1/ A long thread on LifeVest. I promise it will be entertaining. If you find any inaccuracies please let me know.
Paper of VEST published here - will discuss background to WCD and #VEST but not the trial itself nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

2/ In 2001, FDA gave approval to Lifecor for the first WCD. Later Lifecor was acquired by Zoll (2004 agreement, 2006 acquisition). Zoll maintains a registry for prescribed LifeVests. But lets go back to the FDA approval process.
3/ Lifecor presented 2 separate prospective studies to the FDA; WEARIT and BIROAD. FDA asked for both to be combined into 1 study, and each study representing a subgroup. A total of 289 patients were included.
I’ve traded away my privacy around my own deeply personal medical issues for the chance – the mere hope really – that maybe someone will listen, will learn.
This is what validation feels like:
This is what validation feels like:
I was being worked up in the ED one night for a small bowel obstruction, the imaging was _very_ concerning.
The surgical team came through, reviewed the EMR, peppered me with questions, felt my abdomen, and then left.
Except the surgical resident came back in a minute later.

Except the surgical resident came back in a minute later.
She saw how scared I was, felt my unasked questions as her team treated me like a talking, anatomically interesting, mannequin that they were subjecting to a rapid-fire pit-stop...
And so she came back in to make sure I was ok. I wasn’t.

The liver is awesome.
Yet its vocabulary is ... limited.
We can all tell when it is upset - high ALT, AST.
But that could mean anything!
So what's your specific patient's specific reason for high ALT?

1/n #Tweetorial: As an Assistant PD for @OHSUIMRes focused on scholarship, #medtwitter, & #hcsm (health care social media), I’m often guide residents and colleagues on how to best use Twitter for academics, networking, learning, etc...
2/n recently, while welcoming newbies (esp students) and “onboarding” them to #medtwitter & #hcsm, I was asked to put together advice for IM applicants on how to best use social media during application/interview season. I think this advice is applicable beyond IM, too.
3/n First, tell me about yourself:

Ryan's Rules of PowerPoint (abridged)
(1) Not using PowerPoint is the new PowerPoint. Just let the people talk and throw up key images. People want to talk. #MedEd
(1) Not using PowerPoint is the new PowerPoint. Just let the people talk and throw up key images. People want to talk. #MedEd
(2) You are the expert on the topic - you're the only one who read about this before your talk. Don't underestimate yourself. Be prepared and have minimal slides (have back-up slides if someone in the audience is contrary and insists on seeing slides).
(3) no cartoons or funny slides. People take in jokes or gifs are different speeds. So you end up with a staggered polite laugh. You can make jokes that sound spontaneous, but staged slides are never as funny to anyone else (fka the GaryLarson rule of PPT)
1/ Content warning: sexual harassment and assault. The @theNASEM released a report on sexual harassment in medicine. Disturbing quotes by #womeinmedicine from the report are in this thread (17). #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #heforshe @womeninmedchat @physcianwomen bit.ly/2JzUunm
2/ Residency. "But, the thing is about residency training is everyone is having human rights violations. So, it’s just like tolerable sexual harassment." (Nontenure-track faculty) #believewomen #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #womeinmedicine #metoophd #metoomed #MedEd #sheforshe #heforshe
3/ Culture. "I still don’t think that the prospect of being sexually assaulted was as bad as watching the next generation of sexual harassers being formed. I think that was the worst part for me." (Nontenure-track faculty) #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #womeinmedicine #MedEd #heforshe
1/This article highlights an urgent need for training faculty and administrators on issues related to gender violence and discrimination in #meded. We have five concerns with the article. #metoo #meded #womeninmedicine #sheforshe #heforshe @caroline_a_king @womeninmedchat
2/ Title IX. This article is missing information about federally mandated reporting processes and protections that legally protect medical students (and all students in the U.S.).
3/Anecdotal beliefs perpetuate harms. A physician expert states “the trainee must amass allies before lodging this complaint…” This is legally incorrect, a single report is enough to trigger Title IX and this reinforces the notion that single reports will not be believed.

Thank you to @rallamee for loaning me the use of her garden and boating lake to do a few demonstrations in this weekend's tweetorial.
Thank you also to a colleague, for sending me this just now. It is enlightening and I am genuinely sorry.
This is my commentary on #twitter #movements. Before I go I want to preface this with a statement: I love humans. We're amazing creative & powerful beings. I'm fascinated by human behaviour and the hidden motivations underlying our basic need to belong. 1/
I've observed some movements taking off on Twitter. Some for #MedEd, raising awareness, knowledge sharing, inspiration and sharing failings, wounds & triumphs. Generally they support creative expression in 280 characters. Awesome! 2/
As these movements gain momentum, more people want to join in b/c #belonging. I'm seeing a disturbing trend of sharing experiences of patients/clients to promote how deep & human they are. Some are purely intended, some not. 3/

Not all fears are alike.
* Some fears are one-and-done:
I get a cold which progresses to pneumonia. Will I die, or recover?
* Other things hang over us for much longer, perhaps all your life.
Will you get hit by a bus?
Get a heart attack?
There's no "sell by" date on the fear.

Francisomycin, my new natural anti-atherosclerotic antibiotic, has now been published in NEJM to reduce atherosclerosis by 173 arbitrary units (p=0.03).
I am really, really pleased with the result and the fact that I have the patent on this magical stuff.

A. 3% of pts had reduced atherosclerosis?
B. 97% of pts had reduced atherosclerosis?
C. If a drug is ineffective, 3% chance that it produces an effect this extreme.
D. 3% probability that THIS drug is ineffective, i.e. that these results occurred by chance

Thank you to Ali Jazayeri for suggesting this subject on the highly secret DM contact address (@ProfDFrancis).
At first I hesitated over whether this was truly needed amongst such an elite body of scienntific minds as we have reading this thread.
But Pascal Meier insisted that it was.
He said he was watching a whole session dedicated to not understanding this at a conference. Sent a pic!
