Soon we will ALL be giving IV TNK to stroke patients on DOACS. The drumbeats are pounding. Here is yet another comparative effectiveness study showing lower ICH and better mRS outcomes among DOAC pts given lytics compared to those who did not. ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

I love this essay. Every paragraph. My medical colleagues should also read it. We are doctors, and that is all.

Wrote today in the @nytimes about the dangers of blurring scholarship and activism.
