1⃣/9⃣ #COVID19 lockdowns disrupted normal life, including access to healthcare. We conducted 3⃣studies📰 on chiropractic #patients in Spain 🇪🇸 who were isolated & couldn't receive their usual care 👩⚕️.
🌟Here's what we found…👇👀

2⃣/9⃣ We gathered observational cross-sectional data from 648 #patients across Spain 🇪🇸 during the strictest phase of the #COVID19 lockdown (April 2020).
🔴Participants were experiencing acute or chronic #pain at the time of the survey.

In May 2019, Dr. @rschilsky & I co-chaired the #AAADV19 Workshop Plenary Session "Decentralized #ClinicalTrials: The Future is Now." An incredible group of panelists from academia, industry, govt, & patient #advocacy 👇discussed the rationale, challenges, & opportunities of DCTs.
No one knew yet that the #COVID19 #pandemic was just around the corner. In Mar 2020, FDA released a guidance on conduct of #clinicaltrials during the pandemic: fda.gov/media/136238/d…, & colleagues wrote about the impact on #OncTwitter trials: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…. /2

Results from DiD show the shift to telehealth wasn't associated with a change in counseling service-seeking intentions among clients, both for racial/ethnic minorities and White individuals. (2/8) #MentalHealthServices #Access
Implication 1: no evidence suggests declines in counseling service-seeking intentions after the universal shift to telehealth around March 15, 2020. Current policies tied to telehealth should continue beyond the pandemic. @CounselingViews @ACA_CTOnline #TelehealthPolicy (3/8)
My friend @GitaPensaMD just published this brilliant piece in @TIME about the unspoken fear that is driving many docs, nurses, & other #healthcare providers out of clinical care. It’s not what you think. Take a read.

In tandem, I learned that UCSF nurses are protesting exactly the same conditions that Gita describes: overcrowding, insufficient staffing, a place in which it is IMPOSSIBLE to provide high quality care. sfstandard.com/public-health/…
And last night I had a conversation with a non-medical friend who is experiencing the misery of emergency department overcrowding, first-hand.

I have published more case reports than most, and I get people asking me about how to do it all the time.
Here’s how to get a high quality case report published for others to see: 🧵
Here’s how to get a high quality case report published for others to see: 🧵
1.) First of all, I love these. Especially as a new clinician they helped me see the reasoning process and how care was delivered over time, which is especially helpful when you haven’t seen many patients. I’m going to focus on descriptive case reports.
2.) But what’s interesting to most? This is the crux of deciding whether to pursue publication. Sure you can present cases to others (like in our FB group or in school programs) but to get something published, it usually needs to fit in a few boxes ⬇️

1/5 how to be a GP in a pandemic; a thread . 1. recognise there is a dangerous bug that could kill you, your family and your patients. Pivot rapidly to Telehealth and be forced to bulk bill #telehealth #covid19 #auspol #GetVaccinatedNow
2/5 spend your days trying to calm down your patients and your nights doing 3-4 hours of education to make sure you know what to do next, learn about covid & every update there is. Wear scrubs in case you give it to anyone at home . Sanitise at every possible work point you have.
3/5 set up systems to triage,&safely see or direct pts with symptoms of covid for testing and care, train your staff, in order to keep your practice going, your staff and patients safe and try not to miss all the other stuff that people could have.

I just watched this video by #realDonaldTrump which explains a lot. He talks Regulatory Reform, Property Rights, Stepping up Ventilator manufacturing and sharing with less fortunate countries. He called #COVID19 the China Virus. At the time he was mocked for this by #MSM
#Telehealth in speech #realDonaldTrump Covid-19 necessitated Distance Assessment and management of Patients by Medical Staff. No credit by #MSM . In Fact @Twitter banned him for “inciting a riot”. He did not. Why was Nancy Pelosi’s elevator unlocked? Capitol police stood back.

NJ Medicaid Director Jennifer Langer Jacobs @NJDHS discussing Medicaid Payment Issues: Facilitating Access, Supporting Care at @SetonHallLaw's Telehealth Post-Pandemic virtual symposium #telehealth #postpandemic #vulnerablepopulations #HealthLaw #healthpolicy #Medicaidpolicy
"We live at the intersection of creativity and compliance." Director Jacobs
1/ Report on #telehealth from GAO has reasonable methods but draws the wrong, negatively skewed conclusion toward telehealth reimbursement that compromises health equity. Below is an elaboration why...gao.gov/assets/gao-21-…
2/ First, the researchers methods are reasonable. They primarily rely on CMS reports, which have limited utility given lack of granularity of those data, especially around disparities. But the researchers did supplement with interviews with providers, consumers, state leaders.
3/ Report appropriately finds that Medicare telehealth waivers resulted in increased utilization of telehealth services & provided beneficiaries access to services that would not have otherwise been available during the early days of the #COVID19. That was the point of waivers.

Sharing space for win-wins is not the same as hating people in a space.
Violating professional ethics by trying to diagnose via Twitter only damages own professional reputation by displaying poor judgment.

The time to have diagnosed by Twitter was here - instead of holding leadership accountable, people scrambled to put guardrails and install people to be "adults" in the room to reassure the public.

Last weekend, I made a threat on the ongoing #SocialMedia shutdown in Uganda and some implications on the future of #internet & Uganda's #digital agenda.
The thread attracted a lot of engagement and questions. Tonight, I will share some final thoughts on the subject. (1)

Conceptually, social media sites are the largest on-boarding platforms for internet users in Uganda. Notably, Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram & Snapchat attract the highest internet traffic- which drives demand for other platform services e.g Google and Zoom recently.
So- when we talk about an "open internet", we mean the FULL resources of the internet. Any encumberance on selected applications has ripple effects across the entire network thus jeorpadizing standardization of internet/data transmission which is essential for innovation & growth
