The @NRCgov failed to consider the impact of its extravasation decision on healthcare inequities. Bring this infographic with you for every scan! bit.ly/3CzOi96 #healthequity

I think it’s safe to say the @UNC_Basketball fans are excited…
@CollegeGameDay from Chapel Hill starts at 10am ET.

As always, I'll have tweets and tidbits for you right here throughout this ballgame and the rest of the CAA Tourney action. But I'm trying out something new this year, too. If you wish to do so, go get subscribed to MY PHOENIX - an Elon Hoops substack.

Most nuclear medicine providers gain vascular access using woefully out of date methods. They don’t consider how skin color impacts the ability to find a vein. Why has @NRCgov failed to consider the impact of its extravasation decision on healthcare inequities? #healthequity

To help patients now, we ask @NRCgov to immediately issue interim guidance on 3 issues related to extravasation. Get the details at safernuclearmedicine.org/pos…. #PutPatientsFirst

"I’ve discovered that a frequent injury called extravasation can potentially damage the tissue and distort the quality of the image, rendering it inaccurate." @PamLKohl talks to @ASCOPost about the extravasation she experienced - bit.ly/3MCMCyZ

October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and patients need to know that radiopharmaceutical extravasation is a common mistake that can occur during scans, potentially affecting diagnosis and treatment. Educate yourself! safernuclearmedicine.org #PatientSafety #ActNowNRC

Did you know? We recently organized a webinar with all the facts you need to know about extravasations. View the webinar on-demand at bit.ly/3Rbr9hq. Learn more now so you can self-advocate the next time you get a scan. #ActNowNRC

We are asking @CMSGov to include Radiopharmaceutical Extravasation Monitoring as a new Quality Payment Program improvement activity. Will they take this action to encourage safer handling of nuclear medicine help keep patients safe? #ActNowNRC
Pam Kohl retweeted
Shocking fact: Patients who are significantly extravasated may have more radiation exposure to their tissue than nuclear power plant workers. Why does @NRCgov continue to allow these medical errors to be hidden from patients? #ActNowNRC

On this @WHO #WorldPatientSafetyDay we urge @JeffBaranNRC @Globeseek @NRCgov @SNM_MI @RadiologyARC to stand up for patient safety. Expedite the rulemaking process for the reporting of large extravasations. #ActNowNRC

Facts are facts – patients can be harmed by large extravasations. We urge @SNM_MI @RadiologyACR to acknowledge the truth, take #PatientSafety into account and support extravasation reporting. #WorldPatientSafetyDay #ActNowNRC

Nuclear medicine has made incredible strides over the last 42 years – so why is the policy around extravasations still stuck in 1980? Visit our website to find out why we’re so passionate about this issue, and why we say #ActNowNRC safernuclearmedicine.org/
Pam Kohl retweeted
Believe it or not, if radioactive material is injected into your tissue instead of a vein, you do NOT have to be told. That’s why we are in the fight to require reporting of significant extravasations. As patients, we have a right to know! #ActNowNRC

Wow! The starting bid for Saturday night's Final Four games is now just $440. A tribute to the 44,000 individuals who will die from Metastatic Breast Cancer this year. How could you pass up this deal?
Need tickets for this Saturday’s Final Four games? Make a bid here and know your money is going to a great cause instead of the frickin’ NCAA. All proceeds will support the Susan G. Komen Metastatic Breast Cancer Collaborative Research Initiative:

The UNC/Duke will be at its fiercest on Saturday night. Support your team while also supporting the good that comes when both universities work together to collaborate on breast cancer research.
Oh… and you’ll get to see Kansas vs. Villanova, too.
