Thank you to @ryan_spain for meeting with me and @IllinoisAFP to discuss the value of Telehealth services and Prior Auth legislation. And a special thanks for his Birthday shoutout to my little girl on her 10th birthday for her TarWars poster to prevent tobacco use in kids

Flight Attendant: Is there a doctor on board?

Me: What’s up?
Flight Attendant: 3B is having contractions, 12A having chest discomfort, & 36B needs a well child exam.
Me (Fam Med Attending ): We got this, & Who wants to learn how to deliver a baby!? #FMRevolution #FamMedFlex

Do not punish patients for exercising autonomy. We often have no idea what their circumstances are...

Ugh. “Deborah and Dr. Fauci”. Excuse me, it’s Dr. Birx or it’s Tony and Deborah. It is never “Deborah and Dr. Fauci”. Ever.

I am very sad to say we lost an incredible person, friend and dynamic family physician leader early this morning. Dr Dennis Salisbury of Butte MTdied this morning surrounded by his many friends and family. Dennis just made you smile! I celebrate his life today

It’s hard to explain to someone not already doing it, how fun volunteer academy leadership really is. @IllinoisAFP #AAFPFMX #AAFPCOD @FamilyMedPeoria

These evenings chairing the @IllinoisAFP Task Force to Update the Board Policy Manual a really* unique+effective match between work and workers. Who knew updating a policy manual could be done this thoughtfully?

$5400 for our baby who was delivered stillborn, for attempted resuscitation. She wasn’t enrolled in our insurance because she was never alive. From the hospital where I worked as a physician. #medtwitter

[IL Family Physicians @IllinoisAFP]

This would be a GREAT #WorldNoTabaccoDay Action step. Please support this tax that is a $ win and a public health win.

Thank you @SenDuckworth for meeting with @IllinoisAFP #FMAS2019 to discuss solutions to physician shortages in rural and underserved areas. Also, thanks for the candy. This is the second year in a row I will break my Ramadan fasting with candy from your office!

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

I appreciate the visit today from @IllinoisAFP. Thank you for sharing your priorities with me. I look forward to working together to improve our nation’s healthcare system and strengthen the family medicine workforce.

[asim jaffer @asim_jaffer]

Done! Family Medicine is the common sense solution to the health care crisis in this country. #FMAS2019 @IllinoisAFP @FamilyMedPeoria
