Hear me out: what if journals gave you more than 48 hr to send back proofs

UHC denying my epilepsy patient's VNS 106 replacement. She'll lose therapy that helps her.

UnitedHealthcare: See our VNS medical policy, it's unproven.

me: Um your policy that quotes two of my papers on VNS? Perhaps I know what I'm talking about?

UHC: Nope, still denied.

#Medicaid nerds: read👇🏿our new JAMA article published this week. I enjoyed working w/ Julie Donohue (@PittTweet) & team on this. Relatedly: publishing in medical journals is a whole different game. I have thoughts😬but won't go too deep #onhere . ja.ma/3SwtlRv

“Meta-analysis of studies that directly compared patients who underwent surgery to those not operated following presurgical evaluation showed that the former have a two-fold lower risk of death and a three-fold lower risk of SUDEP than the latter”

A very useful paper for everyone involved with systematic reviews (researchers, publishers, funders). Makes the point that supporting/maintaining living #systematicreview is a good way to ensure retracted papers are removed from evidence syntheses.
