We are not self-important. We humbly do all we can for the love of our patients; this is all for them
We are not anti-gun. We are anti-injuries, anti-gun violence, anti-bullet holes
Luck isn’t an effective #GunViolence prevention tactic
#Docs4GunSense #ThisIsOurLane
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. nraila.org/articles/20181102…

Not only does UCSF's NIH-funded research advance health care and improve patients' lives, it has an estimated $18.7B ripple effect on the economy. The result is more innovative startups, more jobs, and stronger companies that hire workers nationwide. tiny.ucsf.edu/SavingLivesWit…
While @UCLA does all it can to protect its students, faculty, and staff from a $1B attack by the federal government, I’m proud to #StandUpForUC. universityofcalifornia.quoru…
