I expect the #glp1ra online and in-real-life shaming and bullying to get worse after the publication of #SURPASS-CVOT #tirzepatide #dulaglutide.
I think my #gigablock game will surpass (pun intended) my peak of the early pandemic era esp after I have gone through the egfr data.

#Tirzepatide ad in the theater: one of the possible side effects listed as "inflamed pancreas." That feels like a scummy way to avoid saying #pancreatitis. It's no fun. But it's a rare side-effect at least. I'm on #dulaglutide which also has that as a rare side-effect. But I had already developed #ChronicPancreatitis at that point, so, kinda water under the bridge for me at least.

Sorry, #dulaglutide med #trulicity; the more general description of these drugs is #glp1 receptor agonists.

Apparently various professional orgs have been kinda all over the map on whether or not to hold such meds pre-op, but now they are coalescing -- still without formal evidence-based guidance, mind you -- around 24-hour liquid diet in preoperative phase, especially for higher doses of the meds for patients on weekly regimens.
