Dr. Eisen says if Medicaid is cut people will flood the ER and his health system won’t survive. Let’s be real, Doc. Health systems like Valley Health System aren’t bleeding from Medicaid, they’re bathing in it. In 2024, their parent company, UHS, pulled in over $1 billion in

🎯 Counterintuitive but true — access for 1º care would improve if everyone wasn’t a slave to the insurance middleman

It’s interesting— continuing to recommend boosting young men with the covid vaccine in 2025, recommending paxlovid universally , among many, many other non evidence based decisions made by our prior public health elite didn’t elicit the same response.

No question. Any physician that solicited in this manner with federal payments as your reward would be in big trouble pretty quickly.

Like clockwork. 2 additional cardiac amyloidosis drugs come on scene, and we are suddenly awash in messaging about looking for cardiac amyloid.

I agree with this 100% and would add that health insurance should also not cover: • Imaging • Labs • Generic Drugs • Procedures • Physician services This would move patients away from expensive hospital-delivered services and toward inexpensive, free-standing services.

Meet F-15E pilot Captain Brian Udell… Capt Udell is in the dark on a moonless night, huddling a partially-inflated life raft in the chilly Atlantic, bleeding out. His body is mostly useless…he has just survived an ejection faster than “Mach 1”. But only barely & his back

Last night, a little after midnight, I had to call 911 to report an intruder on my floor who got violent, threatened to "beat the shit out of me," lunged at me twice, and came within inches of forcing his way into my condo which is in the Byward Market. It took three police

An aortic prosthesis placed in 1972 which I had to remove almost five decades later in order to gain access for an MVR. It was functioning perfectly. Open AVR on a young patient with a mechanical prosthesis through a full sternotomy is a great operation.

For those of you wondering what amazing things you are missing out on by not living in New Jersey, the state sold its EZ pass system to China and now almost every cell phone in NJ is being phished from an international number. True story. Fun times! 🫠 New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy
