Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

Tears in my eye on home visits today listening to caregivers say they got the vaccine. Because in addition to being primary caretakers for a family member they also work in nursing homes and hospitals. These families are my family @The_BMC @AAHCMedicine @BUgeriatrics

Using VA data we found a 25% reduction in all-cause mortality and 20% reduction in CV-mortality in new statin users >75 years. Same in those >90 and with dementia. Age should not be a reason to withhold statins! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Good article. Here's the question: If enough of us say this message enough of the time, will we get through? healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377…

I hate headlines like this so I’ll say it again, If an engineer builds a one winged airplane that doesn’t fly, why blame the pilot and flight crew? Our society has underresourced NH’s and responds with surveys and fines. And blame.
At least 6,900 people living in or connected to nursing homes across the U.S. have died of the coronavirus, a New York Times tally found, far more people than previously known.
About one-fifth of all U.S. virus deaths are linked to the facilities. nyti.ms/34JlR5O

#COVID19 The community is wealthy but the #NusingHome staff are still under paid. We need to #valueLTCemployees They care for our parents, grandparents, spouses, shouldn’t we pay them well to provide excellent care? Why are they paid so little? Shame on us! – at Gainesville, FL

More than 40% of deaths from covid in MA are in the nursing homes. Does anyone else find this such a troubling statistic? Wouldn’t we scream if 40% of deaths were in schools? What did our elders do to deserve this? Is this what we want for ourselves for the future? I hope not.

There is certainly nothing slowing this 86 year young @BUgeriatrics @The_BMC home care pt down. She is truly an inspiration to me and everyone who meets her. Click on the Instagram link to read her incredible story that defines advocacy & resilience. #thisisgeriatrics #medtwitter – at Milton, MA
Meet Sonia Booker, one of our radiant #geriatrics patients ⭐who has been cared for by BMC her whole life.
"I'm blessed by the best. Not stressed. Depressed. Or oppressed!" she recites every time her doctor, @RZChipMD, asks how she's feeling.

I wish there was a feature in Epic that allows you to see who else from your division is up late charting so you can give high fives and commiserate.

Writing grant proposals is both exhausting and exhilarating. And, you have to be able to capture the big picture AND the details. Retweet if you agree! #geriatrics #grants #proposals #writing #photography #creativity
