If big pharma sold to big 3 distributors at net prices rather than list prices, patients would save on average 40pct on their specialty and brand medications. This isn't hard. @BernieSanders @HawleyMO @SenTedCruz @SenateGOP @SenWarren @AOC xitter.cf/i/grok/share/aac508973…

Patients in no-insurance or deductible phases would save roughly 40% on average (with a range of ~25–50% depending on the specific drug), paying about 60% of what they do today under this transparent, PBM-free model.

This is where we are. We have an actor, Mel Gibson, and a podcaster, @joerogan, making claims about Ivermectin curing Stage 4 ancer. The minute you ask for evidence, it's a problem. Please cite the study that shows Ivermectin effectively treats stage 4 cancer. NOT IN VITRO STUDIES OR ANIMAL MODELS. IN A LIVING CANCER PATIENT!!! Im going to get every excuse in the world, but no evidence...

Less than 3% of Americans meet the daily recommended fiber intake, despite research suggesting high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, can affect the progression of coronary heart disease. bit.ly/3wzqUCp

GI is🥇w/o enough spots for all 🌟applicants. I know many initially unmatched success stories. What to do: 🔹🗣️ w/ mentors about what happened & strengthen yourself strategically 🔹Reflect: Work to build a unique skill set that will ultimately help you help your patients
Babu P. Mohan@BabuPMohan25 Dec 2024
#fellowshipmatch2025 relieved to hear GI match results. For those who did not match, myself unmatched in medicine for 6 years, I know how it feels. start planning early & restructure ur strategy. Match results do not define success or failure. #gitwitter @TheNRMP @AmerGastroAssn
