Eleven years ago today, 26 elementary school students and teachers were lost in the Sandy Hook shooting that took place in Newtown, Connecticut. 😔 ⁣Please take a moment to remember the children and teachers who were lost. ❤️ #alwaysinourhearts

@arun_kahlon Beautiful 😍

The days are long but the years are short ❤️

@Gaurang_MD @GillKentucky @pfizer Congratulations 🎊

I am now the Director of Cardiac Amyloidosis @GillKentucky! Honored and humbled. Onwards and upwards! Big plans for the program are upcoming, including a recently awarded $20k competitive education grant from @pfizer to spread the word about amyloidosis in Kentucky.

By passing #S3599 now, we can ensure that our workforce is strong and our hospitals are prepared for the months ahead as we fight #COVID19. It's critical this legislation is included in the #HEALSAct. @sendavidperdue @SenatorDurbin @SenatorBaldwin wpr.org/immigrant-doct…

The widespread effect of #COVID19 coupled with physician shortages in Arkansas needs bolstering of the Healthcare workforce. Adding #S3599 to the #HEALSAct will help avert the crisis & save American lives. @SenTomCotton @JohnBoozman Dear Arkansans-click bit.ly/33jzcmC

Went fishing today, and all I got was this leadless pacemaker that had migrated to a pulmonary artery. Ever done this before @JReinerMD? @VAhealthyhearts

Support #S3599. Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act. This bill clears 15000 immigrant physicians who have an approved immigrant visa petition and are waiting for years to be permanent residents. @VP @SenatorBraun @amyklobuchar @Atul_Gawande @FutureDocs @SHMAdvocacy @wearepaha

@ImmadSadiq So sorry for your loss Dr. Sadiq

Deeply saddened. My 50yo beloved cousin succumbed to AMI last night. At home. Alone. SCD. Not Covid positive but Covid phobic. Covid thanatophobia. That prevented him from seeking prompt care. RIP brother. You ll always be missed. 💔😢

1/ #COVID19 Thread: my first case of acute #Hydroxychloroquine intoxication. How do you manage it? Here is what I learned and useful resources I would like to share for your next case, as this presentation may become common. Many thanks to Dr. @PeterRchai for your teaching!

Features of #COVID19 @ACCinTouch #CCAACC 🔹fever predominant feature 🔹cough (less often productive) 🔹cough presents on discharge (Lancet paper) 🔹 more than pneumonia 🔹 abnormal coagulation: ⬆️ d-dimer so anticoag needed @TheLancet @Drroxmehran @CMichaelGibson @hmkyale

1/5 #cardiotwitter Massive LV Pseudodyskinesis (PDK)! Reporting #WhyCMR @hospitalclinic 🙏💪 from home!

i'm back on inpatient service tomorrow. Formulating my strategy for #decontamination when home. Spoke to a colleague with extensive virology experience who had recs I thought worth sharing, esp if you have higher risk family members, to lower risk of #COVID19 transmission (1/n):

I just published Why Does LDL-C Decrease With An MI? link.medium.com/whHvfZMLh4. Many clinicians are unaware that LDL can decrease a lot with an MI, infections, and surgery.

A middle aged man presented to the ER complaining that he’s been feeling dizzy and short of breath. This fantastic 12-Lead #ECG was recorded. What’s the diagnosis?

My framework for ethical refusal again in light of latest Trump HHS rule. Withhold treatment if violates our professional duties but not if only offends our religious sensibilities. Practicing medicine is a privilege, not a right, & comes w/responsibilities that are not optional.

Nice to see without a paywall, #EPeeps @ashkumar513
