If you care for people with ARDS but this alphabet 🍜 of disease doesn’t immediately ring a 🛎️ you NEED to give this episode a listen!

Vinay Prasad’s appointment to lead the FDA’s CBER division is a disaster for biotech stocks but it’s worse for patients who depend on new therapies. Therapies that Vinay has signaled he won’t approve.

I really liked Season 1 of Fallout. One thing that struck me as unrealistic was Vault-Tec’s evil plan: to literally nuke the entire world so they could fundamentally reshape society according to their twisted views.
Anyway, it feels pretty realistic after this week…

The US is experiencing the largest measles outbreak including the first deaths from the disease in decades.
RFk Jr - the newly confirmed HHS secretary - believes that this is a big pharma hoax & measles isn’t a deadly disease.
We are so screwed.

Musk & his underlings suspended PEPFAR payments despite orders from SecState & the White House to resume them.
Suspension of PEPFAR will cause over 14,000 otherwise preventable deaths.

Periodic reminder that for most people with vasodilatory shock we should be targeting a MAP > 60 mmHg (not 65).
A lower MAP goal was associated with a shortened duration of vasopressors & possibly reduced mortality.
With vasopressors, less is truly more.
