ok health econ lesson.
Say you have a drug, and you want to know how "good" it is...
Good can be roughly defined as (1) how much does it improve your life and (2) how much longer are you going to live.

In health economics we call this a QALY (quality adjusted life year).
QALYs are the best (so far) we have, but they aren't perfect. #SMDM19
For example,
They discriminate against geriatrics. Drugs for old people don't prolong life by as much as drugs for youngins.
#SMDM19
The @UW_Pharmacy CHOICE institute looked at viable alternatives to the QALY.
They identified 5.

Rebecca Delaney, PhD discusses shared decision making in life-threatening congenital heart defects (CHD). (Thread) #SMDM19
Backstory:
Parents with children born with CHD are faced with an impossible choice:
1. Palliative care
2. Surgery--it is not a good prognosis post-surgery. The child may life days to weeks with a subpar quality of life.

Rebecca was interested in understanding what goes into the decision-making process. #SMDM19

Sai Fox’s Phoenix Forgeries Out 8/26
@MsSaiFox
Sheith University AU where virgin Keith goes trolling on Grindr to try and find someone to take his virginity the day before school starts. He finds the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen before to pop his cherry.

Only problem?

His hookup is Professor Shirogane.

Keith’s screwed.
FINE FINE YOU FUCKERS.

I’ll write this one next.
Keith Arus was many things, but a dumb virgin he certainly was /not/.

Well.

Virgin, sure. Dumb, definitely not.

Then again, the problem was more with the “virgin”, as it was the entire reason how his boyfriend became an /ex/-boyfriend, rather than the dumb.

Taking Control of Your Life, Part 1, by Vicki Hinze

#Life 101
Tonight the door closes on today. For some, it’s been a good day. For others, the best they can say is soon it will be over. For the majority of us, today was a mix of good and bad.
2/ How we view the day largely depends on how we view its events or what events dominated our thoughts and time (more so than the actual events themselves) and the impact those events had on our lives.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

's national security strategy. Currently digging through it now, I'll live tweet it because why not.
Intro's pretty standard. Promises referenced, talks about how rogue nations developing nuclear and ballistic missile technology, unchecked immigration as a vehicle for drug cartels, etc threaten our security, even references NATO members not paying up while our military crumbled.
Definitely sounding like a mission statement for how the Trump administration is going to protect the US by the end of the intro. I'm rather intrigued.
