How complicated is health care billing in the U.S., and how much is it costing patients? Find out in last month's @JAMA_current report ja.ma/2Ffq1FH with editorial by @vivianleemd ja.ma/2sMawCH. Study done at @DukeU with support from @HarvardHBS.

My brother’s girlfriend’s cousin and his family were caught in their vehicle in Maui while the wildfires suddenly erupted around them.
No cell service, so Apple Emergency SOS was the only way they could get in contact with first responders. Literally saved their lives.
This is fantastic, would love to see this become a reality in more places:

Lol. I Googled myself and found that I now have my own @USNewsHealth page, completely unbeknownst to me. Does this mean I made it? But also maybe a little scary.

With infections surging due to the Omicron variant, physicians are now urging people to ditch cloth face masks and instead recommend pairing cloth masks with surgical models or moving on to stronger respirator masks on.wsj.com/3qNSzym
I have a theory.
Our poor #publichealth officials will never get the respect and understanding they deserve.
Society asks them to predict the future, yet doesn't account for how any released statements can/will change societal behavior itself.
If #publichealth says "don't worry about it," humans will be more careless, and naturally case numbers will be worse than expected.
If "it's going to be catastrophic," a large swath of people will take greater precautions, and naturally case numbers can be better than expected.

Electric #scooters are terrible and evil. Spread the word. Have seen so many patients in the ER who, because of them, will never be the same again.

Today I learned that people with diabetes appear to be at *reduced* risk for abdominal aortic aneurysms. Who knew?
Still not a great reason to keep that A1c at 14, but ya know…
