On their way out of town last night, a group of hooligans vandalized the plaza that welcomes you to my neighborhood, about 7 miles from the Capitol. In response to their actions, we banded together to raise enough money to help these small businesses. That’s the “American way.”

I can’t believe we have to defend the integrity of physicians and other healthcare professionals, but it is what it is. I can’t say it any better than @anupamuab:
225,000 Americans have died from #COVID19 even as physicians did all they could to keep them alive. To suggest that physicians falsely listed COVID as their cause of death, to make more money or for political reasons, is a reprehensible attack on their profession and ethics.

@DamianFog @Nephro_Sparks @kramer_holly @AmakaEMD @ASNKidney @kidney_boy @kidneydoc101 @hswapnil @NavTangri @CharlieTomson Approximately 80% of ASN’s reserves are committed to supporting KidneyX (which distributed $3 million in its most recent competition) and ensuring the ASN Foundation (KidneyCure, which provides more than $3 million annually in grants) is endowed forever. 2/2

@AtulGroverMD @JochenReiser @StaciLeisman @RollingStones @AkibaLeisman @brianchiong @MS_Martinez_MD @MDaware @JonBKlein @anupamuab @dukenus Only if I get to pick your set list. Please start with these songs, which are current and not from the 70s, 80s, or 90s, sorry: 1. US Girls, “Four American Dollars.” 2. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, “Overseas." 3. The Districts, “Cheap Regrets.”

@AtulGroverMD @JochenReiser @StaciLeisman @RollingStones @AkibaLeisman @brianchiong @MS_Martinez_MD @MDaware @JonBKlein @anupamuab Great idea. The kidney community's Phil Collins (Tom Coffman @dukenus) has agreed to play in both Singapore and Denver. The Kidney Stones are confirmed for Denver as well. Need headliner for Singapore. Any ideas?

Thanks @HelenBurstin (CMSS) and @DarilynMoyer (@ACPinternists) for your leadership on this critical issue.
Now is the time for the house of medicine to speak with a one voice. @CMSSmed 40+ specialty societies with more than 800,000 physicians strongly urge continued restrictions to slow transmission #COVID-19. Policy change must be driven by data and science

Besides promoting diversity/inclusion, ASN is partnering with other specialty societies to address concerns about ongoing assessment (beyond MOC), digital transformation (from EHRs to AI), and consolidation and corporatization in medicine. #AskASN
@NatashaNDave @ASNKidney Absolutely. I will let @TodIbrahim respond to this question. He is actually at a meeting with 20+ societies as we speak! #AskAsn

Perhaps @DrDeidraCrews , who chairs the ASN Diversity and Inclusion Committee, could answer WIN's question about promoting all types of diversity within @ASNKidney. #AskASN

Of course, #NationalDoctorsDay 2019 is on a Saturday. Physicians, surgeons, and other health professionals work more weekends, holidays, and longer days than anyone but @BelichickPats or @BeckyHammon. Shouldn’t we celebrate them every day?

Hey @AAIMOnline, 60,000 hospitalists are great, but what about the more than 850,000,000 people with #kidney diseases? #WorldKidneyDay is Thursday, March 14. These folks deserve a hearty shout-out as well.
A hearty shout out to the 60,000+ U.S. hospitalists focused on caring for patients and ensuring the quality of their experience. #NationalHospitalistDay
