This, from @HarvardHBS, is the best analysis I've seen on what happened in Italy. hbr.org/2020/03/lessons-from…

Policymakers in many parts of Europe and the United States are struggling to bring the rapidly spreading Covid-19 pandemic under control. In doing so, they are repeating many of the mistakes made in...

Today, my health system took a big step: Notified staff that they're adopting the model described here, with face masks at all times & a health check each shift for even mild ill symptoms. Effective Wednesday. Kudos to @PartnersNews @BrighamWomens @MassGeneralNews

I guess I just need some yoga to find my inner zen? Bullshit. This attitude toward physician burnout is victim blaming. “Why some physicians aren't burned out: 1-They’ve found a niche that they’re passionate about 2-They’re calm 3-They’re well-rounded” kevinmd.com/blog/2020/02/3-r…

3 reasons why some physicians aren't burned out

I can guarantee you that there are experienced colleagues around you who are not burned out and do exactly the same job as you do. Can we learn from them?

Science helps but not when it is being abused for a narrative and agenda. Sad story that should give us food for thought.

That is exactly the point I am making. Is it a particular movement imbalance or pattern that at full power is dangerous at best but leads to injury if additional perturbation etc happens. But.. who might kayak19 be?

The question is not whether fatigue DIRECTLY causes injury, but whether deterioration of movement timing and quality is implicated in subtle ways. Why does a movement an athlete has done many times suddenly cause an injury?

I am not convinced that it does after reading the literature. It’s just makes intuitively sense but maybe it is that uneven or unbalanced movement patterns that can be sustained while unfatigued play a larger role. My challenge to you: teach me!

Doubtful of the idea 💡 X ... Y RU so convinced that FATigue causes injury? What is the evidence that convinces U?

Interesting study showing almost a 5% rate of infections after ACL surgery!? Could this have something to do with additional extraarticular (ALL) surgery? Seems pretty high.

This is the staggering truth! Injury prevention is key. Surgery is probably the best way for many to stay active but we have to set realistic expectations with our young patients and their parents regarding rtp.1 ACL tear is half the problem of 2 ACL tears...

WOW ... 30% risk of contralateral ACL rupture after RTS ... the high consilience of this 2nd injury data in the ACL literature is astounding @DrKateWebster @feller_julian Thanks 🙏 for the heads up and the great 👍 work @MikeReiman !

Caution is always prudent and necessary but this article is based upon a case cohort that is not establishing causality. more hype than science. They did not establish how high the natural progression to the mentioned adverse events is in this population.

Corticosteroid injections aren't benign. Be sure to share the risk with your patients or ask about the risks if you are a patient! nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

This common therapy for joint pain may do more harm than good

The shots may speed up the progression of arthritis and hasten the need for surgery.
