@thanh_neville Kits are getting better in some respects - I know AAP (and it looks like the allergy associations) did a lot of advocacy and got anaphylaxis supplies into the reauthorization bill this year as well as narcan: trone.house.gov/2024/05/15/tro…. aafa.org/safer-skies-ah…

@blikethecheese @ShariqShamimMD @DrLongissimus @CommunityNotes Wait the AI was not the reason for retraction 🤯

🩺Kimberly J. Reidy, MD, FAAP, has received the American Society of Pediatric Nephrology (ASPN) Outstanding Service Award for 2024! Dr. Reidy has received this award for her work in designing, implementing, and advocating for new program initiatives. Congratulations Dr. Reidy!

@kidney_boy Don’t joke - peds did this.

New plan for increasing applications to nephrology fellowship. Require a 2-year fellowship to be a Hospitalist. #KidneyWk

@david_j_hall MOHELA has been busy this week!

@david_j_hall Congratulations but I also do not understand how you beat me to this?

PSLF works! What a relief to wake up and see a $0 balance and a smiley face.

@alt_tag @DuchessSexpert Median is just over $1200/month. So only your ENTIRE check instead of more. Still no money for food or gas. Hope that helps! businessinsider.com/cost-of-one-be…

@DuchessSexpert Start by looking at median, not average. Here in this small town, a friend just found an entire complex with 1-bed studios for $650/months, utilities and internet included. There are $$1.4K/month places, but those are luxury apts adjacent to the college campus or downtown.

@dr_cellini I might call a decision to discharge based on negative imaging an actionable finding, but apparently the study authors disagree with me.

Most interesting part of this article: ED physicians ordered the fewest number of CTA scans during the study period at 11%, followed by resident physicians 23% and nonphysician providers 67%. We’ve known this to be an issue for quite some time…

@MomPedBlog THIS is why it’s called URSOdiol??? 🤯🤯🤯

@thehouseofpod Nephrology: water park

Ideal first dates based on medical specialties - I’ll go first, Emergency Medicine: Rock climbing.

@ethanjweiss @kidney_boy Antihistamine of choice (I often pack both sedating and non)

@kidney_boy Do people really travel with something other than Advil and Tylenol? Or maybe some Tums? Ok I might have a few melatonins too. But other stuff? What do people take?

Docs, are you adding Paxlovid to your magic box of pharmaceuticals that you travel with?

@URMC_SHWIM @URMC_DeptMed Thanks, friends!

Congrats to Dr. Rebecca Levy on her PCEN Programs | CHOP Research Institute grant 🌟🙌🏾 Her project is Variation in the Care of Adolescents and Young Adults with CKD between IM and Peds Nephrologists. ⁦⁦@URMC_DeptMed⁩ #collapse-accordion-25899-2:~:text=Rebecca%20Levy%2C%20MBBCh%2C%20BAO%2C%20MSc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">research.chop.edu/pediatric-cent…

@sewistwrites I’m going to need a d&d 3x3 grid for this

@SwearyMess @MerriamWebster @kimjackson2008 This is my setup :) ‽

‽ is called an 'interrobang.' It is designed for use at the end of an exclamatory rhetorical question. interro = interrogation point (the technical name for the question mark) bang = printers' slang for the exclamation point. Are you brave enough to use one in an email ‽‽

@kdubbsy @michael_hoerger @nickmmark “With more than $2 billion in annual revenue, the publisher’s [Elsevier] profit margin approaches 40 percent” thenation.com/article/societ…

@michael_hoerger @nickmmark Major scientific journals are starved for revenue. Most crimes are committed to pay the mortgage.

Vinay Prasad: we need more RCTs to prove masks, vaccines are safe for kids. Until then don’t use them. People who criticize my position are silencing me. Also Vinay: despite CTE & other risks, football is definitely safe for kids to play. Anyone who says otherwise should STFU.

@ChuckHubbard73 @rachbarnhart @elissaj64 @MonroeHealth What intention could you have for narcan other than not letting someone die of overdose?

There is a “little free library” stand a couple doors down from me that doesn’t have books, but Narcan. One guy just walked by barely able to hold onto the amount he took. Yet the “library” is always filled up. This is saving lives. Thank you to @MonroeHealth.

@stkirsch *Menactra and Pneumovax have entered the chat*

Bottom line: To this day, there is no solid evidence polio was ever a virus and vaccines only work against viruses. So it isn't surprising that the vaccine likely did nothing. But the evidence is very clear (above) that the Gates intervention crippled nearly 500,000 kids in India.

Do you think the polio vaccine eradicated polio? Nope. Here's a FREE link to the first part of Chapter 10 on Polio in Turtles All The Way Down: Vaccine Science and Myth. tl;dr: The vaccine did NOT eradicate the polio "virus." Read free preview: tinyurl.com/TurtlesBookPol…

@MattCastelein @13WHAM rockinst.org/wp-content/upl… Check the first line of the Summary Findings, top of page 4. Spoiler: NYC is subsidizing your life.

@rvlevy @13WHAM That's funny, my tax return says otherwise.

Monroe County Executive Adam Bello said the 77 migrants being housed in Rochester are in the U.S. legally as they wait for their applications to be processed. He also said New York City would be footing the bill for their stay. 13wham.com/news/local/77-…
