC had 20 years to run the same survey I did. It only took me about 2 hours to write and debug it. I'll publicly release the data tomorrow for everyone to analyze. Maybe the CDC can make the signal go away through clever subgroup analysis.

@joevaron Back in 2020 this was fake news. Makes you wonder what else we’ve been lied about…

@FlauttEP @MiguelVldrbno Can we agree that the ice cath is in the right atrium?

@raulmgmd @MiguelVldrbno

Fun ICE image of the week. During a VT ablation with @MiguelVldrbno this image is seen. Where is the ICE catheter and what is the red arrow pointing to? #ICE #EPeeps #AblateVT

@caldera_99 @jfcondado @bswhealth_ATX @BSWHRR_CARD Speaking of embolic protection @drjohnm

The Master of Tricks @jfcondado did not like you since the first time he saw you!!That is why we placed a Sentinel Device!!! We are glad we did!! #Sentinel #BSC #TAVR #RadialFirst We will never know what kind of harm you would have caused! #ByeFelicia @bswhealth_ATX @BSWHRR_CARD
