@DrSiyabMD @jasonryanmd I definitely agree that’s a major element of it

[Alex Pribanich, MD @AlexPribanich]

@jasonryanmd Maybe a family member had a poor outcome? Maybe an encounter with a bad physician? Maybe buying into strong misinformation about the profession? Those are my guesses. I agree, it would be interesting to interview these people to hear their path towards this opinion

[Alex Pribanich, MD @AlexPribanich]

@jasonryanmd I feel some people do truly believe in this mindset, but I don't know where it stems from exactly. It's far more extreme than the common distrust online. Maybe similar origins, but there's no clear catalyst I can see that causes it

@BrianSuttererMD Nice work! It’s incredible how easy and rewarding it is to build personal tools w/ things like Claude Code, Antigravity, etc

[Alex Pribanich, MD @AlexPribanich]

@DavidBursteinMD @drjohnm Would this sort of physician level tailoring be allowing something similar to Claude skills to be built into Open Evidence?

@AxiomMath 5/ I care about that because life isn’t an optimization problem to be solved. It’s about depth of experience and meaning.

I’m sharing an actual recent peer-to-peer call that shows what physicians and patients face when trying to get a surgery approved. This call felt as absurd as it sounds.

The peer-to-peer call was to advocate for surgery to prevent and treat lymphedema for a patient with breast cancer. Her risk is high and we can perform a surgery to lower it.

The doctors from the insurance company on the call were an ophthalmologist with a subspecialty in oculoplastic surgery and a plastic surgeon who currently has a cosmetic practice. Neither doctor has ever performed lymph venous bypass…the surgery I was trying to get approved for my patient.

Neither doctor would provide their name or license number.

At the conclusion of the call, the doctors told me that they didn’t have the power to make a determination or decision to perform the surgery. They were just there to inform me of United’s decision to deny it.

The Medical Decision was not up to the doctors on the call. It had already been made by United.

So here I am, appealing again.

Medical decisions should be made by doctors who are well informed and patient-centered. Patients deserve access to the care that they paid for with their premiums.

@jasonryanmd This is why I find the AMBOSS GPT to be so beneficial because it pretty much eliminates these hallucinations/mistakes

@mkeBucks11 @BrianSuttererMD I haven’t seen him labeled with that diagnosis either but it would definitely make sense

@camjchappell @jasonryanmd That’s the experience I had on my rotation as well. Try to educate but it’s better at the end of the day to keep them in some form of medical care than to drop them as patients
