United Airlines was at less than 70% vaccination rate for employees. 7 weeks later, after a vaccine requirement was announced, they are at more than 99%. The CEO described the mandate as a "recruiting advantage" because the company put employee safety first. @CuomoPrimeTime

I’m very pro. IMO best way to prevent errors is to automate with AI. Predicting inpatient pharmacy order interventions using provider action data academic.oup.com/jamiaopen/arti…

#NYU researchers have designed an AI-based system for ordering drugs that can flag prescription errors going just by the ordering physician’s behavior and the context in which it occurs. #MedicalError #PrescriptionDrugs ow.ly/9lBd50GolH5

#PalliTALK2021 Got some wisdom from Dr. Mackie re prognostication the other day: always give ranges as x "possible" y (e.g., days possible week). Never say x "to" y (e.g., days to weeks) because the patient will hear "two" instead of "to"

#PalliTALK2021 Just listened to The Curbsiders podcast on acute pain management. Lots of convo and props to our ASA® colleagues, but wish you'd give some love to us #PalliativeCare folks. Not to start turf wars... but we be the masters at pain... jk we the same team

#PalliTALK2021 The word "stable" or "stably sick" should not be used to describe someone who is intubated and on four pressors... it sends the wrong message to the patient's loved ones #MedTwitter

#PalliTALK2021 Learned three tools to help a patient navigate making difficult decisions: 1) Can you imagine a time... 2) Some patients may choose abc... others would rather xyz 3) What would be unacceptable to you, what do you want to avoid... #MedTwitter AAHPM

Great journal club today from Augustin Joseph, MD on Mirtazapine in Cancer-Associated Anorexia&Cachexia in double blind placebo controlled RCT. Mirtazpine no better than placebo on increase in appetite, although both did increase appetite! jpsmjournal.com/article/S0885-… RUSH Internal Medicine

When you give a lecture to trainees or med students, share mistakes you made in the past. Your success story won't stick to them. But your mistakes and lessons you learned from them, that stick to them. I have lots of them. My lecture is very popular. lol.

"Am I dying?" Patient asked me directly to my face. I'm usually uncomfortable with saying "Yes" or "No", and respond like "Your time is getting shorter..." But the other day, patient asked me this x3. I was not clear enough. 1/
