Today (September 17) is National Physician Suicide Awareness Day. This is a time to honor the physicians we’ve lost, break the silence around mental health in healthcare, and commit to better support systems for those who dedicate their lives to caring for others.

The #icotyde commercial is probably the best and most creative I have seen. Nothing hokey. If we are going to do this advertising, might has well do some public education. Full disclosure: I don’t know anything about out this drug

GLP1 tidal wave 2005-2025
FLOW = improved MAKE endpoints
Mechanisms remain uncertain (but they work 🤷)
REMODEL AND SURPASS CVOT may elucidate this further

Yesterday I asked MS4 graduating medical students at a forum if they thought AI was a tool or threat to healthcare and their careers?
Overwhelming these physicians cheered TOOL! 🔨
Interesting to hear the perspective of those with the most at risk but also ready to implement.

If you are using the earth as a reference frame, the moon is actually doing a close flyby of Artemis II.

Instead of a CEO eating a hamburger, I’d like to watch the @southwestair CEO find a $39 flight.

Great to see a kidney centric Super Bowl ad. We need more UACR screening. Any positive result is a warning ⚠️. Even my son was interested #SuperBowlLX

Did we (meaning "you" of course, because you voted) get them right? Is there something missing or is the order wrong? #NephJC #TopTenStories2025
