Happy #NationalAvocadoDay 🥑
My favorite way to take @Orasana Vitamin D is on my avocado toast! Taking it with fatty foods aids in better absorption.
Avocados are a naturally nutrient-dense food and contain nearly 20 vitamins and minerals.
Of all the cardiac rhythms, sinus tachycardia worries me the most. You can’t shock sinus rhythm.
“How to convince someone who is hesitant to get the #CovidVaccine”: Wise advice from @ItaiDanovitch, Chair of Psychiatry at #CedarsSinai, about speaking w/ vaccine hesitant friends/family. Don’t lecture, he says. Listen. But also set boundaries: https://abc7.com/health/how-to-convince-someone-to-get-the-covid-19-vaccine/10917939/ via @abc7
#quickcase #colorectalsurgery. You are asked to see an otherwise healthy patient with a mid-rectal (right above the second rectal valve) mrT2N0 adenocarcinoma with no distant Mets. How do you proceed?
The incredible @JasonSilva! So, well done. Cannot wait to see you again at #LifeItself.
What is “life itself” to you? See this video I made for my friend @marchodosh & @drsanjaygupta for LIFE ITSELF, their new & amazing conference bringing together visionaries to discuss the future of health. I’m so excited to attend & be involved! Check out: http://www.LifeItself.Health

Thank you @TasadooqH - it was an honor to play a small role. We are proud of you!
A fantastic experience working with the absolute legends in the field of Colorectal surgery@ScottSteele@TracyHull@ClevelandClinic. It was my privilege and honor to be the part of this world class unit and team. Thank you for this opportunity@ScottSteele. I’ll miss you all…
I finally got to see my parents, and it was wonderful! Made me realize the impact of loneliness. As 💉 let us reconnect, we may have lingering fears. How do we help each other ease out of that mindset? https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/27/health/covid-family-reunion-older-populations-wellness/index.html
New from #Pfizer. #COVID19 vaccine data expected for children ages 5-11 by end of September. This is later than previously expected. Authorization not likely until end of 2021.
I was thrilled to read & endorse my friend @DrLeanaWen's new book, Lifelines. She's a crucial voice of calm & science in the #covid19 pandemic. In a remarkable memoir, she lays out a compelling vision for the future of public health. #Lifelinesthebook https://www.amazon.com/dp/1250186234/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&ref_=tmm_hrd_swatch_0&sr=

I’m amazed at what my colleagues at #CedarsSinai do every day and inspired by their passion to advance medicine. Although rankings aren't everything, it’s still an honor to represent the #2 GI program in the country per new @usnews "Best Hospitals" report: https://health.usnews.com/best-hospitals/rankings/gastroenterology-and-gi-surgery
Happy 99th Birthday to the great @theNormanLear who recently met w/ @BrianGrazer to discuss what “Life Itself” means to them. Two Hollywood icons having a fun & special moment, and teaching all of us life lessons along the way! @MarcHodosh https://lifeitself.health/
We are honored to be ranked as one of the nation's top hospitals by @USNews. Rankings like these affirm our caregivers' dedication to providing patients with the highest quality care, even in these challenging times. #BestHospitals https://cle.clinic/3xcDS9q
Please, help us help you. Nearly everyone admitted to our hospital with #COVID19 is unvaccinated. Learn from this story about patients being admitted and expressing remorse for not getting the shot. "We are so frustrated" says Dr. Oren Friedman, one of our ICU doctors. More:
"We are so frustrated. We are so upset and so frustrated because I think this feels like it shouldn't have to be this way," said Dr. Oren Friedman, an ICU physician at Cedars-Sinai. https://ceda.rs/3kWD5Xo
If you had cancer and were undergoing chemotherapy, which health system would you choose (all else being equal)?
A system where Covid vaccinations are mandatory, encouraged, or simply offered for health care staff?
I'm watching #COVID19 cases rise quickly in our hospital & LA County. Most are unvaccinated. Yet, I continue to hear (even among some close to me), worry about vaccine side effects. I can only say don't get in a car today b/c risks of driving are much higher than risks of vaccine
VRx: If #VR is a therapy, then we need a VR pharmacy. Our Cedars-Sinai VR team is developing new apps to help support a range of conditions. This site describes our step-by-step process for creating new #MXR programs and features two apps in development: https://virtualmedicine.org/appdev

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 ripe banana

Great to see @ClevelandClinic co-director of our Endoluminal Surgery Center @EmreGorgunMD highlighting work on #ESD and other colon-sparing procedures for #polyps @MidwestSurgical @CentralSurg
My friend @TaisonBell is a clear communicator, a talented doctor, and overall great guy. I would love to see him more consistently on @CNN
I came on @CNN this morning to speak with @kaitlancollins about the #DeltaVariant. With cases surging it’s time to implement mask requirements for schools and in areas with low vaccination rates. Thanks to @TONJUCNN for the invite!

