Amazing. UHC shareholders are suing because after the CEO shooting, the company was “no longer willing” to use “aggressive, anti-consumer tactics” to generate the profits they were promised.

A gift from the content gods.

I get so stressed out when I post a new video, wondering if it will be effective or a huge flop. I hope this one is as helpful as I pray it will be 🙏

Great data presented in this study of >23k patients with AF from 2007-2021 regarding AAD use after ablation (46% after 1st), redos after index ablation (16%), RR of repeat ablation with various risk fx's (lsps AF vs pAF 2.26, AAD use 1.42, etc). Worth a read for #EPeeps

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.
