A physician who spends 20 minutes with a patient is considered wasteful.
A hospital that runs 14 committees to approve a formulary change is considered rigorous.
We have confused process with value and called it reform.

Mainstream media crying foul that podcast Bros got taken for a ride by Trump is less about a politician using media for their own gain – and more about the fact that mainstream media is completely irrelevant. Ppl don’t believe them and don’t care for CNN! @esaagar @andrewschulz

I saw a cancer patient today who had to switch insurance for cancer care. The new insurance forced her to drop her primary care doc. Her blood sugar is 600 today. Does anybody give a F? Nope, bc congress is bought and paid for. #sickcare# not #healthcare#

Physicians' Medicare pay rates have dropped 33% over 20 years, and Congress has ignored inflation adjustments, prior authorization reforms and rising care costs, according to the American Medical Association. Fixing healthcare is easy, ask any MD how @elonmusk @RobertKennedyJr

Herein lies the problem. Insurers think their function is to police healthcare outcomes / patient safety, while their delay, deny, defend tactics harm millions daily. How about leaving outcomes and safety to the doctors and patients and #UnitedHealth# focuses on paying claims?

Do CON laws still increase access to care? @MassGovernor. #StewardHealth#. Turns out physicians are the best stewards of healthcare, not corporations.
ACP joins the fray, sending a “we’re watching” letter to US internists as they try to decide what they should do about ABIM and the harms time-limited certification has had on US internists.

Site of service.
Carpal Tunnel procedures are performed thousands of times per day in an in-office setting.
Meanwhile Medicare wants them in a hospital, to pay their health system partners.
The price paid for this and other procedure ought to be dependent on the outcomes, not where it’s performed and which type of benefit plan the patient is covered under.
Billions of dollars are being misallocated due to site of service.
When this changes BILLIONS will be returned to taxpayers and members of health plans.

@JackieSham My favorite is when my doctors try to explain to me (triple boarded doctor) that their midlevels are just as good. If you're not better than a midlevel despite all those extra years of training, I need a new doctor.

As a patient, I carry an A4 sheet of paper with me that tells people about me, with my treatment details.
I am increasingly thinking that I should add that I don’t want to be scoped and anaesthetised by a non-doctor. 🤔