Food is something that was once alive and came from the land, sky or sea. If it doesn’t fit that basic definition, or if you’re not sure, then it’s probably better to skip it.

Beach Volleyball! Once again: I almost have the entire place to myself. Making sure to cheer extra loud!
5 hour drive to best friend's wedding but still need to learn more #psychpharm. Time for some @PsychopharmInst podcasts!
Virtually better: Our #CedarsSinai Patient Experience team held a "Shark Tank" competition for ideas to support patient care. Our team proposed to use relaxing #VR during chemotherapy using our newest software (vid, w/ sound). We were selected for the finals & present later today
Almost like I am here all by myself…
#quickcase #colorectalsurgery. You are asked to see a patient with a tender area on the right buttock and noted to have a perforated extraperitoneal rectal cancer. No fistula on exam. AVSS. Wbc 18k. No other mets. How do you proceed?
I've noticed some meeting organizers prefer to advance other people's slides from their own computer while requiring the presenter to repeat "next slide" for every build/transition. My take: let people run their own slides. It's worth the extra 15 sec of handing over Zoom control
Today I'll be on @SIRIUSXM w/ host @MarkPochapin to discuss my new book #VRx (from @BasicBooks), explore the expanding field of medical extended reality (#MXR), and discuss what MXR teaches us about the nature of consciousness & the future of mind-body medicine across healthcare.
Interested in #VR? Can it be used as a medical treatment? Find out when I speak to @BrennanSpiegel, friend, colleague and author of a new book, “VRx: How Virtual Therapeutics will Revolutionize Medicine”

So excited for next March when the #MXR community reunites in person (heaven willing...) at Cedars-Sinai to discuss the latest science & experiences using #XR in clinical practice. Links below, including "earliest bird" tix avail thru 8/31 to reserve spot (#vMed always sells out)
The MXR community will reunite at the 4th annual #vMed conference at Cedars-Sinai on March 24-25th. Register today! #VR #VirtualReality

Wow! That may motivate my own 12 yo to do the same…
@drsanjaygupta @AnaCabrera My son finish reading your book in 2 days! He is only 12 years old.
Yeah! You deserve some time off @AnaCabrera. Hope the book kept you good company. Thanks so much for reading it.
Vacation! Finally time for a little joy reading. Loving your book @drsanjaygupta! #KeepSharp
VR Trials: Our #vMed team at Cedars-Sinai currently has three @NIH trials studying #VR for different types of pain. We summarize the studies here: https://virtualmedicine.org/research/current. For any questions about our trials, feel free to DM inquiries to our Twitter account @virtualmedconf
Losing my immunity? Since I was among 1st to get #CovidVaccine last Dec, I can now monitor my longterm immunity. I had good antibody response after 1st dose & big bump after 2nd dose in Jan, but titers have now dropped by 73%. IgG anti-N low, meaning no previous viral exposure.
#Psychiatry resident thoughts: the labels "atypical" & "typical" for antipsychotics are not helpful. What will the next generation drugs be called, "Super atypical" or "atypical 2.0"? Potency for receptor was a better labeling system. Maybe it wasn't simple enough to stick.
The #OlympicGames have only been cancelled three times previously. During WW1 and twice during WW2. Before 2020 and #COVID19 the games had never been postponed before (1/13).
Watching @wearetheuswomen soccer match here in #Tokyo. A little piped in fan noise and loud music but completely empty stands. Still a pretty exciting game so far! @Olympics

New Canadian study in @JAMAHealthForum found lower mortality among hospitalized patients managed by women vs. men, consistent with previous U.S. research. Many potential confounders, but somehow this result feels right to me (I say that as a male doctor): https://consumer.healthday.com/7-19-do-women-or-men-make-the-best-doctors-2653782891.html

Woohoo nothing beats the energy of the vMed community getting together! After this last 17 months it's a much needed boost to the field.
