Today my team sat down with our insurance broker. My health insurance premium for my employees went up 30% for our renewal.

The government cut their pay to me and all doctors by 3.37% this year for the first two months then reduced the cut to 1.66% for the remainder of the year.

I’m tired of paid mouthpieces telling Congress and Americans that doctors are the reason for our high healthcare costs. If you agree with me, share this post and let your friends and colleagues know where the money in healthcare is going.

Hint: it isn’t to doctors

Centers with a higher propensity to perform SSRF do not have improved mortality compared to more restrictive centers, but resource utilization is higher. The patient population most likely to benefit from SSRF remains to be defined.

Once again this Memorial Day, we remember the more than 1.3 million U.S. service members who died in service to the country over the years.

Among these were MAJ John Pryor, LTC Mark Taylor, and COL Brian Allgood, all surgeons who were killed in Iraq from 2004-2008. 🇺🇸🪦

Military GSW’s to the colon often require resection. However, fecal diversion, mortality and complications are similar to civilian colon injuries. Military personnel receive high quality care, regardless of national affiliation

This 50yr analysis of injuries on US Navy ships&submarines shows a decrease in the overall incidence rate of casualties. Mortality rates remain high for certain severe injury mechanisms. Training, technology & process improvement solutions are proposed

I’m watching #Painkiller on @netflix and it reminds me of the day the salesmodel tried to sell me fentanyl lollipops for pedi burns. I told her to get the f&@k out of my office and don’t come back. Sackler family belongs in jail.
