At my yearly physical, I asked my doc if we could include ApoB in lipid panel. He asked “why? That’s genetic and can’t be changed.” 😳
I asked for HbA1C and he said “so you think you have diabetes?!” 🤦🏼♀️
And people wonder why it’s so hard to advocate for yourself as a patient.
Ady Barkan was an inspiration to all of us. There are very few people in this country who have done more to make health care a human right. To honor his life, let us dedicate ourselves to completing his work.
@Uber may this be my last tweet ever. I’ve spent an hour trying to get help and your app is just BS FAQs. I didn’t chose to have a broken leg. Tell that to your driver who asked how I managed to get off the plane but wouldn’t come to pick me up. Done. Lyft from here.
@bugcounter@benjaminchapman a year later, I’ve gotten a good finished project (despite what it looks like) with my cashew blue cheese using p. Roquforti. This time I laco-fermented the cashews and got a ph of about 4.3.
The taste is amazing! (I’m still alive 24 hours later)
“I have a client who is a 9th grader. I also have a client who was accused of smuggling for driving his uncle in a car. Most of our clients are not actually concealing or hiding people but are arrested for solely driving undocumented people in their vehicles in the border area.”
KP’s strike is hugely important. It’s a reflection on how broken care delivery economics and culture are. And it’s amplified by KP’s sophistication: best care experience I’ve had, & epitome of failed culture.
To be clear, I stand with KP’s nurses, workers, and providers.
@katarinabatina When I was hiring I never asked for a portfolio and would never think about a “trial project”. If we were having the conversation, then it was about culture fit. I assume you can do the work you say you can.
Today would have been @roseperson’s birthday. I keep it on my calendar as a reminder she was here, she was a friend, & she made an amazing dent on the world. Her passion for health equity came from deep inside & was a huge inspiration for me & countless others. We miss you Deb!
@abrewi3010 one thing that helps me is to go somewhere like Pintrist and search for styles you like. Then see if you can figure out what about them you like.... could be fonts, or lay out, or colors...
For $3,695 you too can be part of elevating healthcare to create a better future for all Consult your patient service rev to know if it's right for you!
That said, I'll happily come give a talk on innovating past end stage fee for service, private market sick care
