True. We should still endeavor to be good doctors.
Most Hospitals do not want good doctors. They want average providers who can see lots of patients and refer to other specialties. The more referrals, the higher the downstream revenue. This is another reason why health care cost continues to ⬆️. #perversehealth

80% of doctors now work for private equity and corporate entities.
Doctors should be focused on their patients, not quotas set by investors who know nothing about medicine.
I’ve got a bill to push back against the corporate takeover of medicine.

A major step forward for women at #ESCCongress 🫀
The new 5th Universal Definition of MI explicitly requires sex-specific 99th-percentile troponin thresholds recognizing that using the same cutoff in women and men can systematically underdiagnose myocardial injury in women
It also recognizes SCAD, coronary vasospasm & embolism as causes of primary MI—mechanisms especially important in women.
Women’s heart attacks don’t always look like men’s. Our definitions finally reflect that. We wanted to enforce this in the Cheat Pain guidelines but we didn’t have enough data in the US at that time. Glad this has changed!

It's time to disconnect from @Google . Getting rid of Google maps, Google Chrome and Google drive are the first steps we can take.
Other options are out there without the security and privacy risk or the sucking up to a deranged president.
Nice!
For the cardiac CT lovers!
Excited to share this new book on Cardiac CT!
Forever grateful to Dr. Braunwald who asked me to write this and for his guidance and mentorship along the way. While we are mourning his recent passing, I will treasure all the conversations I had with him on #CCT and #Prevention
trump is ruining our lives.
Money's funny, travel's a mess, gas is crazy, rights are fading, patients are sicker, planes are crashing... There's nothing that has improved.
Please share and vent

.@RepRaskin to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: "Apparently when your special blanket, your blankie, was left on one of the government jets and not transported over to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fire the pilot - mid air!"
America's original sin is now tearing it apart at the seams. This legacy of racism and oppression must come to an end. #ImpeachTrumpNow #RacismHasNoPlace here
trump's name is in the Epstein files more than Jesus name is in the Bible.

We do need to abolish ICE. What was wrong with the USCIS of prior to 2003? Thuggery should not mark a federal agency.

Keith Porter Jr., 43, was killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve in Northridge.
The agent’s name remains hidden.
No interview.
No charges.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
