🚨NEWS: This week, my legislation, the "Improving Seniors' Timely Access to Care Act," reached 290 co-sponsors in the U.S. House -- an overwhelming bipartisan supermajority. This legislation puts patient care and patient outcomes first, and it will greatly modernize and streamline the prior authorization process. Learn more⬇️ kelly.house.gov/media/press-…

Because of contracts with external entities, I am required to do mandatory annual education for 3 different groups. Please sit & imagine doing 3 different (but same) educational modules on phishing. Send help…preferably in the form of alcohol. They wonder why we get burned out.

Med schools are moving away from comparative grades. The debate rages on, and there are thoughtful arguments on both sides. Fine. My humble request: Consistency among schools. There are hundreds of different scales and rules. Just pick one system and make every school use it.

Me (woken up on call out of REM sleep): We should probably hypercoagulate them if there’s a clot in the vein. Resident: Yes, I will work with ICU to get that started. Me: Better yet, let’s anticoagulate them. In full transparency, you should probably never hypercoagulate someone.

The clothes made it. I made it and I’m excited to chip away at the burdens that make our jobs harder. Let’s do this!

In the past 8 years, I have spent about 20% of my time in this room… I did the math. I’ve worried about very sick children here. I’ve made plans to treat them here. I’ve done some great advocacy work here. I’m just moving down the hall, but this space will always be special.

The AAN has recently provided policymakers with written comments on topics such as step therapy requirements, opposition to the Ensuring Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act, and the DEA’s special registration for telemedicine. hubs.la/Q03Dck9J0 #AANadvocacy

Someone replicate this in pediatrics, stat.
neurology.org/doi/10.1212/CP… Vitals checks at night for stable ward-level patients rarely change management (NNT 1,856) but cause patient suffering and significantly contribute to delirium. We should strongly consider spacing these out or foregoing them entirely on select patients.

As this month draws to a close, I wanted to circle back on importance of #AANAdvocacy 👉 a thread: These past few months have been challenging for many reasons – and impacted us all. Whether you are a researcher, an educator, or a clinician – we’ve all felt the strong headwinds.
