Make it a thing! Put in your zip code and find a place near you, to remove both temptation and familiarity that breeds contemptuous fentanyl overdose. Thanks @MarkHalperin for using your powers for good! dea.gov/takebackday

10/28 is the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This Ted Talk by my pal Dr. Amy Baxter explains why oral opioids are both a deadly temptation, and not “the good stuff” for pain. ted.com/talks/amy_baxter_how…

A Buzzy for joints?! It's called @VibraCool. If 30 sec works for needle pain, imagine what 20 mins could do for knees, elbows, or foot pain. Same technology. More effective than TENS. Helps with post-surgical rehab, physical therapy, athletic training, and more.

@danaparish the reason our work isn’t getting attention may simply be cognitive dissonance. I shared our early results w/specific #CDC and admin reps. Dismissive due to delay in press, maybe, but our research group and families had a very different COVID. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs…

If we were exposed we irrigated. If we feel symptoms, we irrigate QID. No deaths, no hospitalization, no cases at all until omicron, and anxiety enormously less.
