@seachanger it’s searchable by hashtags ie #MedMastadon
This means it takes more members putting hashtags in their posts. These are also good for your bio description. I’m finding lots of good folks and posts by searching hashtags.

Need qualified opinion.

Considering that avian flu has spread to many different Mammals, and there is currently great and warranted concern,

should I stop feeding the sparrows in the near future?

Yo #MedMstdn #medmastadon if you all have a “hospital phone” and someone (presumably a fellow HCW) calls, do you:

It’s nearly impossible to find solid info on when to get boosted and with what. If I got bivalent in September anyone have a sense of when I am ok to get a norovax booster? Is norovax still considered the right move? I have to attend a high risk work event soon (super privileged to be able to avoid such risks normally). While I will be n95 masked up, I’d love norovax to also be on my side. #covid #MedMastadon #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver

In addition to #IDMastadon and #medmastadon, #IDtwitter, and #linkedin, I have joined Post News and will be (trying) to regularly post #scicomm content there. It allows for longer formats, so I will probably be moving my literature (study) breakdowns or longer blog posts there. If interested, check out my first post:

I've been explaining to patients for years that they don't need annual lipids. Nice to have it confirmed again in this episode of my favorite podcast.

We even have some third party administrators (TPAs) that here require them of insured patients.

These are only about $20 at our office but the big hospital network here in #Maine charges over $100 for a lipid panel test. That comes out of pocket for many patients.

Carotid plaque hemorrhage in a patient with multiple episodes of amaurosis fugax. In Latin amaurosis means “dark” and fugax “ fleeting”. Had just started statin, on aspirin. #medmastadon #vascular #surgery

Question from staff: how do I know ST elevation on ECG isn’t a STEMI and instead is pericarditis?
1. Distribution of ECG changes. ST elevation across all leads in multiple arterial distributions? Probably not ACS. Unlikely to have LAD and RCA occlude simultaneously.
2. No reciprocal changes. With ACS, I expect ST depression and/or T wave inversion in leads opposite the ones with ST elevation.
3. History. Week of symptoms? Unlikely to be ACS.

I asked ChatGPT ..."How can we fix the US healthcare system to be more efficient, equitable, and value based?" and got this in return. I think the rank ordering is telling...
