Why even be over there still? Yes, I miss my legacy verification and thousands of followers over in the upside down but wouldn’t touch that place with a 10ft pole. It’s a mess. Twitter refugees unite!

📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL” As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

One of my favorite figures to design with JAMA Internal Medicine! Our person-centered framework to improve independence and quality of life with supplemental oxygen. #pallipulm #geripulm @pallipulm.bsky.social @angelasuen.bsky.social @atscommunity.bsky.social @ats-bshsr.bsky.social

When I testified to the US Senate a few years ago, I said a lot of this, too. AL will never expand Medicaid. Rural hospitals closing everywhere. Medicaid cuts hurt rural Rs the most. I think lawmakers count on that subgroup not voting, not being able to vote, or voting against their self interest.

Hey #ATS2025, help us spread the word on our revolutionary person-centered framework on supplemental oxygen to improve wellbeing & independence for patients & families. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... @pallipulm.bsky.social @atscommunity.bsky.social @jamainternalmed.com @angelasuen.bsky.social

Earlier today, AAAS CEO Sudip Parikh testified as a bipartisan witness before the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, warning that without immediate action, the U.S. runs the risk of losing its position as a global leader in biomedical research and innovation.

This article explores strategies to enhance care for patients using supplemental oxygen, emphasizing personalized education and equipment selection to improve patient outcomes.

Process of ordering supplemental oxygen and advising patients is very confusing. This outstanding review will teach physicians how to navigate the process and advocate for their patients. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

So excited to partner with some amazing global experts and Lancet Respiratory @billyrosaphd.bsky.social @lindellko.bsky.social

Privileged to work alongside a global team of #pallipulm experts on the next great @thelancet.bsky.social Commission on palliative care in serious respiratory illness. Can’t wait to see what this amazing team accomplishes & the worldwide impact! @pallipulm.bsky.social @donsullivan.bsky.social

Delighted 2 share @lancetrespirmed.bsky.social Commission I'm co-chairing w/@billyrosaphd.bsky.social "palliative care integration in serious respiratory illness" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40180521/ @anandiyermd.bsky.social @lindellko.bsky.social @anne-marie-russell.bsky.social & so many more experts

Doing anything science related during these times feels like we’re that dog saying, “It’s fine,” as the room around him is on fire. Come to find out his whole house is actually a dumpster fire, and that dumpster is floating away down a raging flood.

I built a clinic for people with serious 🫁 disease who little to no insurance. This week, I spent tons of time after clinic to get a Medicaid prior auth approved for 1 inhaler that has kept my patient with COPD stable. I’ll go through the gauntlet for my patients, but why do I have to?!

Putting my “Extubation Checklist” back out & into the @bsky.app ether. I have refined this MASCOTS tool over the years to help trainees identify frequently missed elements during extubation. Welcome ongoing feedback! @laxswamy.bsky.social @criticalcaretime.bsky.social @nickmark.bsky.social

Chaos and confusion are the goals, people.

My family has worked primary care in the Deep South for decades & as a pulmonologist I help historically disadvantaged populations with lung disease. Our area is the buckle of every chronic disease belt & converging racial/socioeconomic disparities & glaring gaps in healthcare access. It’s tough.

Clinically we see palliative care still not getting to all who need it & across the continuum, despite major calls to action. We demonstrated that by comparing palliative care b/w COPD, IPF, & lung cancer. Not disseminating. journal.chestnet.org/article/S001... @pallipulm.bsky.social #pallipulm

Life in academia…all facts! 🤣 Well done @mcsweeneys.net! 👏🏽 ☠️

Thank goodness!

Great conversation with Nick and Cyrus talking all things #pallipulm in the ICU. @pallipulm.bsky.social has joined the #medsky community. Appreciate the follow! Hope you enjoy the wonderful discussion and learn ways to implement #palliativecare in your ICUs for patients and their families. 🙏🏽

🎧I had the pleasure of talking with Sergio for the Critical Matters podcast. We talk about an important but overlooked aspect of how intensivists present decisions in family meetings, referencing a recent Critical Care Medicine paper (link in comments) soundphysicians.com/podcast-epis...

For years, some of us have fought back against terrible misinformation that somehow attributed Covid vaccines to a big risk of heart problems. It’s always been Covid infection, not the Covid vaccine. Yet another study revealing the truth: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/w... #medsky

Sad state of affairs. Medicaid expansion makes sense, pays for itself, is pro-business, & can save the lives of so many in rural AL where I’m from, where 64 of 67 counties are “ambulance deserts”, & hospitals have closed at alarming rates. Nah, let’s spend a billion $ on a mega prison instead. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Presenting 6 of 9 of THE Beeson 2020 class! Though we had a bumpy start, we learned so much about ourselves through this program, grew, & emerged as leaders, scientists, & friends. Love the #BeesonScholar community. Can’t wait to see what this crew accomplishes! #Beeson2024 @clinstarcc.bsky.social

Yall didn’t tell this Alabama guy there’d be white stuff falling from the sky here in Chicago at the #Beeson2024 meeting! #BeesonScholar

Say hi to @pallipulm.bsky.social, my alter ego! Please give it a warm @bsky.app welcome & help improve the care of people living with serious respiratory illnesses and their families. #pallipulm 🎉

Re-friending Twitter refugees is my new favorite thing! #MedSky

Who took our infinity stones and forgot to return them? This alternative timeline is bonkers.

This was an extremely delicate time for the Avengers, who lost half their team & disbanded for years. Leaders emerged. Who will be ours? History will look back on this critical period to see how we pick ourselves back up. I can do this all day.

Time to introduce myself here!👋 Legacy verified Twitter refuge (earned not bought). Pulmonary-critical doc, researcher, healthcare leader, & problem solver in Alabama. Creator of #pallipulm & #geripulm (ask). Love my family, pets, music, food, sports (Go Blazers!). Can’t wait to meet y’all!

Hard to give up a legacy-verified blue check & 7k followers on that other hellscape, but so worth it. Rebuilding a community here is refreshing. Where all my Twitter refugees at? 🙋🏾‍♂️

1st 🧵here. Let’s go! Social isolation and loneliness are critical issues. For people living with serious 🫁 illnesses like COPD, social isolation can have major consequences, at least that’s what our latest research in JAMA Internal Medicine shows: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
