An unprecedented celebration tonight but looking at the National scenes of those large crowds, I hope anyone who celebrated in a crowd tonight limits their contacts for the next 2 weeks. Remember our first job is to fight this pandemic, united... as a country!

How does one describe the realization of a lifelong dream? After riding the waves of employed cardiology, I will be opening my own Cardiology private practice on July 1! Words can’t describe this feeling...

I am heartbroken today with the loss of my dear friend from residency Vascular Surgeon Dr. Jeff Mathew. Your fight with cancer embodied everything you represented in life - humility, strength, and perseverance. Jeff you will be so missed!

Got a call just now from a family friend who is 72 years old with a history of heart disease and has a fever and cough after recent travel to Phoenix where community spread has been documented! He was denied #COVID ー19 test by urgent care PA despite repeated requests.

So saddened to hear about the loss of a friend from growing up by suicide. I just saw her one year ago at a friends wedding and had the best conversation. You can never tell what’s behind the face we wear for others. We don’t know any one’s struggles. Let’s be kind to each other.

Explain something to me... how can we socially distance while getting our nails or hair done or at the barber? Masks don’t replace social distancing.. we have heard that many times. So why do these governors keep saying “we can still keep socially distancing after we open”

I called this woman who claims she doesn't wear a mask because of a medical condition. I asked her what that condition is and she first told me it was illegal for me to ask under ADA. Then she claims she has anxiety.

Colorado Gov. Polis said that a man who's presumptively positive for COVID-19 wasn't showing symptoms when he flew to Denver, so it's possible he wasn't contagious then. Kyle sat down with 9Health expert @payalkohlimd to discuss today's news and to get context on that.

Patients… before you get angry at your doctor, have you ever stopped to think your doctor is always your best advocate? He/she is always on your team! He/she advocates for you with insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals… everyone. Remember that always…

We take care of our patients for years. Worry about them, care about them. And somewhere along they way, they become our family. So losing them feels just like losing a family member. Today, I’m heartbroken to have lost a member of my family… 💔

Having a birthday on the winter solstice made me pause and reflect on something today: The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere but the longest in the Southern. So, maybe life is really all about perspective and which way you see it!

Can you believe this?! I put my coffee in the fridge in the break room (because it’s been unseasonably hot in Denver and I didn’t want the milk to be sitting out). I came back 2 hours later to drink it… gone. Who would steal someone else’s half drunk coffee during a pandemic?

Grocery pickup for the 1st time...NOT impressed! Person delivering was not wearing a mask/gloves, stood <6 ft away to me to put groceries in car, didn't get half of what I ordered! Is it really safer to have a stranger doing your shopping or should you do it yourself with PPE?

While statins – a lipid-lowering medication for those who are at high risk of heart disease – work for some, they don’t work for all. As physicians, it’s our responsibility to listen to patients when they share that they aren’t tolerating a medication well. @nationallipid

Human psychology is so interesting, isn't it? The more we tell ourselves how hard it is right now, the harder it feels! Let's try the opposite... focusing on the positives of how social distancing is saving lives everyday and giving us a moment to slow down from our busy lives.

Why do people forget all manners on a plane? Plane etiquette people… if you are the middle seat person… please keep your legs and thighs in your own section! Not ok to encroach into someone else’s space just because they take up less room than you.

A patient told me today that a Colorado hospital system/health system charged $34,000 to Medicare for a test that should be < $1000. @nexton9news @KyleClark maybe you ought to cover this egregious lack of price transparency and creation of monopolies driving up healthcare costs.

How is differential pricing legal for insurance companies to do? Shouldn’t two cardiologists doing the same work in the same area he paid at the same rate? The rate should not vary based on connections or who is in whose pocket! Do you agree?

Some patients have been lying about being immunocompromised so they can go and get a booster shot now. Remember to follow the science…FDA is still reviewing the data so even though we are anxious to protect ourselves we need to be sure we don’t put the cart before the horse.
