Misinformation is so dangerous especially if it tries to treat type 1 diabetes without insulin #Endosky

babe wake up your surgery isn’t done yet but we can’t afford anymore anesthesia

The womeninmalefields trend is flipping the script on things said to and about women, including in MedSky, to highlight their absurdity.

If you’re eating something in a hospital and anything falls to the floor, there’s no 5-second rule… it’s gone, man

The electronic medical record was going to save us tons of time, but then someone decided to put in 7 different ways to order everything and put completely inscrutable names on them.

Remembering how the land of the free and the brave was... before Obama.

Endocrinology field starter pack! #Medsky #Endosky

Hey #Medsky and #Endosky! Medsky's Endocrinology feed now has label support! All you have to do use subscribe to @medsky.social and apply the Endocrinology or Peds Endocrinology label to get your posts sent to this feed!

The endocrinologists starter pack is here! We are small in number but mighty, like the thyroid. #Endosky #Medsky

#Medsky …

These are important medications for diabetes management as well! I have many patients who have gone from uncontrolled to controlled diabetes and some have been able to stop insulin, HTN medications, etc #EndoSky #MedSky

When insulin was first patented in 1923, the discoverers declined to put their names on it as they felt that insulin belonged to the public. 101 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of price gouging by near-monopoly private insurance corporations and their PBMs.

I think the way #MedTwitter & other profesh X hashtags reached a critical point & triggered a mass exodus to Bluesky deserves to be studied. From an outbreak epidemiology standpoint (& as a newbie ID physician) it was incredible! Reminiscent of The Rules of Contagion by @adamjkucharski.bsky.social

EndoSky! Where the endocrinologists assemble #medsky

This is bad. Very bad.

The migration of MedTwitter, along with a large cohort of science journalists, to BlueSky is striking in its scale and rapidity. In a short time, this shift has effectively transformed BlueSky into the essential hub for breaking medical news and vibrant scientific discourse.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

Any hoteliers who host conferences… Water needs to be boiling to make tea.

Lemme see if I can group a bunch of the #MedSky starter packs and put them together here, starting off with my favorites, #WomenInMedicine, put together by @drsarahem.bsky.social!

#pedsky #medsky The American Academy of Pediatrics is collecting stories from physicians about patients we have cared for with vaccine preventable diseases to help in their advocacy against RFK’s confirmation. Please share your stories to [email protected]

And, just like that, Bluesky became really active. Glad this happened. #MedSky #AHA24 #CardioSky #Hypertension #lipids #ACC #JACC #NEJM #cvPrev

It's been a rough week, but seeing #medsky blossoming here is really encouraging. Thank you.

Looking for medical professionals to follow? Just created a third (non-exhaustive) starter pack 🩺🧪 medsky Round 3 go.bsky.app/9WQtZh6 Round 1 go.bsky.app/Qg2TA9p Round 2 go.bsky.app/9ziyYqt Feel free to let me know others to add and they will be added to the third (until it maxes out at 150)

Here are three starter packs to help you connect with #womeninmedicine! I’ll continue to update so let me know if you want to be added. 🤗 #MedSky Pack 1: go.bsky.app/J1wqwu5 Pack 2: go.bsky.app/QWPZiaj Pack 3: go.bsky.app/5iN8fLP

With Mark Cuban rejoining Bluesky, just going to note that his Costplus Drugs is one of the legitimately best things to happen to health care in a while. If you have prescriptions, it's worth checking if they're cheaper there. They likely are.

Reminder for Medsky: The 🩺 no longer works. Just use the word Medsky to add to the feed, please. Also, please use ALT text on your pictures! Be descriptive. If you come across science deniers, spammers, bigots, etc., please tag me, so I can block them from the feed. Have a great day! :-)

Me everyday, for the next 4+ years:

Despite Primary Aldosteronism being the most common etiology of secondary HTN in middle-aged adults, <2% of the eligible population is ever screened! Really need to start doing more PRA & Aldo levels on our patients with poorly-controlled HTN, risk factors (see below)

How does one get added to a medsky starter pack to build community faster? Or which starter packs do you recommend I follow?

I’d rather skeet than xeet, but I’ll always miss the tweet 🥲

Looks like a good start! I’m Nadia Jamil, MD. PGY7 aka practicing endocrinologist now!
