The sluggish response to the #monkeypox crisis is unacceptable. 🚨Governor Kathy Hochul & Mayor Eric Adams must each declare a State of Emergency on #monkeypox to allow them to cut through red tape & ensure adequate testing, treatment & vaccines to stop the spread. politico.com/news/2022/07/2…

I understand the desire to use eIND process, but this is acting as a barrier and preventing us from offering TPOXX for people who would likely benefit. EUA worked well for COVID vaccines. Can't we use that process here?

This is the action we need to get Monkeypox under control. health.ny.gov/press/releases…

Thank you, Carolyn B. Maloney for your advocacy! This is what NYers and the LGBTQ community need now! axios.com/2022/07/29/car…

NY City and State have taken action, but we really need federal assistance at this point...

Yes. It's time. This will give us much better access to vaccines and treatment.

Thank you @mssnytweet for recognizing that it's time to declare a Public Health Emergency to control the spread of Monkeypox. mssnyenews.org/special-announ…

Thank you. "White House declares monkeypox a public health emergency" x.com/i/events/15552…

One thing I learned during the COVID-19 pandemic was the importance of having easy access to testing. Which is why we worked to validate a test for MPXV during the outbreak this summer. Manuscript just got accepted for publication! @Sinai_Emerg_Med pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36271493/?utm_…

I'm so proud to represent the physicians of New York County. Happy Doctor's Day to all the dedicated physicians who work so hard and give so much!

Just got invited to direct a course on "Complicated Vaginal Deliveries" in Greece. Never thought I would be considered an "expert" on delivering babies as an ER doc. But necessity is the mother of innovation.

I was not a math major. But when 80% of appeals get overturned, it suggests that the process is broken. These denials are impacting patient care and need to stop! propublica.org/article/cigna-…

This is a big win for patients and physicians. Too often, "prior authorizations" just act as barriers to delay medically-necessary care and frustrate patients and doctors. #FixPriorAuth modernhealthcare.com/insurance/cign…
