I see a bunch of y'all are fleeing to Bluesky. How is it? Should I come? Tips/tricks? Can I replace FB, Insta, and/or Xitter w/it? I don't want to maintain accts on a million social sites. Anyone already using more than one Bluesky profile (eg professional & personal)?

Great event yesterday with authors and patient advocates @r_prior and @StrongHauler at @SeminaryCoop. Listening to super smart folks talking about healthcare is one of my favorite things!

[Melissa Hicks - 710.9 @710dot9]

Looking forward to seeing @r_prior's author talk this Saturday at @SeminaryCoop! If you're in the Chicago area, join me! And if you're not, you should still check out Ryan's book, The Long Haul.

@AliNeitzelMD Thank you, Dr. Neitzel. I appreciate your work, and was particularly moved by how openly you shared about your mother and your relationship with her. 💙

This idea that just because someone is doing good in the world or is recognized on the internet, they should do that work for free is…wild. Doing good and being compensated for work are not mutually exclusive.

[Amy Faith Ho, MD MPH @amyfaithho]

Responsibility with no authority is the most demeaning thing…and it’s the story of healthcare.

Clinicians have responsibility to answer their patients’ questions…but no authority to book patients for more than 10-minute visit lengths. That’s the time squeeze set by admin/corporations running the clinic…

Patients have responsibility for their health…but no authority over the resources they need to better it — specialist visit? Need a referral. Medication? Need prior auth. Surgery? Out of network…

Clinicians have responsibility for patient satisfaction, but no authority to fix staffing shortages, long wait times, dirty bathrooms…again, third parties hold the power (and the budget) to fix those issues…

Healthcare works together as a team, but we’ve unfortunately allowed our authority to be stolen by third parties: insurance, corporations, private equity, etc…the misbalance between power and responsibility is where we are all left disenfranchised. No wonder burnout is so prevalent, for clinicians and patients both.

@CarlyRM @daycalligraphy I've consistently been able to get 4-6 pairs of specs from Zenni for what my optometrist's office charges for 1 pair.

Cheers to the delivery guy who saw me out of my wheelchair and asked, "should I say congratulations?" I said, "nah, I'm in and out as I need it. It's a helpful tool." He responded, "oh ok!"

Nondisabled ppl, learn to ask rather than assume or project. It really is that easy.

@DGlaucomflecken I'd be happy to wait for an appointment under a single payer system because other people needed care more than I do. I don't like waiting for an appointment under the US "healthcare system" where I am waiting because other people have more $$$ or better insurance.
