#GeneChat Still confused on what the CPT code change means for #geneticcounselors? One major (and exciting) change is that it expands the role of the genetic counselor. #genechat #precisionmedicine

What it’s like to be in healthcare right now:
“We will pay you $2 for that pie”

“But it costs me $4 in pie ingredients and $2 in human labor to make a pie. We need $6 to break even”

“Sorry, we’ll only pay you $2 for that pie. We suggest you make many more pies that you also sell for $2/pie. New requirement is 6 pies/day”

“But then we are still losing $4 per pie. How does making more pies help us?”

“We just found out flour is on shortage so you’ll have to buy more expensive imported flour and will lose $5 per pie. Or you can consider making pies without flour.”

“But I can’t make pies if we keep losing money on pies. And I can’t make pies without flour”

“We suggest you ditch rolling pins and remove any fruit filling as a cost saving measure. And consider limiting how much time you bake the pie for to use less oven time”

“But then how can I even make a pie that resembles a pie?”

“We appreciate the question and have no response. We empower YOU to solve this problem. We have scheduled 4 meetings to discuss how you can make more pies with less ingredients and less oven time and less labor”

“But it seems the root of the problem here is actually that we don’t get reimbursed fairly for our pies…”

“Don’t say that out loud. Please get back to making pies with no filling and no flour and no rolling pins and be sure to attend the meetings.”

Great talk by @daphmarts on student desire for more bioethics education. In addition to legal coverage also want the other part of ELSI - how to conduct research in an ethically and socially responsible way. Link to publication https://t.co/1IDEaF1EaQ
