I knew he’d have a big game the second I saw this

How does adding 5 codes for diabetes make patients healthier? @aafp.org HCC/RAF mining by MA plans has got to go.

It's 4/2/26, & none of our Medicare Advantage plans can tell me when/how much we'll be paid for our 2025 quality work. This insane model & financial uncertainty due to VBC are one more step toward destroying small independent practices. @aafp.org

The Trump Administration abruptly canceling – then reinstating – federal funding for health programs is creating chaos in state and local public health programs,

Registration is LIVE for this year's @wser medical conference. Our speaker schedule is absolutely incredible!!! Come join us in Auburn, CA, on Friday and then run on the historic WSER trails Memorial Day weekend!

Watch Director Bhattacharya's performance at CPAC really got to me. I chose to share some of my observations with him. Hold on... 1/11

Incredible story and beautifully written. I'm on an airplane crying thinking about what his family has been through lately. We'll all be pulling extra hard for Ernest.

March 18th and I've already jumped into Donner Lake for the first time this year!

Woke up this morning and realized that I'm statistically too old to refer to any crisis I'm having as a "midlife crisis." Maybe a "5/8th's" crisis now?

No, you don't have to be a social media influencer to make an impact. But trusted voices in health care may be needed now more than ever. Hear more from Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell in our latest episode of the Leading Edge: https://bit.ly/3P3hlKD

Somewhere, the Italian Al Michaels is yelling "Credi nei miracoli?!?!?!"

Could RFK Jr's Testosterone supplementation be why he's needing shoulder surgery? journals.lww.com/jaaos/abstra...

As a family doc, I've had so many people asking me to write notes for their new bikes/exercise equipment for their HSA/FSAs. Seems like a new tuba should also be justified, as it helps my mental health

I did it for you. The CEO of @bcbsm.bsky.social took home $13.9 million in 2024 They cut the pay for the new CEO in 2025 who got $6.9 million. The only @umich.edu employee who got anywhere close to that was our basketball coach who made $4.6 million in 2025.

1/ What’s the price of a 1% drop in MMR vaccination rates? According to a new report by the Common Health Coalition, it’s 17,000+ measles cases, 4,000 hospitalizations, 36 preventable deaths… and a $1.5 billion annual price tag.

It is good to have a primary care provider, Dialysis edition, from Ann Arbor in JNO jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Great read. I'm so discourage by what Trump/RFK Jr and MAHA are doing to vaccines in the USA. It must be devastating to be 93 years old and seeing this team of grifters destroy the important work Dr. Ploktin has done to save lives in our country.

Word fail. Exceptional investigative reporting by @nytimes.com #Health #Healthcare #PublicHealth www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

I'd say "failure" is the wrong word. "Intentional destruction" is more apt.

This week's cover @thelancet.com

How about asking Casey Means "Do you have an active medical license in any state?"

Loved this article. A really good reflection of what issues patients want to have continuity with the clinicians they know and trust.

Between Means and Attia, does Stanford med school have a special track for students who don't want to complete residency but just want to go on to be social media influencers?

who has the gold medal hair for a Craft athlete?Tim Tollefson or Johannes Høsflot Klæbo

Reading this story about Lindsay Vonn and Dr. Tom Hackett doing a fasciotomy on her. If this happens during the LA Olympics, would a US hospital allow an Italian surgeon to operate on an Italian athlete?

Are other clinicians having patients ask them for letters for FSA expenses for things like....really, really nice (and expensive) road bikes? #medbluesky

I quote this all the time

Imagine a runner winning everything from the 1500 M to the marathon. Legendary. www.espn.com/olympics/sto...

There’s a pizza oven and a Traeger under there somewhere

This is the world that RFK Jr dreamed of & he can make his dreams come true each & every day cuz he runs the US health system & let's not forget that his extreme anti-vaxx animus & conspiracy theories are also affecting vaccination globally such as through him defunding Gavi the Vaccine Alliance

Not at all ok! Thank you my friends! @mlipsitt.bsky.social @abbarsha.bsky.social @alisonwhite3.bsky.social @princess-vimentin.bsky.social @atoth99.bsky.social @allie-froglegs.bsky.social @merlinmm.bsky.social @ltwlauren.bsky.social @oneveteransoath.bsky.social @seizeday.bsky.social

And living in Reno, I really want to fed ex myself a Honeybaked ham right now! USA

This is so frustrating to read. It's clear that RFK Jr and his band of grifters at groups like Children's Health Defense are doing a better job of messaging to parents like this. I'm running out of ideas to combat this.

CSI Aviation is ICE's top contractor. Its CEO and his family contributed $460,000 to Trump’s 2024 campaign. Since Trump's inauguration, CSI Aviation has seen its revenues rise by 238% compared to the year before, from $363.9 million to $1.23 billion.

8 dead and one remains missing. My heart goes out to everyone involved with the Castle Peak Avalanche. Our region is so beautiful, but things can turn so quickly. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

It is genuinely astounding how quickly he dismantled the US public health agencies, aided & abetted of course by Drs Bhattacharya, Kulldorff, Høeg, Makary, Oz, & Prasad 😢

This study explored why family physicians in Ontario are leaving comprehensive care and what policy changes could help retain them. The study identified financial strain, heavy administrative burdens, rising costs, and limited support as key reasons for leaving. www.annfammed.org/content/24/1...

@Optumterminated its contract with my office. More than 100 senior patients we have cared for now have to find a new doctor. The Optum medical director is also the President of the Nevada Physician Wellness Coalition (a group I helped found). This is my letter to their board

I've seen HRC's video entirely too many times. Fuck right off with that soft fashism. Immigrants are good. Borders are arbitrary. No person is ever illegal. #noborders #nopersonisillegal

Dr. Oz invited Epstein to his home for a Valentine’s Party in 2016, 8 years after Epstein was registered as a sex offender for attemtpting to procure a child. Epstein’s sex offender status was no impediment to his social return and acceptance by the extremely wealthy members of this administration

Need a bronze medal to hang on this today

Always my favorite as a family doc: "Well we didn't want to bother the specialist with getting the prior auth so we thought you could prescribe their meds" 😜

One Boston Children’s Hospital researcher said, “This is like asking, how do you think dropping an atomic bomb on New York City will affect the future of Broadway musicals? This is a generational loss of innovation, technology, and economic power.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/09/m...

Holy shit—a terrible waste of $$ Bhattacharya is so kooky “If lots of people believe it & it’s moving public health, we as NIH have an obligation, again, to treat it seriously,” Bhattacharya said at a MAHA event Great reporting by @rachanadpradhan.bsky.social kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Even watching virtually is killing me. (and personally I'd run a bubble screen)

Not your typical post-race interview apnews.com/article/biat...

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Our country has become so cruel

Well Optum just terminated their contract with our office for undisclosed business reasons. Our office will move foward but we're really going to miss some of our patients who we've been seeing for 15-20 years and are stuck with a company that puts profits over care
