Words cannot describe how profoundly sad I am to share the news of Dr. Shekinah Elmore's death this week. Shekinah was a SPECTACULAR human with profound wisdom, an incredible generosity of spirit, & a heart of kindness that lifted us all up. gofundme.com/f/honoring-dr-…

I have fond memories of hundreds of students, but Shekinah Elmore was, as noted below, a spectacular woman and doctor. Unforgettable. Even when very ill, she communicated through a blog that was richly detailed, funny, poignant, & honest. This fund supports her husband and son.

ERAS pricing is not some innate property of the universe that lies beyond the control of the AAMC. You don’t need preference signaling to change pricing. At any point as revenue grew, the AAMC could have simply decided to charge applicants less. They never did.

Lifetime limits: Insurance companies in America used to have lifetime limits for how much healthcare they would cover. If your care needs hit the limit, they would stop paying for it. Forever. The Affordable Care Act ended this.

I can answer Markwayne Mullin's question about why the US has a higher rate of autism. The United States does a great job screening for autism than other countries. We've actually closed the gap in diagnosing autism with Black and Latino kids. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question. #FOAMed #meded

21/ This shift could effectively privatize the program, as individuals often remain with their initial plan. Critics argue that this move might increase costs for beneficiaries & compromise the program's financial health. project2025.org
