Many of my Republican colleagues champion “merit” - meeting basic standards for a job. The Surgeon General MUST be a member of the USPHS Commissioned Corps. To serve as a physician in the Corps, you MUST hold an active medical license. I -and every prior SG- was held to that standard. If the administration lowers (or creates a back door around) those standards, and the Senate confirms Casey Means (who has let her license go inactive and didn't complete residency), they undermine every argument they've made about merit, standards, and opposing “DEI” shortcuts. 🤷🏽‍♂️

As a former U.S. Surgeon General who held an active medical license and practiced medicine while in the role (at Walter Reed and aboard the USS Comfort) it is incomprehensible that the Senate is even considering a nominee for this role who lacks any active license and has never

@bcatleagle I’m kind of happy he is annoyed here. Annoying loss- before CFP we’d be done for. Just need to take care of ACC business. This loss will mean nothing

Every professional organization in medicine should denounce the involvement of private equity in healthcare. They should send a clear message to their young physician members that PE is bad for hospitals, private practices, and patients. They won’t do it, but they should.

If you think physicians are overpaid, maybe you should take the necessary course work in undergrad, take and pass the MCAT, apply for med schools, pay hundreds of thousands for tuition, learn for 4 years in a very high pressure learning environment, then pay thousands more to apply for a training job that you may or may not get, then if you do get it, you get to work 80 hours a week making $15/hour for 3 - 9 years wherein more than one day off in a row is a rarity, all the while many normal life events and processes get pushed to the side, then you FINALLY get a “real” job that’ll pay very well but you’ll realize your patients are not your customers (the insurance companies are), they are the product, and you’ll realize you have a lot to learn about the business of medicine in order to advocate for your patients and for yourself in order to be okay. Then YOU can say “no thanks I don’t deserve to make that much.” Or you can just skip all of that, realize now that the insurance and hospital system complexes are trying to hoodwink you, and appreciate the life work and care physicians commit to all of us, recognizing that while all things in medicine play a role in what we see today, physicians themselves are not the villain. They are on our side.
