I really enjoyed Pride weekend in Denver this year. So festive and so many people. Gives me hope! ❤️🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

It was HOT yesterday, but my family and I wanted to be counted among those taking a stand against authoritarianism in the USA. We were present. This is what democracy looks like. #NoKingsDay Denver

It was so special to share the podium with Eric Borstein in Medicine Grand Rounds at @nationaljewish.org yesterday and enjoy a great time with our team the night before.

Having a great time and learning a ton at the @nationaljewish.org CV Symposium: Improving Cardiovascular Outcomes: The Next Era of Prevention. AND I got to see Dr. @erinmichos.bsky.social and ask her all my pressing cardiology questions. 🫀❤️👊

I hope to see you at our No Kings Day event in Denver on June 14! Join our nationwide day of defiance to reject Trump’s tyranny and ruin his self-serving birthday parade. app.sosha.ai/s/KR48P0AS

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Thankful for a Happy Easter with my family yesterday. Couldn’t help but think: Imagine if all of us who celebrate this holiday truly reflected and embraced these words. If we truly embraced compassion and radical love for our fellow humans, well, we would be living in a very different world.

I have been thinking about this a lot too.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

If you’re pro-cycling curious, and want to know what’s the big deal for the rest of the year, “Holy Week” is about to start: -Saturday is the Women’s Ronde von Vlandren (tour of Flanders) - Sunday is the Men’s Ronde And next weekend is - Paris-Roubaix Femmes on Sat, and - Paris-Roubaix Homme Sunday

hi. I know the urge to doomscroll is incredibly strong right now because it helps distract from the crushing uncertainty and nonstop horrific news about the federal government and the economy, but you need to go to sleep and get enough rest for tomorrow. ♥️

Oh, and I did a thing. I started a Substack. open.substack.com/pub/patricia...

I have been off the social media channels for a good bit. My silence does not mean I am complicit in what is happening. It was just because I have been working to recover. Heck of a world to come back to from a TBI…

Ooooh well played.

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

DEI doesn’t mean hiring unqualified people—it means tearing down rigged systems that kept qualified talent out. Giving everyone a fair shot, breaking down barriers that have historically excluded talent. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, drives innovation, and reflects the world being served.

Thank you for speaking truth to power through love, Rev Mariann Edgar Budde. The kind, just people of this world see you and appreciate you.

Important webinar‼️ This maybe the hardest moment in the history of the American Thoracic Society, all other medical society. This administration seems to hold positions against everything we are committed to. Kudos @atscommunity.bsky.social @irinapetrache.bsky.social for organizing.

Hi. Are you doomscrolling? A lot of news happened today, and the wildfire in Los Angeles is significant in scope and damage. It's understandable if you're worried. But staring at your phone for hours won't make you feel better. You still deserve time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late.

Love this poster! #medsky

I had such a blast running the #ColderBoulder 5K with my dad this morning. We ran a good, steady race today and the weather and course were great. Proud to run in the colors for @teamphhope.bsky.social (My dad is wearing our original t-shirt!) #LetMeBeYourLungs

Also super proud of our Denver representation at PHenomenal Hope 2024 in Boston! Proud of Darlene Kim, Jordin Rice, and Sue Gu! Go “Team 5280!” #MedSky @teamphhope.bsky.social

Huge congratulations to our Team PHenomenal Hope members who made a successful year 2 for our #PHenomenalHope2024 Medical Symposium. There was so much work behind the scenes to make this happen. Thank you to all who participated in this meeting to make it GREAT. Huge kudos to @leslieoh.bsky.social

Okay so @nejm.org has entered the BlueSky!!!! #MedSky is growing so fast now!

“I believe in believe.” Over the past few weeks I started rewatching #TedLasso. For many of us, its beauty and humor and poignant episodes helped get us through a really challenging time during the pandemic. And now as much as ever, its messages of love & acceptance I think resonate just as well.

A story about how health care should be: When I was a third year resident (2000) @ Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii, I admitted the same child twice over the course of a month for angioedema of the face & throat. 1/n
