🚨New article: Osteoporosis is important health issue but reviews of tx often fail to distinguish primary and secondary prevention of fx. Primary prevention data is weak, vertebral fx benefit unclear. Carefully consider before rx. #osteoporosis @amjmed doi.org/10.1016/j.amjmed.202…

Your #MayDay reminder: the Bible says nothing about abortion but relentlessly condemns wage theft.
I love spending time on the phone with insurance companies - please insurance company, may I please practice medicine?
Potentially a large number of South Carolinians may lose Medicaid. @AppleseedSC hosting a webinar this Friday 3/31 for clinicians to learn more and how to advise patients. DM me for details.

Rey Chow's analysis of China-US relations seems esp poignant now. We exchange professed morals (data privacy in case of Tik Tok) for profit. In this case, even more transparently hypocritical given Patriot Act history.
Rey Chow's idea that religious salvation ideals are vital to capitalism also has new meaning in healthcare as it becomes increasingly commidified ... Universal ideals are co-opted to sustain inequities. E.g. work reqs in Medicaid. Or even Medicaid itself.
Big moves in policy on HBV and HCV unlikely to have much effect until we aggressively deal with IVDU and/or lower barriers to testing. More primary care mandates are not going to be effective given many patients living with HBV/ HCV are disconnected from care.

Med debt is a public health crisis. We contributed to research that shows nonprofit hospitals like Prisma and MUSC are failing their communities by making charity care burdensome to obtain and narrow in scope. I agree with the call for federal action! npr.org/sections/health-shot…
In our recent paper, we also showed these policies are often changing and not improving based on Medicaid expansion or mergers. In fact, the largest merger in our sample caused significant charity care loss for ppl in those communities (Common Spirit Hospitals)

Historic districts make up some of our highest value areas where people love to visit and long to live, yet we’ve made building this style of development illegal almost everywhere in North America.
AMA framing of health systems science perhaps an example of elite capture? Seems to miss the boat completely on fundamental aspects of social stratification, structural violence, CDOH, etc. Seems designed to create happy hospital citizens
Trying to read Rey Chow's The Protestant Ethnic and the Spirit of Capitalism and having to put my book down to think after first few pages... Belief in repression generates liberation, whew... Gotta ponder that

People hate the idea of car-free cities, until they live in one. Car-centric city design is so tightly interwoven with how many of us live, that the idea of living without a car is unimaginable. But anyone who tries it, in the right conditions, loves it.
