How much did older adults use telemedicine during the COVID-19 pandemic? #Telemedicine #COVID19 @MSHSGeriPalCare acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

In this long season of loss, this is surely a triumph. My patient Jim means the world to me, so I wrote about our relationship, rooted in poetry, for The New Yorker. I’m so happy to share this with the world. For Jim. newyorker.com/science/annals…

A painful yet resonant take on the state of our profession. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

We're all connected. Your freedom not to wear a mask indoors in a public place where Covid is spreading isn't more important than someone else’s freedom to live.

NEW: CDC has reported that ~13% of #COVID19 cases in the NYC area are omicron — meaning that this variant of concern is spreading quickly in our city: covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…

🚨Well, I wrote about Omicron--what we know & what it means. I feel the core problem is unchanged: The variant poses a much greater threat at the societal level than the individual one, making it the kind of problem the US has consistently flubbed. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…
