Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

Tears in my eye on home visits today listening to caregivers say they got the vaccine. Because in addition to being primary caretakers for a family member they also work in nursing homes and hospitals. These families are my family @The_BMC @AAHCMedicine @BUgeriatrics

Using VA data we found a 25% reduction in all-cause mortality and 20% reduction in CV-mortality in new statin users >75 years. Same in those >90 and with dementia. Age should not be a reason to withhold statins! jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… @JAMA_current @VAResearch @BrighamAging

Good article. Here's the question: If enough of us say this message enough of the time, will we get through? healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hbl…

I hate headlines like this so I’ll say it again, If an engineer builds a one winged airplane that doesn’t fly, why blame the pilot and flight crew? Our society has underresourced NH’s and responds with surveys and fines. And blame.

#COVID19 The community is wealthy but the #NusingHome staff are still under paid. We need to #valueLTCemployees They care for our parents, grandparents, spouses, shouldn’t we pay them well to provide excellent care? Why are they paid so little? Shame on us!

More than 40% of deaths from covid in MA are in the nursing homes. Does anyone else find this such a troubling statistic? Wouldn’t we scream if 40% of deaths were in schools? What did our elders do to deserve this? Is this what we want for ourselves for the future? I hope not.

I am crying. Today we discussed how we will ration vents if needed. My mom, who helped me get to be the doc I am, would not get one bc she has dementia. I get why and agree with the strategy, but it doesn’t make it any easier. #geri #geriatrics #nursinghome #COVID
