My mom is under the care of an exceptional cardiologist. We received this note last week. More talented physicians will escape the current restrictive environment to pursue a direct-to-patient model. Some policymakers will try to ban physicians from doing so, similar to the ACA’s

Interesting assessment of the NYC mayoral candidate. To “cut down the elites” in NYC from the left he will have to go after both income and wealth. Combine that with the current administration’s reduction of govt funding of elites and NYC may have chaos wsj.com/politics/elect…

Similar to subscribing to the Post Dispatch, the cost of going to a Cardinals game now exceeds the perceived value of the experience in return for the money and time spent, with many alternative options vying for the same money and time

Wow. It would be fascinating to hear the inside story of the development of the AI system

Today’s assault on physician practices comes from Cigna Cigna will now be able to reduce your E/M code down one level when you code Level 4 or Level 5 new and follow up patient appointments. If they find that you aren’t coding correctly, they reserve the right to kick you out

Most patients CAN stop eculizumab/ravulizumab treatment safely! The Stopping Eculizumab Treatment Safely trial results have been published in the Lancet bit.ly/40XJvtI . Neil Sheerin led the study. The National aHUS Service will discuss individually with patients.

I can’t imagine this going well. There is already a too cozy relationship between employers and the people who market 401K/403b plans to their employees (eg high fees, administrative costs) with no one looking out for the employees’ interests wsj.com/finance/invest…

If you've never been on one of these, you dont realize how brave this dude is

I'll personally pledge $300 for Peter to livestream himself walking the following route, unarmed, after 9 PM on any weekend night

Thanks for making the effort to do this! It was a pleasure to be involved (with my two IU colleagues, Dr Nupur Gupta and Dr Hannah Webb). I do miss the days of the well-curated textbook in medicine

I like the Ryder Cup uniforms because they capture the Long Island aesthetic of being wildly expensive yet looking like they came off the TJ Maxx clearance rack

We mourn the loss of Dr. Stuart Kornfeld - an incredible teacher & mentor. He was an outstanding role model & leader, fostering research training, mentorship & scientific success for generations of trainees. Dr. Kornfeld was known for providing lifelong support to his trainees.
