Pleased to see our UC San Francisco Medicine residency ranked #2 in US by Doximity. Of course, all these programs are great– MS4s should look for 'fit', suss out culture, & ask 'are these the folks I want to learn with for 3 yrs.' Congrats to UC San FranciscoIMChiefs, Rebecca Berman & rest of team.

📢 Calling all MS3s and MS4s to join a virtual information session to learn about the UCSF IM Chiefs Internal Medicine Residency! 📢

Nothing I can say that's not in the fantastic early reviews but it's a fun, surprising and beautiful quick read. The book of the summer. On the fence? Watch the trailer: katiehafner.com/books-new/the-…

Katie Hafner’s debut novel, “The Boys,” begins with a letter from a bike touring company, asking the protagonist not to sign up for another trip. Why? nyti.ms/3b4my16

Thanks, folks, for concern for Katie Hafner. Head & throat very sore, mild cough. She began Paxlovid, along with key adjunct Rx (matzoh ball soup), courtesy of Zoë Lyon & Joe Hiatt. Metallic taste (of Pax, not soup) is real, but so is efficacy.
I'm still fine, & negative.

Amazing to see a double-blind RCT show efficacy of indomethacin in mild-moderate COVID. It's a cheap, safe (when used appropriately), generic, oral drug. Lots of problems with this study but it's still an RCT (n=210) with an impressive result. 1/

Confused over whether you should wear a mask while flying? I've tried to simplify it below.

As the unofficial cheerleader for my wife Katie Hafner's new novel, 'The Boys,' I'll resist the urge to inundate you with reviews & such. But here are the first few from Edelweiss by Above the Treeline, a platform for booksellers. I'm biased, but yes, it's this good. Out in July Spiegel & Grau
