US #CF patients more likely to die on the #lungtransplant waitlist compared to Canadians with CF. CF patients in Canada live 4 years longer post-tx than recipients in US. These differences explain part of the survival gap between countries. bit.ly/3rLMMZe Anne Stephenson

On June 4, 2007 a University of Michigan Transplant Team took to the skies on a Survival Flight mission to save a life. They did not return. May their lives & deeds remembered here reaffirm our commitment to cherish life, to care for the ill & injured, & to serve the common good

14 years ago today, six members of our team were returning from a transplant mission when their Survival Flight plane crashed over Lake Michigan. The memorial at our hospital honors their sacrifice and commitment to patient care. We are forever grateful. michmed.org/BvnYj

BREAKING: This morning ProPublica has what I consider the most important story we have ever published. It concerns a trove of secret IRS files we were given on the tax returns of the nation’s richest people. The findings are extraordinary. propublica.org/article/the-se…

Feeding tubes are not as benign as traditionally thought. We often think they come at no cost but there is a cost to patient & system…which is an unfortunate thing to endure if you never actually needed it. This is why many have moved away from routine feeding J-tubes #tssmn

The 500 biggest companies have spent $5.3 trillion on stock buybacks over the last decade. 84% of those proceeds went to the richest 10%, with CEOs being the biggest beneficiaries. Just FYI for the next time you hear "we can't afford to give workers raises."

Man in Alabama had cardiac issues. Should have lived. The unvaccinated were taking up all the hospital beds. 43 hospitals turned him away. He had to be sent 200 miles away. He died in transit. This is how the unvaccinated are killing the vaccinated. montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/loc…
