MISADVENTURES IN AMERICAN HEALTHCARE

1. Doctor orders scan that's clearly indicated for patient & which they've had many times before (allowing for apples-to-apples comparison)

2. Despite order weeks in advance, receive denial day-before from insurer without any explanation

[Adam Burr @AdamBurr8]

@SamLubner Could not agree more.

Parking validated at uw with free spots above the linac while on treat. 3.50 per hour would be a huge issue for our rural patients, some of whom struggle to make it in for fractionated treatments, as is.

[Fumiko Ladd Chino, MD, FASCO @fumikochino]

"Average parking costs were $3.55/hr (median $2, range 0-$15), $7.79/day (median $5, range 0-$40). 20 centers (32%) offered completely free parking for pts."

2/3 of NCI centers were charging #cancer patients for PARKING & those costs can ADD UP #ASCO20

The ride at uw on September 27 won't happen in person but there will apparently be many routes to ride around the u.s. Looking forward to riding with the uw alum, even if rmitbis remote. Should be fun. @TimothyKruserMD @jeffreybrower2 @vinaigondi @EmilyDunnMD

@adapthyun @WashURadOnc During chart rounds, you don't have time to think. If you think, you're dead.

I had to kick the tires and light the fires this morning before conference headed into the danger zone.

Someone was eating chips during Grand rounds today, too. Lots of growing pains. Hope your students appreciated the comedic timing of your son

Agree or disagree with recs?

For us at uw, srs is stable to increased. New sbrt cases have dried up presumably due to no biopsies but locally advanced is up. Overall, the link service is busier than average

I hope not because then we have to do this over again. There was no #Social_Distancing. But glad matrix seems to be on TV more during crisis #Matrix

[Randall Kimple @KimpleRandall]

anyone else think when the COVID threat is passed and restrictions lifted there's gonna be party like at the end of the Matrix movies?

"...the Court's order, I fear, will result in massive disenfranchisement," Ginsburg wrote. "A voter cannot deliver for postmarking a ballot she has not received." Couldn't have said it better. Won't be voting this time.
