A person inhaled an obscure chemical & called a poison center. Minutes later—for free—a world expert was consulted and determined it wasn’t an issue. I can’t even reach a human for my Uber Eats order—poison centers are incredible.

Physicians should care about what’s going on in pharmacy land right now. It’s bad. They should also not write “1-2 eyedrops” on scripts. 1 drop per dose is enough. 2 drops will overwhelm the tear film, resulting in wasted medication. But mostly the PBM thing.

Interesting article from @JACCPJournal. I agree that NAPLEX pass-rates needs to be critically examined & addressed by @ACPEpharmacy & #PharmEd.
However, I have some thoughts...🧵

1. In a major move, the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated SEGM and Genspect as anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups.
Members and associates recently advised on the Cass Review, and worked to ban care in the United States.

I'll do a brief thread on my thoughts, mostly because much of what is reported is not new and others have shared similar thoughts
ANNEXA-I randomized mostly sICH patients w GCS >7 w/i 15 h of last DOAC to AA vs usual care. Here is the treatment algo, from the protocol:
Oh my... The time has arrived! ANNEXA-I has been published

1. In a surprising ruling, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that trans exclusions violate Bostock and Title VII.
They also cite Biden's updated title VII guidance, the first time in a major trans ruling.

Pharmacists are the unsung heroes of health care! APhA made an infographic to show just how crucial their role is in our health care system. Let's support #pharmacists & push for new authorities that allow them to provide even more valuable patient care! ow.ly/PBjf50QY79v

I'll take this one.
The idea that affirmative action or diversity, equity & inclusion policies equal lower standards is something that a lot of people believe.
Instead of citing what "I believe" like Elon did, let's use facts & a something I like to called "math"
A thread.
Who Won? Elon Musk Debates Don Lemon Over the Impact of DEI Programs
Lemon repeatedly said, “There’s no evidence” that DEI programs are lowering medical standards, a comment @ElonMusk believes is a “false statement.”
Who is right?
Musk calls on Community Notes to settle the score.
LEMON: “There was a repost of Ben Shapiro that you claim that DEI is killing people. Specifically, you point to medicine. You claim that DEI programs are putting people at risk. Do you really believe this to be true? And what evidence do you have to support it?”
MUSK: “What I was referring to there was that if we lower the standards for doctors, if the test for a doctor is lowered, then the probability of them making a mistake and killing someone is obviously going to be higher.”
LEMON: “Wait, say that again. I’m not sure I understand what you said. I want to make sure I understand what you’re saying.”
MUSK: “Yes. If the status for passing medical exams and becoming a doctor, especially something like a surgeon, if the standards are lowered, then the probability that the surgeon will make a mistake is higher. They’re making mistakes in their exam. They may make mistakes with people — and that may result in people dying.”
LEMON: “What evidence do you have, though, that they’re lowering the standards? There is no evidence of that.”
MUSK: “I believe there is.”
LEMON: “There’s no evidence of that, Elon. What is the evidence?”
MUSK: “I believe they have literally lowered the standards at Duke University, and that is what the article was referring to. You are saying they have not lowered the standards?”
LEMON: “There’s no evidence about lowering standards. And I think that there is —”
MUSK: “I believe that is a false statement you’re making.”
LEMON: “Okay, well, we’ll figure it out.”
MUSK: “The interesting thing is, when this is posted on the X platform, there will be a whole bunch of things that rebut what you said and what I said. And so people can then make their own decision, based on the replies and the rebuttals and the community notes.”
