My partner had her @WellsFargo checking and savings accounts cleaned out by scammers, including a credit card cash advance to increase the balance first. Gave NO personal or security info to anyone. Bank has told us that it is her fault and they will not refund anything (1/x)

Medicare advantage is systematically destroying one of the few functional parts of our medical system. Asking an 87 year old with CTLI to hope their angio is retro-auth’d is completely unconscionable
I’m surprised I don’t hear more pushback about the privatization of Medicare

Another damning example of gross procedural overuse in the treatment of #PAD from @propublica. These news articles call out #outliers- but this is becoming a pattern. #WeNeedToDoSomething #Appropriateness @VascularSVS @SIRspecialists @ACCinTouch

Since it’s July, I figured I’d publish this handy guide on applying clinical research to practice informed by years on Twitter

This is of course a troll, And all research needs to be critically interpreted. But some common themes definitely play out in social media discussion and clinical inertia is pretty strong
Worth pointing out I am 💯 guilty of this reflex as well

The onslaught of stories about #overtreatment of #claudication continues. Powerful @nytimes article on the cover today . . . And it really hits home. When will it stop???

I've been waiting years for someone to write an article this good about the overuse of PAD procedures and atherectomy. Thank you @katie_thomas @jbsgreenberg @gebeloffnyt

Logs back into twitter for VAM.
Feed filled with self-promotional tweets giving unsolicited medical advice to Deion Sanders about his PAD.
Goes back into deep twitter hibernation.

Good time debating my colleagues @ReidRavin @limbsalvagedr We are all winners when the patient wins.

Riveting debate on acute limb ischemia management; these excellent vascular surgeons held nothing back! @ReidRavin @Dr_Tonnessen @limbsalvagedr #VAM23 @VascularSVS who won??

My admission dear #surgeonswhocook twitter, is that I am basically incapable of making the heavenly emulsions, which so essentially define roman pastas.
That is, until I found this recipe.
amatriciana with guancale. ATK recipe.

The trick is creating a paste with the pecorino/ rendered fat of the guanciale; which makes the cheese much more heat-resistant and less likely to break the emulsion
Genius!

Greetings and salutations your eminence,
the Journal of Vascular Seismology and Vampiric Incantations (JVSVI) respectfully asks you to submit your work for peer review.
(yes I came out of retirement to tweet this)

Oh cool. You want to “engage new constituencies within vascular surgery.”
Apparently like all the community practice surgeons who have a spare $2000 lying around.
@JVascSurgCIT is already $550, a substantial sum even now. Is this over 3x better?

Attention ED providers. When working up patients with arterial occlusive disease/ischemia of the lower extremities, please stop ordering, unilateral CT angiogram of the extremity. Please order CTA of the aorta with bilateral runoff. #comprehensivevascularcare @EmergencyDocs

It’s officially the time of year where touching any metal surface in the hospital results in a static electricity discharge violent enough to stun a pygmy goat

Great talk from @aishaikh at #VEITHSymposium - So, what Dialysis Access should we place in chronic hypotensive patients? @VEITHsymposium

In the absence of evidence, industry marketing will always win. @BEST_CLI is a snapshot of the heterogenous messy way people manage CLI patients with endovascular tools, and we should all have some humility about how certain we are that our strategy is Best.

Bonus tweet: PLEASE remember @BEST_CLI was analyzed on an ITT basis, and it largely seeks to look at the optimal INITIAL management. A failed endo attempt during trial did not mean the end of the attempt at limb salvage.
Ok, I'm done for real this time.
