Given our work on clinician-directed interventions, it was good to think about how to combine the two in scalable ways.

This is potentially good. Maybe we've peaked for this go round. (Though it's only one data point.)

Napoleon turned and removed his laurel wreath and crowned himself and then crowned the kneeling Josephine with a small crown surmounted by a cross, which he had first placed on his own head.

I've been getting strung along by Copilot saying it was working on a search for me that it would deliver "by EOD" every day for the past week.

There's decades of research showing that the "myth versus fact" format promotes a sense of controversy and actually INCREASES recall of the myths later.

The order also has a variant of the idiotic trope about "enough fentanyl to kill XX people."
That's why we dose it in MICROGRAMS, friends.

Mulling this very question over weekly. I miss what Twitter was.
I had NotebookLM summarize the discussion and give 3 action items.
Guess I'll stay/focus on BlueSky, but it's still not nearly as good as Twitter was before 2022.
Doest this seem right?
Pre-2022 Twitter > BlueSky > X

Just present the facts.

Thanks to my Co-Leads ("the Michaels") and special thanks to Dipleen Kaur and the IDSA Staff!
TL;DR: use a scoring system for GAS.

I'm surprised the number of concierge and direct primary care clinicians is not higher. It FEELS like there's a big move to concierge care.
