So you know how heartbreaking it was for the Blue Jays to lose in 7 games after not winning a title in 30 years?

That was the Dodgers in 2017.

Now imagine the Blue Jays and their fans finding out in three years the Dodgers cheated throughout this 2025 World Series like the Astros did in 2017.

I’ll always remember the first congestive hepatopathy patient I took care of as an intern @vumc.bsky.social. The pathology was so different from anything else, so when I saw an article on this in this month’s #JACCBTS I couldn’t wait to learn more about it. (🧵: 1/10) @jaccjournals.bsky.social
