To be abundantly clear: we did not change the rigorous standard for becoming a certified air traffic controller. Those claiming otherwise are mistaken or lying.
We did increase funding & training, and grew the ATC workforce after years of declining numbers, including under Trump.

@RepGregMurphy I have paid all my student loans back over 300k initially at 7% interest. The government did not pay for my education and should not mandate how long I have to work in a system that is literally killing us. Look up suicide rates and life expectancy of ED docs)

@RepGregMurphy I’m EM and practicing 12 years full time. We are burned out and morally injured by this system that doesn’t protect us. Reimbursement that has not kept up with inflation, decreased autonomy, corporate control over medicine, arbitrary metrics that don’t improve quality of care….

@jk_rowling Thank you for your nuanced and common sense voice.

@SethDavisHoops Go Wolfpack, Go Duke and GTHC…..

@JeromeAdamsMD What was your presenting complaint? We base our workup off of your symptoms. Just curious if your presenting complaint was “I’m dehydrated and just need fluids” which is very different than I’m feeling weak, having difficulty speaking, have altered mental status, etc. EM Doc.

@RobertKennedyJr Can you research your shares before posting. As someone who want to be president, you should know how to fact check better and provide context.

A quick reminder of our emergency services holiday hours of operation (EMS, FD, ER, Police, etc)

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

[8/8] We stand with emergency physicians and will keep pushing back on this misinformation that endangers patients and harms our health care safety net.

Thank you to all the emergency care teams working around the clock to save lives today and every day.

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

[7/8] Speaking out early, @EMSwami laid out the flaws in the coverage of this report and reviewed what it misunderstands or ignores: "Lazy reporting w/ headlines lacking nuance only serves to undermine the public trust + demonize clinicians" https://t.co/48c7L6keM5

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

[6/8] "one expert contributing to an internal review of the report prior to its publication found a 'fatal flaw' in the methodology"

@jeremyfaust wrote about the “preposterous” nature of the report's findings: https://t.co/51pO0MI32o

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

[5/8] We aren't the only ones who see this study for what it is: an unfair vilification of emergency care. Our medical and research communities are pushing back.

Hear from @kmpanthagani about the report's “statistically terrible” methodology: https://t.co/i8xoEseMwD

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

[4/8] This report isn't emergency medicine.

Emergency physicians are the devoted professionals whose EDs are open 24/7/365, working tirelessly this holiday season despite the added challenges of a severe boarding and staffing crisis.

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

[3/8] Together we warned about the public health danger of the report: "The repercussions of this faulty report cannot be overstated, as it will irresponsibly and falsely alarm the public and potentially lead them to delay or even forego treatment for time sensitive emergencies."

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

[2/8] Prior to the AHRQ report's publication, we warned them that its findings were dangerously misleading, but they ignored our concerns.

Which is why EM came together to release this joint letter: https://t.co/TywXgRJ2Tx

[Emergency Physicians @EmergencyDocs]

Spreading misinformation about the safety of emergency care is irresponsible and dangerous.

We reached out to @CNN about its coverage of AHRQ's flawed study re: diagnostic errors. They edited their story, but they're still recklessly sensationalizing these findings. [1/8]🧵

[Kat Moore MD FACEP @LeeKatMoore]

@dfreedman7 Pretty divisive post. I think most physicians value their APPS and want transparency and patient safety. Please read Patient's At Risk. WE should all advocate for patient safety and physician led teams including APPs. Much more than anecdote at this point.
