Between now and end of year I have to renew my MD license with like 12+ hours of online courses, complete app for academic reappointment, complete credentialing renewal at the VA where I cover call but don't work, ABU MOC modules. None of these make me a better doc.

Texas Pediatricians Face Paxton Investigations for Vaccinating Children nytimes.com/2026/10/05/healt… This is disgusting and just dog whistling. These people are so bad for public health. What say you @DrAlexTatem continue to protect Ken Paxton?

Texas Pediatricians Face Paxton Investigations for Vaccinating Children

Ken Paxton, the Texas attorney general and Republican Senate candidate, has alleged a sprawling profit-driven conspiracy. Pediatricians say the accusations are an attempt at intimidation.

Disagree with her policies. Challenge her ideas. Fight her at the ballot box. That’s democracy. But for the sitting Vice President of the United States to tell Angie Nixon, a FL state representative, U.S. Senate nominee, business owner, mother, and Floridian that she doesn’t belong in America is profoundly un-American and racist. No politician gets to decide who belongs in this country. NO MAS!

>15 years of doing penile implants, and apparently @MetroPlusHealth knows something about penile implants that I don't. "Cortisol...can affect how well a penile implant may work." and now a "necessary" test to do before they approve a penile implant. Of course, the patient has no history of cortisol-related pathology...some algorithm.... Can someone explain to me - what is the evidence that cortisol levels are "medically necessary", and why we don't have them in the @AmerUrological guidelines or on the Board Exam?🤣 Maybe @AHIPCoverage can help with the answer? @justindubinmd @ABUrology @DrPaulPerito @RepGregMurphy @rachelcohrs @SMSNA_ORG

Hey @AHIPCoverage tell us all why a patient needs a cortisol level before getting a penile implant? Has there ever been a more blatant case of making up random barriers to avoid authorizing payment? Retweet for visibility please.

APPs + physicians + collaboration = stronger urologic care. 💙 Great conversation with @billyjaffe Kristy Keyock CRNP, Andy Gardner PA-C, and @KovellCaleb on integrating APPs into practice at the Mid-Atlantic AUA!  @midatlanticaua #maaua26 #TeamBasedCare

I suggest physicians avoid using @cvspharmacy Was told they will no longer fill prescriptions written by docs for family members. Any prescription. “Corporate Policy”. This is restricting my right to practice medicine. We already have guidance about the ethics of this.

In this comment, new data challenges the value of pre-op urine cultures before endoscopic prostate surgery. Despite AUA guidelines, UCx within 30 days didn’t lower post-op UTI risk—raising questions about testing strategies and antibiotic stewardship. 🔗 bit.ly/44uMXgY

I don’t understand why in the first half throwing the ball on 2nd and short and then 3rd and short, but running on 3rd and 12 now. This can be converted. Jalen doesn’t throw many pics. #philadelphiaeagles
