@GomezDLeonMD @rennquevedo @dgomezalmaguer Really cool!

Teclistamab doses can be reduced by half, given for a limited time, and remain highly effective for RR MM patients maximizing access. Look for the TECLISito poster on Sunday at #ASH25 #Shouldvebeenoral #MMsm @rennquevedo @dgomezalmaguer

@AhmedElshaerMD @MazenAlmasry4 @ZQamhieh19599 Congrats Chief!

Thrilled to share that I matched into Cardiology at the University of Michigan!! Even more grateful that I couples matched, with my wife @ZQamhieh19599 matching into Rheumatology at Michigan as well. Grateful to all my mentors and super excited for this next chapter!! 💙💛@UMichCardiology #GoBlue

🚨ASH increased its investment in #hematology research & training, which means more opportunities right now to receive funding! 🧵👇See the thread for open opportunities by career stage. 📢 Help us share! #ASHTrainee #Fight4Hematology #MedTwitter 1/8

Korea just got slapped with a 25% tariff—because of trade barriers that don’t exist. They already have a free trade deal with the U.S. Zero tariffs. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. A kimchi donut.

RIP Sam

Today is a sad and harmful day for patients and health care across the country, and its impact will reverberate for years. This bill moves us in the wrong direction. It will make it harder to access care and make patients sicker because the lifelines of Medicaid and CHIP are severed. That is unacceptable. spr.ly/60154mR2T

People do not understand that if 4,500 J1 doctors are removed THERE IS NO POOL OF 4,500 doctor lying around to replace them with. It also means around 500 programs will suddenly be competing for those available. And..... we have only THREE WEEKS till orientation @SecKennedy @SecRubio @POTUS

@ibflormed @UMMCnews Congrats!

Absolutely thrilled, still feeling nostalgic and surreal, to report that I matched @UMMCnews for cardiothoracic surgery fellowship! I’m going to be a🫀surgeon when I grow up!

Heading to XGM? We're happy to be sharing what we've been working on! @UW_ICU_DataSci @Majeans2011 @p_kleinschmidt @HamidEmamekhoo @uw_medicine @UWEmerMed @HeyEpic @heidi_twedt @DrJoelGordon @DrJasonDambach @NavinPathakMD

The best part of @ASCO #ASCOAdvocacySummit is advocating on Capital Hill for patients with cancer. The 2nd best part is seeing some of my favorite fellow health policy friends, colleagues, and collaborators.

My crazy Severance fan theory is that Lumon is a health insurance mega corporation and the innies in macro data refinement are denying claims.

Resident pulling an 80 hour week calls Mohela. Wait time is 4 hours.

My guess? 1 in 8 people in academic medicine were on an h1b at one point If you add that to the people whose parents were on an h1b it is probably 1 in 3

Here are 10 randomized trials I'd love to see (share links if they've been done!): 1. Potassium repletion to >4.0 vs 3.5 or 3.0 in hospitalized medical patients 2. Treatment vs observation for hypertensive urgency 3. Iron supplementation (likely IV) vs placebo for anemia of chronic inflammation 4. Diazepam vs Lorazepam (both symptom-triggered) for alcohol withdrawal 5. Symptom-triggered benzos versus phenobarbitol for alcohol withdrawal 6. NSAIDs vs opioids for acute pain in CKD 3+ 7. NSAIDs vs opioids for acute pain in AKI 8. Transfusing for a hemoglobin <7 g/dL vs < 6g/dL (or lower) in hospitalized medical patients 9. Tranfsusing for a hemoglobin <7 g/dL vs for symptoms in hospitalized medical patients 10. IV furosemide vs PO torsemide for acute on chronic heart failure What would you like to see?

@samgarza__ Very sorry to hear this. Keeping you in my thoughts.

I had to decide between continuing aggressive treatment or stopping altogether. Life is so unfair.

A must read for anyone passionate about #cancercare & #cancerequity 💥 Undoubtedly, a landmark review on #prostate #cancer #disparities to read and cite for years to come 📜 Congrats to a herculean effort by @EChrisDee who poured his heart and soul into this review 🎊

The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize. Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition. It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.

🦀 Approach to Lymphomas 🦀 Re-sharing this updated framework with some increased organization, new references, & more specific terminology. Let's take this ride again!

I am proposing a plan that will allow Medicare to cover in-home health care.

@_payalc @greenjrnl Congrats!!! Hope you are doing well.
