The @DEAHQ wants people to go through an uncessary physical to get opioid addiction treatment. I scheduled a physical to see what the fuss is about. A 🧵

What do we need people with opioid use disorder to be screened for conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and not folks with other conditions? We are we so attached to the stigmatization of addiction? wsj.com/articles/planned-cur…

Telemedicine Jeopardy: A: @DEAHQ says drug overdose is #1 cause of death for Americans age 18-45. Q: Then why throttle access to lifesaving buprenorphine by requiring an arbitrary in-person exam? #ATA23 #telemedicine #telehealth #digitalhealth #telemednow #hcldr

#DYK according to the CDC, the leading cause of death for people ages 18–45 in the US is drug poisoning & overdose? Join DEA’s efforts to remember the lives lost from fentanyl poisoning by submitting a photo of a loved one lost to fentanyl #JustKNOW dea.gov/FentanylAwareness

Moment of truth I told the doctor about @BicycleHealth And about the DEA ruling. Asked her if I was a person who had started OUD treatment and wanted a referral for continuing telemedicine care, what would she do? She basically said I'll do what my hospital tells me to do šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™‚ļø

We haven't even begun to comprehend the uphill battle people with OUD are going to face if this proposed DEA rule becomes final. This is a 180 from the OUD care patients have gotten over the last 3 years. You are better than this @POTUS @JoeBiden @HHSGov

Fantastic analysis by @Lacktman. We need to share our concerns with the administration if we have a chance of maintaining robust tele-oud access post PHE.

I have lost count of how many startups I've heard of that are working on fixing back pain. Here's the "startup" to rule them all. The reality of back pain is that no one solution works for everyone at every point in time. People need effective resources and a support system.

Please don't add sugar to a well extracted well made coffee. Get Starbucks instead and sugar away.

One of the solutions @athenahealth suggests for errors that arise in their UI due to data-integrity conflicts ... Compensate for internet speed by taking slower actions to make sure the system is registering their actions (slower clicking) ...

.. for most healthcare, you’d hop on your phone, just like we do today for 90% of personal finance or commerce (a new norm which itself may have seemed like science fiction twenty years ago) .. Key assumption in this article that likely isn't true a16z.com/2022/11/11/the-bigg…
