In med school, I proposed to a professor to write a letter to the NEJM. He said, "We are not doctors for those journals, let other people do it."
With my most fantastic mentor (my dad), we had a dream ...
An honor that a case from Colombia is published in the NEJM

🎗️ Today is #PBCDay! Two things worth shouting about:
1️⃣ Early diagnosis saves livers — know the labs, know the symptoms
2️⃣ It's not just about the liver — ask your patients about fatigue & itch. Quality of life matters as much as biochemistry
PBC is in a great place right now — newer therapies are effective AND help with symptoms. Progress on both fronts. 🙌

September = PBC Awareness Month 🎗️
3 things every clinician should know:
1️⃣ AMA-negative doesn’t rule out PBC
2️⃣ Non-responders to UDCA need 2nd-line therapy, not just observation
3️⃣ Newer agents (PPAR agonists) don’t just improve biochemistry — they help control pruritus too
Let’s close the diagnostic gap. #LiverTwitter #PBC
