    When I save you from dying at 2 am from a massive heart attack, I get paid $600. Hospital may bill you for $100,000+. These influencers have no clue what they are talking about.

    Elderly patient in tears, Entresto Co-Pay $400 Farxiga Co-Pay $400 Verquvo Co-Pay $500 Are these really so much better than good Old Metoprol XL/Caredilol, ACE/ARB, MRA? Do we really need these crazy expensive meds if insurance does not cover them?

    Finally some good news: Hydroxychloroquine has 70% #COVID19 viral clearance at 6 days vs only 12% of controls. Add azithromycin to achieve 100% viral clearance. Full manuscript here: mediterranee-infection.com/wp-content/upl…

    COURGAE: we don’t treat these patients ORBITA: we don’t treat these patients ISCHEMIA: we don’t treat these patients REVIVED: we don’t treat these patients. Seriously? Time to accept PCI has limited roles outside of ACS. 🤷🏽 #Cardiotwitter

    Doctors in the US also have an 12-16 year education before they become a full fledged attending, thing is, medical residents, don't get paid much. My friend who's a 3rd year resident get's paid 62k dollars a year, and he has 450k dollars in debt.
