THREAD: There is a massive, totally legal bribery scheme driving up drug prices in America. And pharmacy benefit managers—shady middlemen you’ve probably never heard of—are right at the center.

Radical change of mobility requires new imaginaries! After counting all 12.000 votes across our platforms, the winner of the most powerful #MobilityMeme of 2023 is: 'Street Storage' by @davewalker! Share it to keep opening up eyes in your networks!
A cartoon of a living street with several items parked on the street (patio, garden shed, boxes, a wardrobe) that are all met by outrage. And than 'Your Car' as absolutely fine. A person on a bike is told that there isn't any room for a safe cycle lane.

For anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, this is stunning data.

*carving out times for meetings during hours where childcare is provided. To be clear, I'm advocating that we recognize the difficulty of multiple weekly 7am meetings for those with young children.

Forget F1: the only car race that matters now is the race to turn your car into a digital extraction machine, a high-speed inkjet printer on wheels, stealing your private data as it picks your pocket. 1/
The interior of a luxury car. There is a dagger protruding from the steering wheel. The entertainment console has been replaced by the text 'You wouldn't download a car,' in MPAA scare-ad font. Outside of the windscreen looms the Matrix waterfall effect. Visible in the rear- and side-view mirror is the driver: the figure from Munch's 'Scream.' The screen behind the steering-wheel has been replaced by the menacing red eye of HAL9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.'

Today I think our view of the gut microbiome has been as wishful as those who looked at the sky, and thought that the Sun was going around Earth. When multiple hypotheses can explain the same data, will humans always choose the exciting over the simple? We're such romantics :)

For decades now, we have spent trillions to retrofit our cities, our public spaces and our society to cater for cars. It just hasn't worked. If only we had an alternative. If only... 🚲 (London by@PeterStuart3)

Influential #IMPhysician of the Month: Joseph B. Kirsner, M.D., Ph.D. (1909-2012). Dr. Kirsner’s ground-breaking work led to a better understanding of #InflammatoryBowelDisease. He was among the first to recognize the increased risk of #ColonCancer in patients with #IBD. #IMProud

Lee Mazurek had been on medication to keep his chronic disease at bay for nine years when a @Cigna employee flagged his case for review. The company estimated it could save $98,000+ if he switched parts of his treatment plan. Then came the denial. 🧵👇👇

The first scene of the 1978 Mad Max includes this highway sign to illustrate the cartoonishly dangerous and violent nature of its dystopian world. 57 deaths! In modern America the Mad Max death highway would come in 4th place behind three real life highways
