Best @SocietyHospMed moments happen after hours.
Grateful for conversations with Jack & longtime friend/mentor @Azizansari2000

Looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues #SHMConverge25
Excited to partner with @BMcGillenMD on Thursday on Winning Against the Mirage of LOS reduction and with @KenceeMD on Friday on Updates on Primary Pal Med for Hospitalists!
Many doctors on this platform talk about #insurance denials.
I post almost weekly about this. My nurse’s mother fell & has #rehab potential & is being denied. @aboutKP I thought you were better but not so.
Insurance is actually killing people in this country. #MedTwitter
@buckeye_sanjay @ABIMcert@SocietyHospMed@Mud_Fud I switched over in January to hospital medicine. Much more practical. I was getting hammered in the outpatient question last year so I do recommend switching over. I’m old…2024 makes it 20 years being a hospitalist…
Hats off to our awesome SHM Physician Advisor SIG Executive Council Team. Missing many others from the leadership team in this pic! Looking forward to another year of robust learning and engagement!
Being in San Diego and surfing pal med….how could we not slow mo into the room with @KenceeMD to Top Gun theme song. Thanks to @Top_Gundersen for awesome video skills!
Last day of #SHMConverge24 - start it off with @Azizansari2000 and me surfing through the #palliativecare literature at 8:30 in 33ABC. There might be puns. We will definitely talk about nausea, opioids, and goals of care. #surfsup
