@ABsteward@CMIComms@Josh_S_Davis@DrEmilyMcD There was an awesome website called https://t.co/93dkckr73b that was a list of medical eponyms and the story behind them. The medical historian who ran the site, Ole Daniel Enersen, died in 2024.
@Dr_Oubre “All of the rules are in the Tax Code, so why do you pay for an accountant?”
This is followed by “your story helps me know where to look quickly and to weave a more accurate picture.”
@ChronicUTIAus@ABsteward (Lack of) Quality/accuracy of the diagnosis is driving this metric. “UTI” is one of the easiest ICD-10 codes to push through for admission. Hilarious how many lack symptoms or any support for the diagnosis. EMR diagnostic inertia makes it so much worse.
@RIDICULO_pathy Not a surgeon, but couldn’t he have gotten into complications with splenectomy and removed the extreme left edge of the liver as part of the process, and the path report include “liver” in the specimen report??? That makes wayyy more sense than complete hepatectomy.
@reaperracingTM@phlegmfighter I don’t think in the issue is shortage of physicians as much as underutilization of the existing workforce, who spend 1-3x more with the chart than the actual patient. Balance medicolegal and payment concerns beyond documentation and you can uncork the bottle.
