seems like a good time to check if any of my X friends have migrated? mastodon.social/@nickdawson

I’ve been thinking a lot about rural health and how we may have been mis-thinking it. Who’s doing really interesting, human-centered work in rural health?

I'd love to stay connected with all my Twitter / X friends. It feels like we've reached end stage social web... but if you're around and on any of these sites, I'd love it if you find me where you are nickdawson.net/social

Epic has become the operating system of modern care delivery and there’s every reason to worry about that.

Disabled math is figuring out which symptoms might kill you and which will just be a permanent inconvenience.

This feels like moving out, because it is. nickdawson.net/social I’ll keep posting this for a while. I’d rather find all you friends than ask you to find me. Is there a way to do that? (Seems not)

I really wish Apple would give special access to apps that have time sensitive health information. For me, if my dang Home Screen widget and Apple Watch complication could update up to 288 times a day to show my 5 min Dexcom value that would be so nice.

COVER REVEAL: I am thrilled to share the cover for my book, REBEL HEALTH, which will be published in Feb. 2024 by The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262048897/… #RebelHealth is a celebration and a call to action, a protest and a party -- this design captures it!

I think I’m ready to declare bankruptcy on design portfolio presentations: Keep the deck Bring your files and let’s just talk about the work

Today would have been Deborah Roseman’s birthday. I keep it on my calendar as a reminder she was here, she was a friend, & she made an amazing dent on the world. Her passion for health equity came from deep inside & was a huge inspiration for me & countless others. We miss you Deb!

KP’s strike is hugely important. It’s a reflection on how broken care delivery economics and culture are. And it’s amplified by KP’s sophistication: best care experience I’ve had, & epitome of failed culture. To be clear, I stand with KP’s nurses, workers, and providers.

“I have a client who is a 9th grader. I also have a client who was accused of smuggling for driving his uncle in a car. Most of our clients are not actually concealing or hiding people but are arrested for solely driving undocumented people in their vehicles in the border area.”

Ady Barkan was an inspiration to all of us. There are very few people in this country who have done more to make health care a human right. To honor his life, let us dedicate ourselves to completing his work.

At my yearly physical, I asked my doc if we could include ApoB in lipid panel. He asked “why? That’s genetic and can’t be changed.” 😳 I asked for HbA1C and he said “so you think you have diabetes?!” 🤦🏼‍♀️ And people wonder why it’s so hard to advocate for yourself as a patient.

Are we moving to blue sky now? bsky.app/profile/nickda…
