My interview w/ Seema Verma of @OracleHealth. The former administrator of CMS left no doubt that she agreed with her colleague Ken Glueck that "Epic CEO Judy Faulkner was the single biggest obstacle to EHR interoperability." modernhealthcare.com/digital…

Screw it. Let's make a list of all the voters who have said they voted for Bill Belichick. Shouldn't be hard to narrow this down. docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

This is the natural result of decades of underfunding education and refusing to combat misinformation.

I honestly hate what ESPN has become. Just complete slop for the lowest common denominator.

UPDATE: Oracle still hasn’t acknowledged the mass layoffs. Employees are tracking the carnage by watching Slack accounts vanish. •Roughly 3,400 gone already from slack channel reports- insiders say closer to a 10% RIF, company-wide. •Cuts span entry SDRs to SVPs with 10 years tenure. •Directors terminated without their teams even told. •Oracle Health (Cerner, $28B deal) cleaned out: Care Delivery, Consulting, and more. •Entire ACS NetSuite groups in the Philippines erased via “Business Update” invites being reported. •In Washington state, Oracle filed a WARN notice for 101 layoffs - on top of 161 in August. Oracle’s “quiet” layoffs are anything but.

Someone please kill me right now.

I cannot believe they did this. I pay $23 a month for this publication. You can't give us an eight question puzzle for free? Wordle is next.

Where we're at: —HHS says it's ousted the CDC director —CDC director says she's not been fired and isn't leaving —In meantime, at least four senior officials have resigned —This is all happening only a month after RFK's "handpicked"-now-ousted (maybe?) CDC director was confirmed

🙄

It is appalling how little coverage the shootings at the CDC received. A government agency was attacked with over 180 rounds of gunfire and David Rose, a responding police officer, was killed in the line of duty. Vaccine disinformation and hostility against science have escalated to deadly violence — a threat not just to institutions, but to all of us. Dr. @celinegounder's reflections are essential reading for anyone concerned about the consequences of disinformation and the silence that often follows these tragedies: nytimes.com/2025/08/11/opini…

Is there anything more repulsive than falsely blaming parents for their kids autism Truly disgusting from @joerogan and @JillianMichaels

Lebron could never.

The bodies aren't even cold yet and this guy is comparing it to friggin' football? Once upon a time these kind of comments would stick with someone for the rest of their career.

New this AM: @Samsung bought @xealthinc . For Samsung, adding Xealth will help connect its wearables and remote devices with clinical data from hospitals. I got a chance to speak with Mike McSherry about the deal. modernhealthcare.com/health-…

Now all that's left if for Trump to sign the Medicaid-tax-cuts bill, but you probably want to understand what is in it for healthcare. modernhealthcare.com/politic…

Figure out how to say what your company does in one sentence and have every marketing/PR professional memorize it.

Don’t listen to the New York Times. Seriously.

A deal where the company is valued at $10B does NOT mean the company was bought for $10B. Way too many people are making this mistake.
