Do you know what to do following a sports-related concussion? Should we be prescribing 'cocooning,' which is strict cognitive and physical rest? NO. The recommendation should be "light physical activity and graduated aerobic exercise tailored to symptoms and heart rate. Initiate in 24-72 hours."

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.
Why is the EPA banning TCE for Parkinson's? The odds ratio for the dry cleaning chemical TCE and association with later Parkinson's is ridiculously high. and the community should thank the EPA and embrace this decision as a huge WIN for Parkinson's. This is a BIG DEAL.
Second AES, first as an attending, what an unbelievable experience. Here’s to all that we learned and the connections we made and rekindled. Until next time @amepilepsysoc.bsky.social #medsky #neurosky

Am I hearing it right!!??? Aan and green journal are here! 💕💕
Yet I routinely see my patients not getting jobs and on the other hand, also being denied disability. I wish there was an easier way for them to get approved. Epilepsy has such ripple effects in every aspect of a person's life!!
