This week is National APP Week, and it’s the perfect time to recognize the incredible contributions of our Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). 🤍 From surgeries to patient consultations, research, and beyond, APPs bring immense expertise and compassion to their work every day!

Warren Buffett has said: "I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there’s a deficit of more than three percent of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election." Do you agree with him?

Nothing like a Minnesota Football win to put a spring in our step! Our docs were all smiles on and off the field after the Gophers took down USC this weekend! 💪🏈

The past years have regularly left me in disbelief, but I never imagined Americans marching in favor of terrorists whose goal is to wipe the Jewish homeland & people off the face of the earth.

Coolest engineering achievement of my lifetime. Size of a 20 story building goes to space and lands back safely.

If it wasn’t for SpaceX, the USA would still have two astronauts stranded on the space station left to die. If it wasn’t for Starlink, flood victims would have been left without communication. Democrats want to cancel them anyway, as political retaliation. They are vindictive.

I ordered 12 Optimus robots to give to my fans over the next 12 days… retweet to be entered.

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

As long as physicians don’t unite, the 💩💩💩 will continue.

This is obscene. Here’s a fun little factoid: Since the inception of Medicare (1960) - our healthcare spend has increased 17,900% But physician reimbursement - since 1960 - has DECREASED by 26% (inflation adjusted). Read that again. Yes, that’s correct. You read it right.

I stepped out of a new patient’s consult to have this peer to peer call at the only time offered to me. You may remember an insurance company recently insisting that they’d never interrupt patient care for insurance matters. Reality Check…it happens all the time. The doctor I

Just to remind everyone who really benefited from ObamaCare in 2010. It wasn’t the patients. It wasn’t the doctors. It was the insurance companies. Fraud. Waste. Abuse.

Physicians are inundated with “documentation inquiries” from an external consulting firms. What is happening here? Because of Medicare's Inpatient Prospective Payment System, sicker patients generate higher payments, incentivizing the identification of every comorbidity. Hence

One of the most frustrating answers I hear: “AI will solve it.” No—it won’t. Not when the input is garbage. In medicine, we keep collecting irrelevant, low-quality data… then wonder why nothing improves. For every “quality” metric added, cost goes up…. Some consultant is

This is the best one-paragraph explanation for what's gone wrong with our institutions:

Medicare’s message to doctors: “Do more, get paid less.” 2025 conversion factor: $32.35 2015 conversion factor: $35.93 A decade of cuts while demands explode. This isn’t reform—it’s sabotage. In 2025, the Medicare conversion factor will be lower than it was in 2015. A decade

60 hours. That’s how much administrative work is generated per U.S. physician, every single week. Roughly 9 hours by the doctor, and 50+ hours by staff — just to keep up with the bureaucracy. That’s 60 hours not directed toward patient care. No other developed country comes
