Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.

Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

Here is the word on #physician owned hospital legislation (#poh) from D.C.

It’s turning into a political fight.

One side doesn’t want the other side to win.

Politicians, all of them, have forgotten that legislation is to be debated on its merits, not what wins talking points on @FoxNews and @MSNBC .

The facts are these and they are undisputed.

•Physicians owned hospitals offer the best medical care at the lowest prices.

•The US has 2.5x the spend of the next western country.

•If every hospital had physician owned prices, we’d be 1.25x the rest of the world.

You see, as a general matter, physicians care about patients and their focus is on patient care.

The focus for insurance companies and private equity is return on investment.

Physician owned hospitals ought to be supported by every member of the legislative branch of government.

-Rojas out.

#Healthcare not politics.

It was an absolute privilege to attend the Value Based Healthcare Delivery course at @HarvardHBS. Thanks to @BIDMCVIR for giving us the opportunity to enrich our education. Now it’s time for us to apply what we learned to the field of IR. #VBHD @SIRspecialists

Did you even go to #SIR22BOS if you didn’t tweet about it?

It was such a privilege attending all the fantastic talks and meeting so many incredible people. @SIRspecialists @SIRRFS

@AWBeckMD This scan just got wilder and wilder. Slo Mo scroll for extra effect!

[S. Atif Mustafa, MD @AtifMustafaMD]

We were able to foster greater collaboration between departments, better understand what services other specialties could offer and developed wonderful friendships! All of this is especially important for #IRAD as we become a more clinical specialty. @SIRspecialists @SIR_ECS

[S. Atif Mustafa, MD @AtifMustafaMD]

Completed my month of SICU as a part of the ESIR curriculum & I absolutely loved it. Worked alongside GU, OB/Gyn, EM, gen surg & anesthesia residents where we could all bring our background to the team to provide excellent pt care #SIR #MedTwitter @SIRRFS @MMCRadRes @mmcsurgery
