Very much in line with what i'm seeing on physician shortages with a few caveats...but the overarching theme is subspecialty access will continue to be a challenge.

"The choice being made now to disassemble the U.S. vaccine enterprise risks foreclosing entire avenues of research and development that we may later wish we had preserved."
'later' may be sooner than we think...

If we're going to talk about the role health insurers play in the cost of health care, we should be talking more about Medicare Advantage than the ACA.

"models are designed to prioritize being helpful over medical accuracy—and to always supply an answer, especially one that the user is likely to respond to."
A nice summary of the implications of ChatGPT Health @TIME – with a focus on whether you should trust @OpenAI with your health data.

+1 as faculty member and grad
Here's the thing: ppl like to look for courses named 'nutrition' or 'pain control' when the vast majority of med ed happens at the bedside on rotations named 'surgery', 'cardiology', 'internal medicine', etc.
Nutrition has been part of the official curriculum at @GWSMHS for years.

During the winter of 1996, while recording Coil, Toad recorded a darker version of The Beatles 'Hey Bulldog.' It was supposed to be a bonus or outtake for the album, but never made the final cut. Instead, it was used in the soundtrack for 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' becoming one of The Beatles few covers on a major 90s horror soundtrack.
This is one of the rare times Toad has played it live (circa 1997)
