Today was my last graduation, my last year as a trainee, my second fellowship, & the end of 10 years of post-graduate training. I never would have imagined this as the end of my training journey, nor believe places I’ve been along the way.

Keep an open mind, things work out.

👉 @louisianasenate should learn from studies and other states:

Removing the physician from the healthcare team ➡️
❗️Higher healthcare patient costs
❗️Overprescribing
❗️Overutilization of diagnostic imaging
❗️APRNs do NOT gravitate to rural areas

@lalegis #lalege vote NO HB495

[Debra Koss, MD @DrDebKoss]

#lalege @LouisianaHouse: NO on HB495 HB442

Strong evidence: removing physicians from team ⬆️ healthcare costs, overprescribing, overutilization of diagnostic imaging

Multiple studies: irrespective of scope of practice laws, despite ⬆️ APRNs, they have NOT moved into rural areas

[Marilyn Heine @MarilynHeineMD]

👉 Louisiana HB495 HB442:

❗️Remove physicians from diagnosis & treatment
❗️Risk patient safety
❗️Benefit for-profit entities
❗️Do NOT improve access to care
