@chrissyfarr It’s not that simple. In addition to renewals a provider has to be enrolled with payors in 30 states and deal with 30 reimbursement rules/denials. NOT scalable and HUGE source of burnout.

@Jason As an ex-founder, I saw how VCs were one of the most intellectually lazy people. They did not have the mental stamina to understand the product. All they do is just profile the founders and follow other investors. Very lazy!

@DrGrahaMDixon Congratulations! Your experience is invaluable to a lot of people right now. You are in position of power, please reach out to them and tell them how you felt. They won’t reach out to you so please reach out to them.

@DrHughHarvey Pple, get real. Failure is failure. Iove the question. How many companies that XYZ VC invested in failed? How much money was lost per company? What were the demographics of the founders? VCs never want to admit to failure but they fail a lot more than they admit to founders.

In a win for telehealth, congress will include a months-long extension of telehealth flexibilities in a package to fund the government. According to a draft, Medicare will cover an array of telehealth services for at least 151 days after the end of the public health emergency.

Proud of the work of our @HopkinsMedicine telemedicine team, including great leaders @hhughes_md and @rebecca_canino!

@Lacktman @arwmd @stacy_hurt @HelenBurstin @iamritu @jameyedwards @theviveevent POS. It makes no sense to require a provider or a patient to be at ‘an approved site’ 4 telemedicine visit. Providers & patients should be allowed to be home for the visit. That’s what telemedicine should be. It’s dumb to have people drive to a hospital for telemedicine visit.

@DR_KMP @JHSPH_HPM @JohnsHopkinsSPH You are truly an inspiration. Not just for girls but for boys too. I dearly respect you and your accomplishments. You are a force of nature! Super excited for you.

@DarrelFrater WYSIWYG. It’s real. Investors are people and people are biased, racist, have phobia, etc.
The only way to feel better is to keep going so you can prove them wrong. In these moments I listen to ‘try everything’ by Shakira. Don’t give up.

@chrissyfarr It’s not personal, it’s age appropriate. 4 months from now, you will be like ‘say Dada!!’
