One of the most important ideas we can teach or pass along is the humility to accept and admit we were wrong.

Nothing is further from the spirit of evidence-based medicine than becoming so entrenched in our ways that we refuse to consider new data.

@ciirarref Where I used to work, we had a professionalism committee. The clerkship and eventually the committee should be aware. And conversations should be documented. Would check with the clerkship on their procedure 🤷🏻‍♂️. Maybe needs to go through clerkship director?

1/Do radiologists sound like they are speaking a different language when they talk about MRI?

T1 shortening what? T2 prolongation who?

Here’s a translation w/an introductory thread to MRI.

@ashwinrajenesh Once responded to a request for medical help. They didn’t have a glucometer. I asked flight attendant to ask the plane on intercom. Not a single person offered one 🤦🏻‍♂️

Too many urinalysis get ordered in the emergency department without a valid clinical indication. I said what I said.

The culture of medicine needs to improve.

This article was hard to read. Because I know so many more patients out there who are going through similar things.

I can’t count the number of peer-to-peer phone calls I have had to do — where I have other figure out where toe squeeze in this phone call (usually in between patients or during lunch) — where I essentially read my progress note to the insurance’s medical director.

I am glad he fought back. I wish more people had the means to do so.

The system is broken.

Insurance wants to say that treatment decisions are between a patient and their doctor. But when they won’t pay for a treatment, they are inserting themselves right into the middle.

Provider: “We’re going to try and discharge you today if X, Y, and Z”

Non-English speaking patient: “No English”

Provider: “Well, I only speak English! So, as I was saying…”

Just…WHAT?!

Weird times. Weird weather here in SoCal. Stay safe everyone.

Unfortunately the more “experience” I get in the practice of medicine in the current US system, the more I feel like we have it wrong. Huge panels, short amount of time per visit, limited access, frequent PCP changes all make it difficult to provide lasting health changes.

Moment of weakness last night — or early this morning.

Got some Taco Bell at around 12:30 AM. Quick, fast, comfort food that left me feeling regret.

Sharing this in transparency.

If you’re a patient of mine, I get the struggle with making less than optimal health choices.

Important point about the use of semaglutide — this isn’t a strategy for quick weight loss for that “summer bod.”

It’s part of a long stern strategy that involves doing multiple things to achieve your health goal. #weightloss #obesity #medtwitter https://t.co/skpzqQiK3d
