Baby's first lead. Snapped this to send to my mom, Rita Watson, one of the original female interventional cardiologists. Got a bright color I can ID in a STEMI with a sleeve to protect the left axilla (fellow is the attendings first line of RX defense). #ACCWIC #ACCIC #ACCFIT

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files.

“We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.”

I was recently told that testosterone is required for success in interventional cardiology. Let’s not confuse aggression with ability #ACCIC #cardiotwitter

I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one.

@CardioLloyd @BahaNick16 @VickySellen Yeah needless to say with my genes, two pregnancies, and standing in lead in the Cath lab, this study is not of my own legs!

I was today years old when I first saw a venous valve actually close. #vascular

@goofypremed @wearfigs Is it female physicians who are dumb? Or just DOs? Or just female DOs? What a tone deaf ad.

[Rita Butler, MD @ButlerMd]
