Tips for interns: Start by giving your recommendation about what SHOULD be done. Don't start by detailing all the treatments that could be done and then why they shouldn't. You can address this after the punchline if needed. #medtwitter #MedEd
#Workcomp madness: I requested OT for trigger finger. The request was denied because the finger is not an accepted body part. The HAND is accepted, but not the finger. Way to use your brains @TheHartford
Just had a work comp insurance adjuster deny cyclobenzaprine but suggested hydrocodone as an alternative that would be approved 🤦🏻♂️
It is infuriating to see politicians like @GovAbbott intimidating patients and their physicians. As physicians we can't let this stand! nytimes.com/2022/02/23/scien…
By these standards I would consider myself an "incomprehensibly pleasant" patient #medtwitter #epic
Access to safe and legal abortion is not only an already established constitutional right, it is part of comprehensive medical care. Whether or not you would choose to have an abortion or not, it's not for anybody but a pregnant woman to decide what is right for her.

A lot of attention being paid to #PaidLeave this morning, and rightly so, but there is another once-in-a-generation benefit on the chopping block: dental coverage for seniors.
Contributing to the challenge is a rift among dentist groups over who should receive it.
Advocates see a once-in-a-generation opportunity to add dental coverage for seniors, but one question divides them: How many of the more than 60 million Americans on #Medicare should receive it?

Great journalism like this probably played a part in @US_FDA changing the label for #Aducanumab to restrict it to mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's. @AmerGeriatrics @jasonkarlawish -nytimes.com/2021/07/07/healt…
