I don’t believe the “40% of med students don’t plan to practice” stat…but even if I did, here’s some more relevant stats.

- the government has cut RVU reimbursement year over year, while inflation has only increased…in the past few years alone we took a double digit pay cut because of government @MedicareGov reimbursement when adjusted for inflation

- private equity has taken over healthcare, fairly unchecked. This results in bad patient care, unstable healthcare markets and poor working conditions for physicians…

-healthcare administrators have grown 3800% versus physician #s growing 200% since the 70s. This represents declining physician autonomy and an overwhelming administrative burden…much of which is created by government programs like CMS “Quality Measures” which are less about care quality and more about gamesmanship and documentation burden

- insurance companies have a chokehold on the finances of healthcare…and their lobby dollars fund the congressmen who help keep them in power and allow them to continue to squeeze physicians and patients both

How ‘bout you work on some of those issues, Congressman…and get back to the med students after you do?

I’ve been seeing a lot of people quoting stats that show more athletes died in the last year than have died in the last 38 years. Is this true? No, let’s chat about it. A 🧵👇🏻

Former Denver Broncos running back, Ronnie Hillman, died yesterday at age 31 of renal medullary carcinoma. We spoke with CU Cancer Center member @cost_nicholas, an associate professor of @CU_Urology, to learn more about this rare type of kidney cancer. https://t.co/v4RCs43ZMf

The Opioid epidemic: An American horror story created and propagated by physicians. It happened before, it happened here and it’ll happen again unless we learn our lesson. A must read. https://t.co/d0wDeUg9EF
