I think most if not all hepatologists and infectious disease doctors support universal treatment of hcv except for certain circumstances as outlined in my previous tweet, but would love everyone’s input - I will add a poll to my tweetorial!!

#EBGI_MyPractice @EBGIDoc 💡Screen all patients for Hepatitis c🦠 💡Offer 💊 to all HCV infected patients 💡💊 should not be offered to those with short life expectancy, those unable to follow up and unable to adhere to treatment

I’ve seen how mandates for pleural aspiration by US have led to delays in procedures in real time settings and the need to tap ascites probably more urgent. Theres the perfect way to do something and the pragmatic one. And pragmatism eats perfection for breakfast ..

A view on alcohol sports sponsorship from a Scottish sports leader. In summary, it's inappropriate, discourages other sponsors and the value is overstated. @vivienne7 @ScotWFootball thetimes.co.uk/article/kicki…

Only 2 days left to respond to the @scotgov consultation on restricting alcohol advertising and promotion. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Every day almost 100 people are hospitalised and 3 people die from alcohol in Scotland. It’s important to make sure your views are heard!

I've seen too many brilliant young doctors giving up on their dream to become a PHYSICIAN-SCIENTIST. It is a critical career path to translate science into medicine. ACADEMIC CENTERS should support it much more. @AASLDtweets #livertwitter @EASLedu

New paper supporting that PNPLA3 genotyping is useful in risk stratification: 🔸NAFLD (this paper). 🔸ALD. 🔸Dual (NAFLD ALD) disease. 🔸HCC risk. I think it should be included it in the assessment of chronic liver diseases. #livertwitter #medtwitter bit.ly/3YSyrKO

Lots of studies suggesting NG tubes are safe to place in the setting of varices. One study even placed tubes in freshly banded patients. Here's a slide from a talk I gave, citations at the bottom.
