Hi Paul,
One year on my achilles tendon which you repaired exactly a year ago has made a great recovery. My muscle rehab guy who has worked with a lot of olympic athletes, says it is the best achilles repair he's seen. I was able to resume competitive sailing within three months

We live in a society that loves feel good stories about people coming together to help members of their community that are in need, but scoff at the idea of building a system based on that very same concept.

2002 study comprised of 537,303 children showed no association between MMR vaccine and autism.

The study was conducted in Denmark, a country with socialized health care, so antivaxers can't cry "big pharma".

But no, let's ignore it anyway because...you know...feelings.

The false link between vaccines & autism was fabricated by Andrew Wakefield so he could make money.

•A payout from lawyers who had recruited parents to sue vaccine manufacturers.
•He wanted to sell his own MMR vaccine.
•He was planning to sell fake “autism tests”

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

The whole nonsensical idea that they MMR vaccine causes autism (it does not) was ignited by a single, garbage, fraudulent paper published by @TheLancet in 1998.

Yet it has stuck.

Publishing that trash remains an indelible disgrace for which I will never forgive that journal.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Vaccines don't cause autism.

It doesn't need "looking at" because it has been..repeatedly...many times by many people and the answer is crystal clear.

Vaccines do not cause autism.

Dragging up this debunked theory is a waste of time, money and energy.

[independent physician @independentMDs]

The recent lobbyist funded psyop to target physician pay has been useful in revealing the response of physicians (who have been largely surprised by the attack) -- that we sacrificed a lot, work really hard, and care about our patients.

As it turns out, nobody cares.....

This is massively misleading to bundle physician fees and hospital fees together…

Literally, physicians are paid “professional fees” and hospitals are paid “facility fees”, the latter of which is many multiples what the physicians are paid.

Case in point: A 99285, which is the highest complexity ER visit, professional fee (to the physician) is 4.00 workRVUs, or $134 by the current Medicare conversion factor ($33.88/RVU). The Medicare conversion factor has been cut year over year.

In contrast, the facility fee to the hospital is on average $1800, and has increased 531% over the past 17 years…

We are literally fractions of the cost.

[Real Doc Speaks @realdocspeaks]

The moment Alex, or someone in his family, has a medical emergency, he will pray that there is a dedicated and brilliant physician available to provide life-saving care at 3 am on Christmas.

That is what we do; we don't do it because you like us or you respect us, we do it because that is our profession!

"Healthcare consultant" thinks doctors make over $40M/year

In actuality, United Healthcare makes over $41,000,000/hr

And we spend over $850B in healthcare administrative costs

[Noah Kaufman, MD @noahkaufmanmd]

We need to take medicine back. For our patients.

We need a movement and we need organization.
