@tferriss Great discussion on understanding US healthcare.

Agree that there are improvements that can be made. Cost + access to care will suffer. Denied coverage is typically not a direct cause of death and we need to make sure reviews happen #healthcare

@elonmusk Please reach out to the doctors with boots in the hospital if you want to learn about where military medicine needs more money and where cuts can be made! DoD and DHA are not always agreeing so I recommend getting frontline input instead of legacy, pension perspective

97% of the US Military (~1.3 million) was fully vaccinated by 2022.

The hospitalization rate in 2021 was the 3rd lowest rate of the past decade.

The hospitalization rate in 2022 was the lowest rate of the past decade.

The majority of hospitalizations were related to mental health disorders or pregnancy.

COVID-19 accounted for 1.5% of hospitalizations in 2021 & dropped 70% to under .5% in 2022.

Cancer (neoplasm) hospitalizations in 2020 & 2021 were identical & went down in 2022.

There was no measurable rise in circulatory system, immune disorder or nervous system hospitalizations.

Vaccines are not harming the young & healthy in the USA.

@EODHappyCaptain I would say 100% they need to be on here but more to listen/read and less posting. You can’t make change happen on social media without a crazy following and tons of time wasted on here. Best to use what they read/see when making real world decisions

Cancer among people less than 50 yrs old increased ~80% in the last 30yrs. Diet and lifestyle factors likely to blame. Global trends in incidence, death, burden and risk factors of early-onset cancer from 1990 to 2019 https://t.co/OlylBRkIVk

@hjluks He made it half his life without limb realignment. Meniscus repair can fail at that age even with HTO. Symmetric varus. I don’t push HTO unless asymmetric varus and/or failure of a standard primary procedure. Which RCT are you guys/gals using when you counsel patients like this?

@DrElsterUSUSoM @USUhealthsci @WRNMMC_DHA @USUWR_GenSurg This is great news! Dr. Potter’s wealth of knowledge and experience would be devastating for the MHS to lose!

@hjluks I’m sure I’ll regret this but if one was interested in consulting for VC/startups but isnt on the cold calling list because of military status, how would one get involved?

@AmitMomayaMD @WCInvestor It’s sad that so many dual physician couples feel this way. We try to mentor that there is never a good time so don’t wait. If it’s not residency it’s fellowship, then first year practicing, then, then…

@WCInvestor I’m realizing that mod-lux lifestyle means I won’t retire super early but still way before 59 and 1/2 and I think I’m cool with that
