Inside Medicine Week In Review (December 22, 2022).
Quick catch up, solid reading recs, and my appreciation to you!
Today, I’m trying out a new “Week In Review” feature. It’s meant to be a convenient way to find what we've covered this week (in case you missed anything or never got around to reading something you’d flagged) and a chance for me to share some good stuff from other writers and outlets (“What I’m Reading”).
This week in Inside Medicine:
Monday: Data Snapshot: Bivalent booster by income level and insurance status.
Tuesday: Should I debate the fringe?
Wednesday: Field Notes: Aortic dissections are among the scariest cases ER doctors see.
Friday: Field Notes: How a young person's "unnecessary" ER visit may have saved a life during the holidays.
What I’m Reading (items written elsewhere that I found important and interesting (note: some may be paywalled or require free registration):
“This week Congress can help prevent another pandemic catastrophe.” (Amy Maxmen, The Washington Post).
“No, ER misdiagnoses are not killing 250,000 per year.” (Dr. Kristen Panthagani, You Can Know Things).
“How NYU’s E.R. Favors the Rich.” (Sarah Cliff and Jessica Silver-Greenberg, The New York Times).
'Tony Was Always a Very Clear Voice': Colleagues Bid Fond Farewell to Fauci". (Kristina Fiore, MedPage Today).
Tweet of the week (Yes, I’m still on Twitter, so you don’t have to be):
Thanks for liking and sharing the newsletter every day! That helps the content here gain further reach. And, as always, a special thanks to the upgraded subscribers who make such great comments. Increasingly, that’s the pulse of this newsletter, and I hope to see the community continue to grow so that the conversations can be even more robust.
Also, let me know if you have topics you’d like me to cover.
Have a great Saturday!
“Week In Review” Excellent idea. Thanks and happy holidays.
