Quick PSA to anyone who read my front-page story from Sunday's @HoustonChron about Tiffany Baker's medical mystery (houstonchronicle.com/news/he…): @netflix just released #BrainOnFire, a movie about NYPost reporter @scahalan's experience with the very disease Dr. Masdeu is studying.
A medical mystery: What is causing the voices in Tiffany's head?

A medical mystery: What is causing the voices in Tiffany's head?

For three years, the voices haven’t let up for Tiffany Baker, and her parents still don’t know what’s happening to their 23-year-old daughter. Neither do their doctors. But one Houston...

#BrainOnFire starring @ChloeGMoretz is available on #Netflix from today! The film is adapted from the excellent memoir by our ace ambassador @scahalan As a word of caution, it does feature scenes which viewers familiar with #AntiNMDAR #Encephalitis may find disturbing.

By all accounts @TheoCaviness did a most-impossible thing: he united the Post and the Daily News in the singular opinion that he was one of the best people to ever walk into either newsroom. Godspeed to him, comforting thoughts to his family.

Shoutout to my late father Dandy Andy, who in the early days of the Flembots cut everyone’s hair. I’m not gonna say he was a one trick pony but you can judge for yourselves.

I have massive respect for one of the main Duty to Warn people - James Gilligan, who I wrote about in Shamed. But my instinct is they're losing the battle.

@scahalan Hi, you are one of my heroes and influences. We have very similar stories with Encephalitis. I'm not looking for a handout, but if you could simply share my story then I will be one step closer to getting better. <3 youtu.be/o6ejIhO-NSw
