What is your experience?

Great advice from the @asmbs social media guru.
#Follow others if you want to be heard. Open your ears to the song of their written voice. There is a lesson to be learned from everyone - #twitter - Dont preach to the choir when you can scream from the rooftops! #meded #some4surgery #twittermed #medtwitter

A great slide, presented at #ow2018 by myself in our #some and technology session. #followersmatter When concerning the distribution of #medicalinformation - tracing 2200 followers will illicit the attention of decision-makers and become #influencers themselves #some4surgery
Scientists with >1000 Twitter followers reach a broader audience, including educational organizations, media, the general public and desition makers. #SoMe4Surgery bit.ly/2qTDqx4

‘Patients with class I obesity who are not able to achieve adequate weight loss after a reasonable period of nonsurgical therapy should be considered for bariatric surgery.’ Should there really be a BMI cut-off for effective treatment of DM2? @ObesityAction @asmbs
