1/ We’ve got a database tracks drug company spending on doctors since 2010.

We updated it and found companies are still paying doctors a lot.

Folks on here couldn’t resist getting their doctors *literal* receipts. Here’s what they said:
👇👇👇
2/ Some said their doctors received hundreds of thousands of dollars.
3/ Regardless of speciality…
4/ Some received nothing at all.
5/ 👇
6/ There were psychiatrists with high amounts.
7/ Here’s another.
8/ One cardiologist came close to $100,000.
9/ Some doctors even looked themselves up and said what they saw.
10/ The ones that did said they found small amounts.
11/ Or they said they found nothing at all.
12/ We’re still reporting on doctors and drug payments. @HannahFresques found that doctors who receive payments prescribe more of the drugs the pharmaceutical companies make.

13/ As for you and your doctors, we’re still curious. Have they received payments from drug companies? How much?

14/ We’re going to be writing about some of the things we find — and some of the things you point out to us. Sign up to get ‘em: propub.li/2G2UY0T

In the early hours of Aug. 21, 2017, the USS John S. McCain took an unexpected left turn & collided with a tanker. 10 sailors lost their lives.

In an internal investigation, the navy blamed the destroyer’s crew.

But that’s not the whole story. Not even close. (THREAD)
2/ We recreated the events leading to the crash. It happened fast. Only 3 minutes and 19 seconds. Was it solely the sailors’ fault? Or did the fancy new technology set them up to fail?
3/ We join the McCain 20 miles from Singapore, while the crew was navigating one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. The 23-year-old at the helm was steering with the new touch-screen navigation system called the Integrated Bridge and Navigation System, or IBNS.

In FL, a man sits on death row. He could be executed as early as Jan. 2020.

The key witness in his case is a con artist, convicted child predator and “jailhouse snitch” named Paul Skalnik — who’s offered info on 40+ defendants

Would you believe him?

Let’s review the evidence:
EDITOR’S NOTE:

We do a lot of Twitter threads. We’re trying something new with this one.

This story is a massive, unbelievable saga — truly too much to condense into a single string of tweets.

So we decided to give you some options.

Let us know what you think.

One morning in 1985, the body of a 14 y/o named Shelly Boggio was found, nude, floating in an inland waterway near the town of Indian Rocks Beach, FL.

The facts pointed overwhelmingly to Jack Pearcy, a 29-year-old construction worker w/ a history of violence against women.

While Skalnik awaits trial, the defendant in a high-profile case, Thomas Hirschi, is brought to the jail.
Hirschi was one of the “Moody Park Three,” a trio of activists protesting the 1977 murder of Jose Campos Torres at the hands of Houston police officers. Hirschi and his colleagues were accused of inciting a riot that left 15 hospitalized.

#pepr2019 day 2 starts out with a privacy engineering career panel, moderated by @sharmadivya13 and featuring @LeaKissner @gilesdouglas Alison Huml and Sha Sundaram!
@sharmadivya13 @LeaKissner @gilesdouglas First question - what brought you into privacy?

Sha: grew up in India in an environment with basically zero privacy for anything. Wound up doing research in privacy, which was a bit of a shock. So many different cultures, backgrounds, ethics, responsibilities.
@sharmadivya13 @LeaKissner @gilesdouglas Sha: It's a lot of fun, the answers aren't obvious, it's challenging, fun. Want to make sure everyone is protected, taken care of. Very impactful, easy to see how it affects people.

Now, let's talk about how we're already fucking up 2020.

1/
The Democratic field of candidates is large and likely to grow larger. And while most are fawning over our embarrassment of riches in terms of talent, I am kind of perplexed by the level of narcissism exhibited by so many, including some of the more well known of the lot.

2/
I think many of us would agree that some (I say most) of these folks have about as much chance at the nomination as you or I do, and in the case of @TulsiGabbard, I:d say less chance.

No one thought it was a good idea when the Republicans did this in 2016, because obviously.

Unhealthy Inequality

#SDoH #HiAP #Interdependence
In 2014, medical outlays lowered the median income for the poorest decile of US individuals by 47.6% vs 2.7% for the wealthiest decile.

“First do no harm” must extend to the financial impact of delivering health care.

#SDoH #HiAP #Interdependence
"In spite of all the efforts in the US to control health spending over the past 25 years, the story remains the same.”
