This is sickening
“Today’s shameful ruling is simply one more reminder that the American people cannot rely on their government or their courts to protect them,” Teamsters president Sean O’Brian said in a statement. trib.al/k7NTk2M

Confronting the greed of capitalism is really the heart of organizing healthcare labor

Excellent and timely writeup.
From predatory Medicare Advantage programs to unscrupulous hospitals feigning struggle while storing excess profits in banks and executive salaries, all while patients and taxpayers bear the cost of this excessive greed.

I absolutely support NYSNA’s demand for measures for better patient safety.

“Irony” - today walking past this publicity campaign in the hospital lobby while the reality is day 2 of the nursing strike whose main focus is patient safety with better nursing staffing ratios (macarena blasting and so much spirit despite the freezing cold outside)

By letting people use drugs on site and under the supervision of social and medical workers, rather than alone, a project in Rhode Island is hoping to curb overdose deaths and infectious diseases. nyti.ms/3rLcgb4

Trying to start my patient on buprenorphine… CVS just required me to CANCEL their abilify (long-standing home med) because of a medication “interaction” in order to dispense the buprenorphine… @cvspharmacy I hope you know this doesn’t make any sense who do I complain to! 🤯

Appears that a major indicator of success on the SAMSHA grant is # of referrals to support services and # of linkages to support services. 🧵

Just realized there is a 155-page Budget Narrative Template Guide for the SAMHSA #harmreduction grant. If you are feeling particularly depressed and beaten down by this process, you're not alone. We are too. 🧵

I’m so incredibly proud to have been a part of this.
This week we'll be highlighting our unique clinical training sites.
Day 1: The Montefiore Buprenorphine Treatment Network, which has served as a national model for the integration of buprenorphine treatment of opioid use disorder into primary care for over 15 years.

Anyone with stories of poor patient outcomes when pharmacies over-ride doc’s clinical judgement and restrict opioids? Have heard a few reports from providers who have prescribed to @capsulecares specifically. @adfoxMD @DrKristineTL @TiffanyLuMD @DrChinazo

The opening of officially supported overdose prevention centers in the US is a big deal! So grateful for the leadership of @samrivera1111 @NYHarmReduction @cornerproject and @DrChinazo. Very proud to work with such amazing advocates for people who use drugs.
