You may have heard the shocking headline that 250,000 people die every year in the US due to misdiagnosis in the ER.
You may be even more shocked to know that this statistic is extrapolated from the death of...
just one man.
in a Canadian ER.

Mark Cuban launched an online pharmacy providing cancer, cardiac, GI, rheum drugs at a steep discount. Leukemia drug Imatinib (Gleevec) which usually retails at $9,657 is sold at $47.
Perhaps the greatest disruption in US healthcare this decade.👏🏼

Given renewed interest in the topic, sharing a piece from August by @0moba @ndubosh @AMLandryMD.
The removal of race from the one-liner, HPI, or clinical presentation has long been discussed as a way to ⬇️ bias in medicine. Useful guideline here.
