      #TheResident our next new episode on feb 26 pulls back the curtain on multiple surgeries. Ask your surgeon if he or she could be running, legally, up to 4 ORs at once.https://youtu.be/PwJbqW8HYyk

      And what does the scientific literature say about this? @MarkHoofnagle had been giving a matter course on it this evening; that is, if you haveng blocked him yet...

      The Lown Institute is with me as are patient safety advocates. I think I can live without your support. And we show double booking, so no need to lie and say we show quadruple when it hasn't even aired yet. And I block trolls, so yes, I'll block you!

      Block me. Or do not. I don't care much one way or the other. Realize, though, that among doctors it is a badge of honor to be blocked by you. 😏

      Keep justifying 200,000 deaths a year, and M and M's held behind closed doors. Keep denying a truth when I provide proof, and claiming you know what's in episodes you never saw, including ones not aired yet. That's science.

      Keep taking a single paper out of the literature and amplifying it. that's called cherry picking. Here is a better paper that shows the number is one tenth that. http://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h3239.long … why do you choose to only accept the highest estimate?

      That you call this "science" is laughable. Science is not assembling only the evidence that supports your argument, that's denialism. As you can see, that game is easy to play. Science has to explain the totality of the data. It's not a paper out of context.

      Replying to @MarkHoofnagle @aholdenj and

      You keep going back to a single paper, one that relies heavily on findings from global trigger tools. You probably don't know what those are and why they're problematic, or why other estimates might be more sophisticated. You like it because it supports your prejudice.

      More importantly, she doesn't care why.
