@vanillaopinions You are the problem

@Gebo___ Golf courses have grey water systems and recycle huge amounts of water. Not worth the brain power comparing these things at all

Love that men feel safe enough to be unapologetically gay on twitter

Sophie Cunningham looks 100x worse without clothes on which is hilarious. Keep them pics off my TL.

@realdocspeaks I live in the Bay Area. theres no company that could offer a plan without Stanford or UCSF. There would be no where to get care

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@realdocspeaks Hospitals have local monopolies and therefore all the leverage. If this was your tactic, the hospital would go out of network. If that happened, employees would bring pitchforks to their HR dept and it would quickly get fixed. Broken system, hospitals are the reason

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@JustinWStapley Talk like a normal person dude

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@DrDiGiorgio Only if its managed Medicaid, and even then there are means by which to scrub dead people off. This is disingenuous

@BroncosOutside Because of Phil, we learned that a league cannot exist outside of the PGA. The PGA is emerging from this more powerful and untouchable. Youre a rock

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@BrentAWilliams2 Youre master of the red herring. You never let us down

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@realdocspeaks Private practices have direct agreements with insurers that get renegotiated all the time. There is in fact a whole practice management consulting industry dedicated to this

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@DrDiGiorgio SF is objectively 80% cleaner since Lurie took over. Sure there are pockets, but representing SF as an epidemic of homeless is a tired and no longer true talking point

@_Credible_Hulk Celsius is a great description of how water feels. Fahrenheit is a great description of how human beings feel.

@DutchRojas NEJM study published in 2024 showed actual reimbursed charges for a cancer infusion were 4x at a hospital what they were in private practice. Totally broken system

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@SBlake2000 @real_doc_speaks Pharma companies only capture 50% of the overall total expenditure of a drug. The markups along the way, with the hospital being by far the most egregious, serve no purpose or value and is passed totally on to the consumer

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@DutchRojas Friction is an intentional, cynical part of the system. Payers are the only thing keeping fax machines alive

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@real_doc_speaks Dude you took money from AbbVie. Did you forget openpayments exists?

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

@real_doc_speaks @DutchRojas He absolutely does. That was my point lol

@real_doc_speaks “Patient laws are exploited”

[Former Pharma Guy @FormerPharmaGuy]

Make healthcare management courses a requirement in med school

[Real Doc Speaks @real_doc_speaks]

Pharma needs to stop complaining about the PBMs and stop using them.
