Oh, MAN, I miss the early Internet days.
In 1991 or '92, I brought a tractor-fed dot-matrix printout about 8-10 pages long of a #NewEnglandJournalOfMedicine #NEJM article/study that was possibly related to my malady, to my #Cardiologist, & he was genuinely appreciative.
I'd used #gopher to find it. Or was it #archie ?
Can you imagine a Dr these days paying ANY attention to something I printed off the Internet today?

«“What is happening today in Gaza is unprecedented. It far surpasses the violations of medical neutrality [preserving access to medical care during times of war] seen in El Salvador, Chile, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Syria, Sudan, or Ukraine.…We are witnessing today the same deliberate and systematic targeting of health care personnel, not only in Gaza, but also in Lebanon….”»

«Abi-Rached said,… “What explains the erasure of the predicament of Palestinians in the pages of the journal? What do we mean by the political determinants of health if we precisely ignore the plight, the health, and well-being of marginalized and vulnerable populations?”»

«“Is the silence of the journal regarding the pulverization of the health care system in Gaza, and Israel’s relentless attack on health care workers and the creation of a public health and humanitarian disaster and the weaponization of starvation similar or different to its silence during the Holocaust?” Abi-Rached said toward the end of her talk, joining the symposium virtually from Paris.»

The NEJM published a letter in 1980 saying opioids weren't addictive when used in pain relief. It was widely and uncritically cited. It took the NEJM until 2017 to correct the record.
