About once a week I get a series of texts with my Twitter login code(s). I’m not trying to log in. Is this something I should report to Twitter? – at Delaware, USA

I’d say an oil price war and fear of a pandemic. This aged very well. From today.
I remain unclear why someone with so much insight markets thru unsolicited direct mail...
Celebrated #NationalHospitalistDay by leading a discussion on running ethics consults. Having seen HIB and strep pneumo meningitis, strep pneumo sepsis, and infant pertussis, when this #DoctorsSpeakUp I say #VaccinesWork and #VaccinesSaveLives (also don’t mask while well). – at Delaware, USA
Glad to see Dr. Carroll’s piece in The New York Times. Don’t believe the clever ads. The only babies that need to get (cows’) milk are baby cows. It’s a historical accident and marketing coup that we give it to young humans.

I was in the pharmacy looking for ear drops and found this. Homeopathic skin tag remover?! Water won’t make skin tags fall off... looking closer I see tea tree oil and castor oil (under their scientific names) listed as “other ingredients”

“Medical records firm Practice Fusion let opioid makers help design its software, DOJ says.” A clinical decision support pop-up encouraged prescription of opioids. This same EHR was offered for free to practices willing to see targeted ads in it. 😡 theverge.com/2020/1/31/21115…
I’m torn: should I have my alternate FaceID be me with my sunglasses on for driving, or an isolation mask for rounding? Help me Twitter! – at Delaware, USA

Very excited to be at Delaware Gun Violence Forum hearing from @DrMeghanWalls : we need to address toxic stress and social determinants of health to help decrease firearm violence.
Saw #Frozen2. Good movie! Great character growth and progression. Nice use of the theme that “water has memory.” Homeopathy is still bunk tho. – at Delaware, USA

Not surprising news. The money has a dose-response relationship and is durable across drug classes. For most docs it took less than $100 to change their prescribing patterns.
I thought our integrity would be worth more.

Our statement with other children's health groups in response to last night's ACA decision. Bottom line: we are concerned about what the future holds for the children and families who depend on the ACA's protections: aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/… #KeepKidsCovered
Passed the PHM boards! A few brain mets couldn’t slow me down.
I hope they share their thinking about setting the passing line where they did - a *lot* of people who have been working as hospitalists for years must have fallen below it. – at Delaware, USA

Today, Congress announced a bipartisan deal that will, for the first time in over 20 years, direct federal funding to @CDCgov & @NIH for gun violence prevention research. Read @AAPPres' statement on this hard-fought victory: aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/…
Glad to have completed the PHM board examination. Good luck to all my PHM colleagues sitting for the test this week! – at Wilmington Manor, DE

While it was published in a journal on head and face pain, I think it's applicable throughout professional and academic settings. Good specific recommended actions for bystanders / upstanders. Systemic, pervasive misogyny is enough to give anyone a headache.
