The absence of a cardinal feature of a Dx may mean the Dx is not present BUT It may also herald a more sinister version of the Dx. Examples 1. Cushing + weight LOSS-> Ectopic cushing 2. Hemolysis + LOW retic -> Poorer prognosis Other examples, #medtwitter? <3 @DxRxEdu

At the risk of boiling down too much and certainly losing some detail, one way to summarize this wonderful thread is that when we think about vaccine effectiveness, we should think of 4 key variables: 1 which vaccine, 2 age of the person, 3 how long after vax, 4 vs what outcome.

1/ Here is a comprehensive review of the data on whether we need COVID BOOSTER SHOTS. THE MOST IMPORTANT TAKEAWAY: IF YOU HAVEN'T YET GOTTEN A COVID VACCINE, NOW'S THE TIME! I'll put a Threadreader unroll at the end for those of you who find that more convenient to read/share.

1/#StoriesoftheMGH is the @MassGeneralNews storytelling series. Tomorrow is the next live installment! We all have stories. Too often, we don't tell them. We feel we can't or shouldn't, we don't want to or don't think others want to listen. I work alongside the inspired

1/⁣“#Socialdistancing” was not part of the vernacular in early March. I started feeling a dry cough but was told I was fine to work, so I went on with my life as usual--after all, I had cancer patients to care for. While I felt there was no way I had #COVID19, a nagging feeling

1/2020 was the first year I spent my March birthday indoors. Mandated to work from home, and with the extent of the #outbreak still largely unknown, I developed what I believed to be #COVID19 #symptoms. I dreaded calling Occupational Health. “Do you have body aches, fever, loss
