In case you wonder why your doctor doesn’t want to practice medicine anymore, it’s not you, it’s #EPIC. 3000k notifications, none of which pertain to patient care = burnout. It’s not COVID, it’s EPIC. ⁦@AASLDtweets⁩ ⁦@AGA_Gastro⁩ ⁦@MGHMedicine⁩ ⁦@MGH_GI⁩

Besides anticraving drugs, does PSYCHOTHERAPY work in patients with alcoholic liver disease ? This recent paper by @alcliverdoc shows that: 🔸It prevents ALD development. 🔸It prevents decompensations. bit.ly/3A2rtYX #livertwitter @MGHMedicine

You can add this to the list of journals I never expected to be published in! But this highlights how much fun it is to work with smart people. #cholestasisofpregnancy @MGH_GI @BWHMGHObGyn

Detect at-risk patients early. Educate. Treat. Destigmatize.

Never underestimate the importance of the scope…
As I always say, “Colonoscopy can help us find polyps, can help us prevent colon cancer, and in very particular cases, may help us elevate a woman to U.S. presidential power for the first time in history”…

It’s the Liver Meeting. Which you are psyched for. Both kids are sick. Both parents are sick. Babysitter called out sick. How many hours of Paw Patrol is the right number? #TLMdX #liverlearning. #AskingForAFriend

Seeing 25 year olds with cirrhosis in the same rounds as the 70 year old who drinks a liter of vodka daily, with barely an AST bump always mystifies me. What role does genetics play? Let’s learn from all star @etrepo today at noon. CME offered. All welcome!
Why do some heavy drinkers develop liver disease while others don’t? Join us this Friday for an ALD webinar where @etrepo will teach us why! 12 PM EST, Register at tinyurl.com/y4zjbg5r @MGH_GI @eaks790 @alcliverdoc #livertwitter

According to the great mind of ⁦@TuckerCarlson⁩, what’s happening here is child abuse. #FoxNewsLies and is dangerous to our society. #maskup #proudmom #firetuckercarlson

Although I had read the coverage with dismay - this picture is worth a thousand words. And it is terrifying.
