Today, I'm taking executive action to launch the American Climate Corps – a workforce initiative that will train over 20,000 young people for good-paying jobs in the clean energy and climate resilience economy.

Coco Gauff says playing tennis is not real pressure compared to people who are struggling to feed their families:
“I think it's just putting my life into perspective.. I realize in a way it's pressure, but it's not. There are people struggling to feed their families. There are people who don’t know where their next meal is gonna come from, people who have to pay their bills. That's real pressure, that's real hardship, that's real life.”
Great perspective from Coco. ❤️

When my dad first opened his clinic in Miami over 30 years ago, he managed his patients, the staff and all the business operations. Over the years, we realized to succeed to significant levels in healthcare, you need a team.

Back Dat Azz Up on the TinyDesk is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard in my life and y’all are WELCOME 😭🔥🔥🔥
After 7 yrs in downtown Boston I am in the process of moving my practice to one closer to my home and family life.
The most unexpected and moving thing I am hearing from my patients is them calling me their friend.
This job is hard. But man, it is an honor. #PrimaryCare

Hey Rattpack! As you may have heard me say a ton, therapy really changed my life. I try to be as open as possible about my progress with mental health. And I think it’s super important to destigmatize these conversations. Stigma aside, another major hurdle for many is cost and access. This is why I’m excited to partner with Betterhelp to give a month of free therapy to any one of my fans who want it. No long term commitments here. If you like your therapist, amazing. If you don’t then you can switch as many times as you like. If you’d like to try go to betterhelp.com/logic to get started. Always remember to take care of yourself! Love yall <3 #Partnership

Whales have a ton of cells but don't get a ton of cancers.
In preprint, whale fibroblasts are particularly efficient at DNA repair & maintaining genomic stability attributed to increased CIRBP & RPA2 expression. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @biorxivpreprint

Comment with a medical term that would make a nice name if it wasn't a medical term. I'll start:

ALT To our nurses, caring is more than a job. It's a calling. A drive and a passion that come from within. These are people made up of equal parts energy and empathy. Selfless. Tireless. Endlessly dedicated to improving the lives of others. And all the while, they make it look easy. We would not be the healthcare leader we are without you. For all you do, every day, we thank you.

Chatbot vs physicians responding to patient questions on Reddit’s r/AskDocs.
Chatbot rated 10-fold *more* empathetic than the physicians!

My patient and I had a good laugh at how comically useless this letter was.
1. It was mailed to her…
2. Refers to the prescription as ‘5957783552’. uhhh ok
3. Casually throws me in under the bus then
4. Ends w/a useless approach on how to actually remedy the problem

The best policy making is dynamic & adapts to changing conditions, evidence & context. Time to replace disruptive isolation policies with stay home when sick.

Tune in next week, when we prove geriatric assessments can’t be done in a 20 minute appointment!! #MedTwitter
In this week’s episode of Proving-Water-is-Wet! 🤩 Turns out Pre-Op visits are in fact useless for all parties involved🥳 #medtwitter #duhh jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Who is regulating the AI algorithms used by payers and their “medical directors”to make these calls? @CMSGov @SecBecerra #medtwitter
Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.
