Let's say I thought it was time to start organizing a physicians' job action in areas of some country where elected regional officials don't vote to prevent an unjustified war. How would I go about that?

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

This afternoon, retired Army general Stanley McChrystal spoke at the retirement ceremony hosted by HRC for six trans service members who were forced out under Trump’s ban. “I shouldn’t have to be thanked for being here. First off, we shouldn’t be here. This shouldn’t be happening.” Full remarks:

I was very sad to learn of the passing of David Mitchell, a cancer patient who turned his own battle into a fight to make medicines more affordable. Here, @pharmalot.bsky.social gets at why Mitchell was so special. www.statnews.com/2026/01/05/d...

Case on point: Take Back Primary Care By William M. Tierney, MD Despite being the largest medical specialty, primary care's in crisis. There's a national shortage of 20,000+ #PrimaryCare physicians, & more leaving the field b/c adverse #Healthcare system issues. link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

With the Brown/MIT shooting, I keep thinking about @acollierastro.bsky.social 's YouTube about physics crackpots and whether this is what was going on. Worth watching in any case. www.youtube.com/watch?v=11lP...

If this turns out not to work, will you publish as long an article on how bizarre the idea is? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/w...

🧵hi, medical toxicologist and poisoning expert here let's talk about pong-pong (“the suicide tree”) from The White Lotus #whitelotus #thewhitelotus 🪷 (yes it's real, yes it's deadly, and YES I HAVE OPINIONS)

I bumped into a post from @ashleygwinter.bsky.social when I got an alert about a different post and wanted to make sure her (incredibly scary) medical stuff was improved. She doesn't seem to be on BlueSky hardly ever, and I'm rarely at the other place. However, thought I'd post this here /1

This is a great piece by Dr. Mell, and it's also really great that Retraction Watch decided to publish it. Thank you to all involved!

"I don't think anybody believes that these people would've been pardoned if they had engaged in exactly the same acts, but had stormed the Capitol, say, in opposition to the president and his policies," says Peter Keisler, former acting attorney general under Pres. Bush.

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

#MedSky Feeling irritated, yet again in 2025, that the RCT planned by Ken Mukamal was derailed in 2018. The idea that a trial that would have answered whether ETOH has CV benefits was too biased for not assessing cancer risks missed how we gain knowledge over time. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/01/h...

/1 #MedSky @adamcifu.bsky.social My sense is that Sensible Medicine isn't really on BlueSky, but I'm hoping more discussions of research move here from that other site. With that in mind, I want to comment on a couple of aspects of Dr. Mandrola's article: www.sensible-med.com/p/another-po...

Unpopular opinion: Anyone using the word "gaslight" as a verb should be required to see the 1944 movie. It would reduce misuse of the term AND they'd get to see a really great movie with Boyer, Bergman, and Cotten, so it's a win-win. (Next post, requirements for using "win-win")

From the NY Times... You know, they fly up and down the beach looking to make trouble

ICER judged this treatment as worth up to $3.9 M. It's apparently being offered for free under compassionate use if only insurance would cover the cost of the autologous transplant. icer.org/wp-content/u...

twitter.com/FLOTUS/statu... What are people objecting to about this?? (Every time I think I have a handle on things, the US culture wars just gets weirder.)

In a recent Health Affairs Forefront post, National Pharmaceutical Council put forward cherry-picked examples to argue that Medicare negotiation will harm incentives to innovate. The problem: their own examples show the opposite. Here’s our response. @dusetzinas.bsky.social @bnrome.bsky.social
