Dear authors, reviewers, and journal editors: Please, let’s retire the term “step down.” At the very least, use a neutral alternative. If you’re reviewing an article that uses “step down,” ask the authors to change it. Better options: transitioning, converting, switching,changing

This is Andy Byron. He just lost a $500k job as CEO at Astronomer for cheating on his wife... But that's just the beginning. Here's how much an affair actually costs:
🆕️⚡️⚡️Nationwide population-based cohort study The risk of occurrence CDI for hospitalized patients using PPIs for stress ulcer prophylaxis was significantly higher than using H2RAs, with an HR of 2·49. #idxposts journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-…
That physicians pay is not substantially why your healthcare costs are so high.
Because they spent over a decade to learn. Because they made $12/hour for years (as physicians). Because they put their training ahead of many valuable life goals. Because they’re on call throughout their working years. Because they advocate for us. Because they save lives.
Abuse potential. It’s on a few states prescription monitoring program as well…
This can be used for so many things. Narcotics, doxy hyclate vs monohydrate 🤣…diabetes testing supplies… etc

I have an important announcement
"Big Pharma" makes a LOT more money from the meds you get during your ICU admission then a cheap #covid vaccine.
In an email obtained by @Globe_RI written by Lisa Abbott, senior vice president of HR and community affairs, she wrote to Lifespan employees Friday, "We moved from approximately 70% vaccinated at the beginning of August, to 98% as of this morning—no small achievement."
If I told you your chance of survival after catching COVID is 99.5%, you might think that’s pretty good. But if I gave you tickets to see your favorite NFL team play and told you out of the 70,000 people in attendance, 350 people will die suddenly and at random, would you go?
Some people need help to start living a healthier life. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Start Simple. Track food and activity. 🍔🏃 Gain knowledge and energy. 📚📈 And slowly live healthier👇
For the first time in 84 years, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier had its first all-female guard change, the U.S. Army's Old Guard announced. n.pr/2Yelr8j
What a difference a year makes
All the bending over backwards I did last year when my kids were home, to make every zoom, to meet every deadline is over now. No one is standing up for kids or working parents so when any of my kids are home quarantined or actually sick this year I will be with them. Period.
Whatever your personal views are about drug use, I would ask that you take time and consider: 1) we are in the midst of an overdose epidemic (at least 384 deaths in RI in 2020) 2) harm reduction works 3) what would you want for your family member? TY to all who championed this.
