🔥#ACLF-3: early vs late transplant @JosephAlukal
👉UNOS database: n=3,498
✅Better 90-day and 1-year survival for early LTx (<7 days)
🤔 Selection bias who goes for early vs late LTx?

1/🧵 Race & Medicine - #COVID
Dark-skinned people who get #COVID, or any disease lowering O2 levels, are more likely vs whites to suffer undetected hypoxemia (missed ⬇️ O2 levels).
Pulse oximeters are affected by skin color & read falsely high in Blacks.
Does it matter?

2/ It matters because undetected hypoxemia tripled the odds of DEATH 💀
This study of >128k measurements from 26,000 pts confirmed these inaccuracies that we’ve known about for 30 years.
Black, Asian & Am Indians were all included. #Disparity

3/ It’s not lost on me that this study comes at a time when we’re trying to get RID of false distinctions of race in medicine.
MYTHS generated by #racism about Blacks having different lung or kidney function are bogus.
But the Pulse Ox must addressed: bit.ly/3uZIrEG

1/ Rikers Island Prison & #COVID19:
The New Yorker: bit.ly/3fgxnt3
Many think of inmates as young strong healthy dangerous men, when in reality they are often #AGING, sick, and definitely #VULNERABLE. Covid on top of this is a time 💣

2/ Rikers Island Prison & #COVID
#Anxiety & #Fear. You can’t implement effective social distancing in an room that houses dozens of men. You cannot implement effective social distancing when those ~40 men are using the same sinks.

3/fin Rikers Island Prison & #COVID19
You cannot implement effective social distancing in a prison when staff interact with them & has to touch them in course of day. This isn’t going to play out well. Read article. #empathy starts here. I don’t know the solution!

What if the money 💰💰💰 spent by #academia & #hospitals on hiring people to spy on #SoMe, to police & shame nurses & doctors (even getting some fired for speaking up on #PPE shortage), this policing disproportionately affecting BIPOC, instead spent on hiring BIPOC & on pay gap
This is pay gap I am talking about. What kind of “#professionalism” accepts that Black women must work 7 extra months for same pay?
Professionalism on “you wore..” is used in sinister ways against Black women in particular

Puritanism in #medicine, being taught to med students who are given middle author status on a publication conceived and supported by senior faculty and junior editors, is part of this harm. Many Black girls are criminalized & punished for natural hair.
