Ok hear me out.

Yes, things are dire right now. I agree.

Even still…

I truly believe that with this ruling—and so many other disturbing, dystopian sociopolitical moments in recent years—we are witnessing the last dying gasp of the white supremacist cis-heteropatriarchal regime in real time.

This is their last hurrah.

The world is different now, and they can’t contain positive change.

Our progress is inevitable.

As I wrap up my 5th year of #primarycare practice, I can't help but reflect on the TEN "sparks" trainees may miss out on during residency that make this work so rewarding.

A 🧵of #gratitude...

@purityjthomas It took about a week between request to fulfillment and then another few days until the tickets could be claimed

As we learn more and more about how financial forces & profit motives drive our hospitals, exploit workers, and harm patients, @sanjaykishore31 and I often wondered: who is actually in charge of our health systems?

To shed light, we looked at the boards of top US hospitals.

@sacjai United Healthcare

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

4.8 billion in profit in Q4 2022 and @UHC cannot fucking wait to stop covering expensive medications that keep you alive.

Thank you for just saying it like it is.

May your 2023 be filled with less prior auths

[Robert Oubre, MD | The Doctor of Documentation @Dr_Oubre]

• United Health will PROFIT about $22.3 billion this year.
• 50% of hospitals will lose money this year.
• 47% of US healthcare workers plan to leave within the next 3 years.

That is the current state of US healthcare, and it should terrify everyone.

Spotify wrapped is cool and all but what I really want is an EPIC wrapped.

“You spent 7823 minutes writing discharge summaries.”

“Your most prescribed medication was zosyn.”

“You ordered 237 unnecessary chest radiographs.”

@tswifterastour Denver either dates, 2 tickets!

[Amy D. Lu, MD, MAS @ADLdoc]

I feel like @Ticketmaster should change it’s profile caption to “I’m the problem, it’s me.” #TaylorSwiftErasTour

@georgenh_ @aalthans @BrooketheOstomy It’s also the worst bc it’s in MUH…

@TMJohnsonMD What I took away from the last episode was that we could have avoided a lot of trouble with **NAME ALERT**

[Amy D. Lu, MD, MAS @ADLdoc]

If only #HouseOfTheDragonHBO had **NAME ALERT** 🚨…

@PaulNWilliamz We usually expect residents to finish notes so preceptors can give direct feedback right after their session. Also residents each have 1 session per week on task management where they address their team’s inbasket tasks

“We are finding that #physicians are often doing uncompensated work. People are trying to do what matters, but if what matters isn’t being valued by the payment system, that causes moral distress. I hope future models of payment key in on this.”- @FutureDocs @Health_Affairs
