Alex was an ICU Nurse at the VA.

To choose that line of work, and to do it a VA, says everything about him and his selflessness.

What a profound and brutal loss for his family, community, patients and our country.

Every elected official should condemn this unequivocally.

Our last episode of Season 1 of the Diagnosis: The End of the EPA

Air pollution and the gutting of the Clean Air Act. For an administration that politicizes every part of health, not sure anyone wants a return to year round smog and acid rain.

With the great @anacabrera.bsky.social, we summarized important steps families can take that are impacted by the rising healthcare premiums this week

We also provide a reminder on actionable ways to protect yourself and your loved ones if you live close to a Measles outbreak

Please msg me if Qs!

Seems like when federal abdication happens on any topic, it’s California that is stepping into the breach.

Given the gutting of the EPA and its foundational responsibilities to all of us in reinforcing the clean air act, it will fall to states to emulate the progress of @governor.ca.gov

My origin story to becoming a doctor.

Thank you to @aft.org for giving me the chance and space to share it.

When the iconic @joyannreid.bsky.social is on your side, you know your doing good things.

Thank you Joy for having me on your show to discuss all the latest in health.

Grateful for your trust 🙏

Grateful to the American Academy of Interactive and Digital Arts for recognizing our efforts to provide free national public health town halls with the @aft.org and the great @rweingarten.bsky.social

Trust and impact are everything, especially now.

You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system.

Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.

I hope Congress acts asap to make this guidance ultimately unnecessary, but until then, offering some guidance and tips if you or a loved one’s care access is being impacted due to federal inaction.

Flu is widespread right now, and it is a dangerous, unpredictable virus.

Vaccination is the gold standard for protection.

However if you have flu-like symptoms, get tested immediately. Tamiflu is effective as a treatment but should be started within the first 48 hours of symptom onset.

Got my @meidastouch.com swag today!

Thank you for the trust as we ensure you and your families have truthful, clear health information.

We hear about sending “checks” to Americans but what real substance aren’t we hearing enough about for true health reform?

1. Clear plan for lowering prices for drugs and hospital care (ours are the worlds highest by far)
2. Removing deductibles for preventive care
3. Public option
December 28, 2025 at 2:24 PM
With Flu everywhere, we summarized indications of Tamiflu, the importance of early testing and early treatment.

Of course, we also emphasize that this year’s vaccine remains strongly protective against severe pneumonia.

California’s CalRx continues to find ways to ensure lower prices for critical pharmaceuticals for its people, leveraging the market power of the state.

First insulin, now naloxone. Smart and patient-centric moves by Gov Newsom and his team.

For those spending time with loved ones and friends this holiday, hug them extra close.

I just scattered my beloved mother’s ashes in the Ganges, something I wasn’t expecting just 2 months ago.

Life can change in an instant. Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them ❤️

Now that Homeland Security has access to healthcare data, many immigrants (those lawfully allowed to be present) are avoiding getting care out of fear.

This is clearly impacting the health and vitality of our diverse communities.

Kennedy and his team aren’t about “medical freedom”

Their announcements today were offensive to the concept of individual autonomy and direct, prejudiced, ideological attacks on the transgender community and childhood health.

Let’s speak in unison. It’s wrong, and it won’t stand.

I’ve seen flu have devastating impacts on the seemingly young and healthy.

It is unpredictable, constantly changing, and can be very dangerous.

It is not just a bad cold and can render any of us bedridden for days or worse.

Be vigilant, stay protected, ignore the noise.

The US EPA exists in name only. Its actions on relaxing standards on Formaldehyde showcase what little regard its leaders have for your health and your family’s health.

Formaldehyde is a potent carcinogen and must be taken seriously.

Invest in air purifiers with carbon filters.

Measles outbreaks are surging again, this time in South Carolina.

In normal times, we’d be hearing anticipatory guidance to the public on what to look out for and to encourage vaccination.

These are highly abnormal times and we are filling the void.

Social media use among adolescents has already shown clear, devastating impacts on academic performance and higher rates of suicide and depression.

Parental controls have never been enough.

As we discuss for @msnownews.bsky.social today, Australia’s leadership is bold and overdue.

Amid the cacophony of “proposals” to fix healthcare from the party in power, what actually is likely to happen and why?

We break through the noise with Secretary (Dr) David Shulkin. Hope you’ll tune in!

Episode 3 of “The Diagnosis” with @couriernewsroom.bsky.social

Telehealth is a lifeline for so many, across much of America.

So why is the Trump Administration undermining access to such a vital service?

We dive deep.
