Honored to have my essay about my father featured in the 40th anniversary of A Piece of My Mind in JAMA. I wish he could have seen it. ja.ma/2yzNJ0D

In this @JAMA_current viewpoint, we discuss the key features of @CMSGov BALANCE model for obesity, its feasibility, and implications for patients and clinicians. @ObesitySociety @ObesityAction @WorldObesity @AmDiabetesAssn @MRothbergMD @CCLRI

In a new study of 7938 patients who initiated semaglutide or tirzepatide for obesity or diabetes and discontinued the medication within 3–12 months, we examined what additional obesity treatment patients pursue and weight changes post-discontinuation. doi.org/10.1111/dom.70660

Mission accomplished!

🚨Final Gaza fake “famine” analysis: IPC declared famine on Aug 22. Through ceasefire on Oct 10 there should have been 10,000 starvation deaths. But Hamas/UN counted 192 (most if not all with pre-existing conditions). That's 98% below famine levels. It was always a hoax. 1/

🚨 Treatment discontinuation is common in patients receiving semaglutide or tirzepatide for obesity. This is the first US study to quantify the specific reasons for discontinuation in clinical practice. doi.org/10.1002/oby.70058

Why can’t investigative journalists do this? It doesn’t require them to be on the ground in Gaza. You just have to care about the truth.

Just tried to treat a patient with #asthma. Can someone explain to me why generic Flovent costs $160? How can we have so many generic medications and none are affordable?

And Greta is a cheerleader for Palestinian nationalism that is almost entirely funded by Big Oil Qatar and Iran. They make her chug back and forth across the Mediterranean in diesel-guzzling boats.

#Intifada isn't just a word. 2001: Izz al-Masri (Hamas) murdered 17 at Sbarro Pizza, including Hemda, 2 Avraham, 4 Tamara, 8 Not only did Ahlam Tamimi famously grin about the dead children, but An-Najah University (largest in 🇵🇸), staged a popular exhibition to celebrate it.

I realize I never put my laptop on my lap. It would make more sense to call it a desktop, but I realize that name’s been taken by the machine sitting underneath my desk.

Thank you, India.

RT @JessicaBRiedl: I'm still stuck on the GOP Congress voluntarily surrendering trade and appropriating powers to the White House. This poi…

Yellow ribbons for the hostages in Gaza appeared overnight on campuses across the UK. Given how universities have been sowing seeds of extremism, this is a beautiful sight. Well done 🙌🎗️

היום חמש התצפיתניות ששבו אלינו משבי חמאס ישוחררו מבית החולים, וכבר פורסם שהן ביקשו לחזור לשרת בצבא. כן, אחרי כל מה שעברו ואחרי הגיהנום בעזה הן כבר רוצות לעלות שוב על מדים ולשרת את המדינה... זה מצטרף לאורי מגידיש התצפיתנית שחולצה משבי חמאס וכבר שבה לשרת בצבא. מאיזה חומר הן עשויות?! פשוט מעוררות השראה. כמה כוחות נפש אדירים ואיזה רוח ישראלית ואהבה למדינה... איזה אכבר גיבורות!!!
