I was laid off from Twitter today. I was the designer in charge of our new rebranding to X. I learned so much in my 2.5 weeks at the company but I’m excited to see where I land next. If you’re hiring a self taught, junior designer please DM me. Graphic design is my passion!

This tweet, while an obvious joke, was stolen from a different account and edited slightly to appear as if it were the author’s own attempt at humor. The original poster directly addresses the act. twitter.com/anothercohen/s…

CVS Caremark is partnering with GoodRx to automatically apply drug discounts for folks with commercial insurance GoodRx is already partnered with Express Scripts The last one left to partner with is OptumRx. GoodRx would then have partnered with the three PBMs who own 80% of the market.

One theme I constantly repeat as a doctor: We’re good at finding physical findings: tumors, broken bones etc. But subjective aches and pains? We have no idea what’s causing them and we just trying stuff hoping it’ll work. And often it won’t.

There are so many intangible benefits supporting users of your open source #Bioinformatics, but at some point you have to get paid for it. The folks asking the questions are getting paid, so why not us?

Replying to @drmelcalvert
@drmelcalvert hit the nail on the head about the need for collaboration and standardisation in collection and use of #PROMs for clinical and research use. This is the aim of @NetworkProms and the development of @open_Outcomes

"Don't negate subjectivity or diminish its importance—acknowledging that subjectivity, in the absence of an objective framework, can lead to a kind of intellectual and moral vertigo, a loss of bearings that leaves us adrift in a sea of relativism." link.medium.com/KWHf6CKYCAb

Almost nothing in consumer marketing translates when it comes to marketing or selling to clinicians/healthcare systems, payers. Marketing in healthcare is a discipline on its own and requires a very specific set of activities, content and channels.
