Another insurance denial. Another patient put at risk. We did everything right. My PA saw a patient with signs of a Deep Venous Thrombosis (a dangerous blood clot). We ordered an ultrasound, confirmed the diagnosis, and prescribed the medication to help prevent dangerous

People would be appalled to know that now insurances pay a doctor less than what a plumber charges to come to your house. I got paid $65 by a HMO for 40 mins of my time to manage a complex patient! This is before any of my overhead!

Today all of my healthcare friends on #medtwitter and all my Catholic friends with families on #CatholicX need John C. Bogle Center for Financial Literacy. You’re welcome.

Dear Elon Musk, I wanted you to be aware of the racket that goes on in medicine. To sum it up, here is a case example. When I fix a distal radius bone fracture - 45 minutes to 1 hr of highly skilled intricate work: 1. Doctor makes 750. 2. Hardware I put in costs 3000 plus

Sometimes I think the American healthcare system would completely collapse if residents didn’t exist as cheap labor. Imagine if residents were paid the same wage as APPs. Most will argue residents are paid trainees but hospitals don’t decrease APPs wages when they’re learning

When they tell me the patient has been on continuous antibiotics for 10 years to prevent UTIs and nobody tried vaginal estrogen.

The insurance company denied a stay for a surgery without even knowing what the surgery IS. My patient and I are planning a DIEP flap breast reconstruction and I want her to stay inpatient for monitoring for more than 23 hours. I am an expert in microsurgery and have done this
