Time to call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on another anti-vaxxer ideologue.

It’s apparently part of RFKs anti-vax plans. His anti-vax “nonprofit” posted this as news a few days prior.

It may not be official but this committee is non-partisan and should not be delayed with the intention of stacking committee with anti-vaxxers.

In these times of “alternative facts” and when ideologies and grifters have co-opted government, we need to do something.

From RFK’s Anti-Vax Org website dated a few days ago. I guess they are calling the shots?

“ASMR” on the White House post means “autonomous sensory meridian response”…a subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin".

I called all of these offices today and left messages asking the Senators to vote no on #RFKJr. I have my “script” saved so it isn’t stressful. It takes just a few minutes.

Now is the time to call your Senators and the ones below.

If you are a constituent say so and ask to have call returned.

The #CostOfPBMs…

I went to pick up a script for a *generic* medication for my family member. We’ve met our deductible so OOP price to me is $0 (until Jan.)

I asked what my employer would be charged. $1,698.99

I asked the charge with GoodRX. $38.96

A 4,360% MARKUP

We’re ready!

I donated to my local ICA Food Shelf and to the Kibuye Nutrition Project in Burundi.

My friend (& M1 foosball tournament partner!) is a family doc working in Burundi and sees first hand the importance of nutrition in healing.

I woke up after overnight shifts to a house decorated with turkeys and thankfulness.

Kid3 made me laugh.

Happy Thanksgiving! Especially to all the many folks working in the hospitals today to care for those of us in need.

Her OB/Gyn office had been working hard to justify authorization but no luck.

I prescribed to CostPlus - she can get 90 for less than she would pay at the chain pharmacy. This is the result of the captive PBM kickbacks. I can’t believe we have allowed this to continue.

There are many possible policy solutions.

But if we are serious about solving the problem, we need to measure and monitor the root cause - inpatient boarding time in the ED.

“You can’t manage what you don’t measure.”

HOW DO I GET THESE ******** TO STOP SENDING ME THIS TRASH?

(Yes, I’m yelling. I don’t know how they got my phone number but I can’t get them to stop.)

It’s not healthy. But neither is having an information ecosystem with an algorithm that is controlled by the richest man and likely, now, the most powerful private citizen. And the experience there is terrible, requiring you to sift through tons of ads and vitriolic bots to have a real discussion.

Not that kind silly goose!

Editorial comment: it doesn’t just look like it will take your finger off!

I did a presentation to my group. Based on the impacts seen in the bariatric surgery registries I think the benefits will be immense.
