Check out this new @eClinicalMed study from @OSUengineering @OSUWexMed @OSUbigdata @BrighamWomens @harvardmed Seungyeon Lee, Wenyu Song @DBatesSafety Richard Urman and I explore Illicit vs medical fentanyl use.

The findings also reveal that local environments greatly shape how birds communicate around the world. Learn more: scim.ag/4wYoVXE

Chris Koller spoke today at BWH grand rounds. Financing for primary care is insufficient, and this level of support has been going down. Access has gotten much worse. The Massachusetts Senate has passed a bill that would require institutions to spend 15% on primary care.

NEJM: New research reveals a massive concentration in medical malpractice: just 1% of all physicians account for 32% of all paid claims🩺⚖️
It seems risk isn't random—it's highly concentrated among a small group of practitioners.
