James Beckerman, MD

On call, masking and gowning constantly. I can’t see anyone’s faces, but I’m surrounded by heroes. It’s incredibly moving. This is a privilege.

@DrRoderickTung @HRSonline @utedrow @wgstevenson1 @TheRhythmDoc @lusty63 @paulzei @KNagashima18508 @DrKoplan I’ve been waiting 23 years for this tweet…!

@jamesbeckerman @HRSonline @utedrow @wgstevenson1 @TheRhythmDoc @lusty63 @paulzei @KNagashima18508 @DrKoplan Guest reunion appearance next year?!

A huge personal highlight of Heart Rhythm Society 2025 was the opportunity to sing with The Dysrhythmics, a band of exclusively #EPeeps, led by legend Bill Stevenson. 🙏 So proud of our field, with multidimensional heart rhythm docs 🎶🎤🎸 @HRSonline

@HeartSisters @QuitTheSitting Thank you!!!

@QuitTheSitting @jamesbeckerman I love this #HeartToStart book so much - when it first came out, I ordered it 10 at a time to give copies away at my talks as door prizes! amazon.com/Heart-Start-Ei…

"Born to walk?" Physicians, get out your prescription pads and prescribe this book by Oregon cardiologist @jamesbeckerman to every one of your heart patients. #HeartToStart myheartsisters.org/2015/02/08/bor… via @HeartSisters cc @QuitTheSitting

@QuitTheSitting @HeartSisters Thank you so much!

@HeartSisters @jamesbeckerman Please, physicians, write a prescription for this book and then with pad and pen in hand, write a second prescription for #walking. Walking works wonders! Thanks for the post, Carolyn!

@FRITZSWORD Thank you so much!! So glad you’re enjoying them!

Happy Mother’s Day!

@WrightPartyof_6 Josh - thank you! The best part was getting the chance to say hi to families passing by and scaring parents by suggesting their kids take up chainsaw carving :)

@jamesbeckerman This is my first ever tweet. While taking our dog on a walk my children noticed you doing your amazing artwork. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to answer their questions and explain how you create an amazing piece of art from a tree stump. It looks amazing!

Meet Rosie! When a tree at Rosemont Ridge Middle School (home of the Coyotes!) came down during a storm, I was asked to carve it into the school mascot. Thanks to the school community for the opportunity! #bojibearcarvings #carveologist

“If we learn anything from the pandemic, let it be this: Genuine public health requires robust, well-funded public systems designed to meet the needs of the most excluded members of society and to protect them from exploitation, disposability, and disease.” - a must read

One of my chainsaw carving goals has been to work on-site at someone’s home. Yesterday I carved this 🦅 to surprise a Portland firefighter. He’d left for his shift just before I arrived, and will see it today when he gets home! Hoping he loves it. #bojibearcarvings #carveologist

Consequences of vaccine inequity: "Given the potential for dangerous mutations that could render vaccines less effective, it is epidemiologically irresponsible. And delays in vaccinating the global population have an economic cost as well." @TheEconomist economist.com/graphic-detail…

I think this polypill data is fascinating - and while we're at it let's figure out how to share and distribute vaccines too world-heart-federation.org/news/study-sho…

@Anna16176014 @MrAhmednurAli For sure!

A stump to grind! My first time on a scaffold - a little scary, a lot of fun. #bojibearcarvings #carveologist
