First they came for the Doctors and you did not speak out because you are not a Doctor.Then they came for the Medical interns , and you did not speak out because you are not a Medical intern. Now they are coming for you and there was no one left to speak for you #DoctorsStrikeKE
“Damage to hospitals ability to care for their patients” Hahahahahaha

@EdGainesIII The FTC states "the Commission disagrees with commenters’ contention that all hospitals and healthcare entities claiming tax-exempt status as nonprofits necessarily fall outside the Commission’s jurisdiction and, thus, the final rule’s purview. As explained in Part II.E.2, a…

Earlier today, the @FTC voted 3 to 2 in favor of banning non-compete clauses in all employer/employee contracts, with no exceptions. Along with the vote, the FTC has issued a final rule, finalizing it proposal from January 2023 to ban non-compete clauses. The effective date of…

"Modernized" medicine. 1. Inability to diagnose a very common lesion. 2. No training/education needed on GLP-1 agonists. Prescribe based on whatever pharmacy recommends. 3. WTF is an "exploratory" abdominal ultrasound? It doesn't exist. It's a fictitious term.
I am 100% supporting the strike by ER physicians/PAs at Ascension St. John in Detroit after failed contract negotiations(understaffing, patient safety issues, treatment of physicians/PAs) with none other than that pimp CMG TeamHealth. clickondetroit.com/news/local/202…
🔴 Nurses and Nurse practitioners would never trust an ANP when it comes to their health check ups: ⛔️ They always ask to see a Doctor including their children ⛔️ ANP training is clowny + not far away from PA studies ⛔️ ANPs will never be equivalent to Doctors. #MedTwitter
On March 29 Oklahoma physicians were successful in advocating directly to Governor Kevin Stitt for his veto of SB458 which would have provided for independent practice for APRNs. Become a supporter: buff.ly/3NGB1Rn

@dfreedman7 I wish we would liberalize certification for foreign trained physicians from reputable colleges. I think our own profession's lobbyists screwed us there and now having people with unequal and often poorly regulated training is the standard bandaid in our system
GOOD NEWS Oklahoma docs!! On March 29th, OK Governor Kevin Stitt vetoed SB458, the bill that would have given NPs independent practice. Best statement ever...highlighted in red. THEY MADE A CHOICE. Now they want to move the goalposts. Another governor saw the light. Right on.

The NP degree/title should not exist. The spectrum of NPs I've seen is genuinely concerning, some are excellent and have great bedside manner, others should consider a career outside of medicine. I think their scope should remain limited and supervised under an MD/DO.
@FollowingForFu2 @TakeMedBack @pppforpatients Those kind of fraudulent practices are rife in corporate medicine. Billing totally designed to be opaque & confusing. When I get my bills for my co-pay, visits, radiologic studies, labs, etc. from my VA, it's so simple to follow. I know exactly what I am paying for.
11)The corporate practice of medicine is what matters...because it is hella profitable. @TakeMedBack @pppforpatients
10)@Cigna's CEO, David Cordani, is the 3rd highest paid CEO of a health insurance company. His pay increased from 2021-2022. It's s**t like this that makes that possible. This is Hellcare in America today, ladies and gentlemen. Babies don't matter. Families don't matter.
9)then why not a baby? Nothing like second-guessing a physician's decision sitting behind a desk and tapping a check box in less than a second. Pro-publica wrote an outstanding exposé on Cigna's tactics. propublica.org/article/cigna-…
@DGlaucomflecken The onus is definitely on insurer and hospital, who willingly allowed this to happen. Hopefully Congress will get their act together&pass SMB legislation like HR 3502 which will take patients like you out of the equation! Support HR 3502 for SMB! Talk to ur local Congressperson
8)This is absolute BS @Cigna. Most of us who follow @DGlaucomflecken are aware of Cigna's frequent denials. Hell, if they denied the claim for a physician who was unconscious and critical, thus could not look up whether his insurance @Cigna was in-network, x.com/dglaucomflecke…
7)Now the mother is attempting a 3rd appeal with an outside 3rd party. Taking 2 hours/week to go through her child's records and try to explain the medical necessity of the air ambulance to Cigna. Why is this being left to her when she is not a health care professional?
6)unreasonable expectation but they do it anyway. @Cigna didn't stop there. They blamed the air ambulance company for having the nerve to bill the patient. They are trying so diligently to "resolve this for the family" that they denied the mother's appeal. Twice. This is rich...
5)explain, to the non-medical, non-physician, f***ing insurance company @Cigna, why the f**k an air ambulance is necessary and then look up to see if the air ambulance is in-network. They are out of their cotton-pickin' minds. Insurance companies know this is a highly
2)Unsurprisingly, air ambulance is out-of-network. Mom and Dad get $97K bill. Cigna believes the pt could have gone by ground ambulance & whines that no records show that ground ambulance “would impede timely and appropriate medical care.” If a doc is transferring a patient
