@TheViditsharma Can you tell us what fuels your mindset? Animals are great in wild. Domesticating them is against the nature too

@GabbbarSingh I was bit by a stray dog while enjoying evening walk. Had to take fucking whole rabies series plus infiltration serum. And still have big scar on my leg. No matter what you say dogs do not belong to streets. Take your dog inside or keep them wild.

In 2023, the U.S. spent approximately $1.35 trillion on healthcare administration. That’s more than we spent on:
•Physician salaries (~$350B)
•Nursing salaries (~$335B)
•Retail prescription drugs (~$450B)
•Imaging, lab tests, EHRs, and outpatient procedures combined
•Even capital investment in hospitals and equipment

All the while, clinicians are being told to “do more with less.”

Every cost-saving initiative aimed at doctors adds layers of compliance and complexity which only fuels the unchecked growth of bureaucracy.

Terrorists launched an attack that killed dozens of Indian citizens. India had every right to retaliate and defend itself.

Pakistan does not get to play the victim. No country gets a pass for supporting terrorist activity.

Medicare Fee Schedule Conversion Factor nosedives after 2020.

COVID was obviously a factor here but there are no signs of improvement either.

Healthcare workers are getting screwed while affordable care vanishes.

Medical billing should start showing how much of the money goes to your doctor.

That might help change public perception.

Medicare Advantage plans got a 5 % raise today. Yet the Doctors, who are the ones who actually care for the patients GET CUT every year. This is RIDICULOUS. https://t.co/D8Xk8tc0mC

Dear @elonmusk, I wanted you to be aware of the racket that goes on in medicine.

To sum it up, here is a case example.

When I fix a distal radius bone fracture - 45 minutes to 1 hr of highly skilled intricate work:

1. Doctor makes 750.
2. Hardware I put in costs 3000 plus roughly 10 screws, each costing 100 bucks
3. The destributor of that hardware makes half on that hardware cost.
4. The manufacturer makes the other half
5. The hospital/ambulatory surgical center makes 6-7x what I make.

I took majority of the risk.
I went to school for 14 years, after high school.
Global period is 90 days during which, I make no money taking care of this patient.
I make no money waking up at night answering patient questions of varying significance, mostly, ones that have already been answered.

Tell me what dumbass will go into medicine now?
