#medicalerrors #medicalerror See how my life changed after my sister passed after medical errors - my Tedx https://t.co/Y5skLRkPje

@Rarcherarcher I started at 37. I did internal med then occupational med - my previous career was in safety engineering. Considered pathology too. Ok to DM me. Good luck and congrats....

@GavinPrestonMD Imagine how I was told? By the portal...yep. It was sent midday. He never even tried to call me - just asked who I wanted to be referred to. And in the end -I did not have cancer. (Professional courtesy?? I’m a MD) He’s no longer MY doctor

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

Please please do the right thing this Thanksgiving.

[NeighborsTaken @NeighborsTaken]

Keep these faces in mind as you finalize your Thanksgiving plans this year.

@wspusa Can you please help? Provided services in July 2020, still unpaid in Portland OR. Sent invoice numerous times, left vm's - have heard nothing Can you help us get this paid?

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

@wsp, need some help with an invoice that has never been paid. Call your offices and no one answers. Left msg's. Can you please help me? Services provided in July 2020 - reached out four times. No one has called us back.

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

@chrisguillebeau Maybe doing it could be a side hustle??

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

Yep, I agree @chrisguillebeau ....

[Chris Guillebeau @chrisguillebeau]

I’m sure I’ve been more nervous at some point in my life, but I don’t remember when.

@tcymet Really enjoyed the caliber of folks at the #OMED2020 conference. Great questions.

@ChauvinHe Some feel the same way about employee opinion surveys... I had a boss tell our workgroup our opinions were wrong...I guess he expected 5 out of 5s too

[Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO @marklewismd]

What’s always struck me is that, when I first suspected I had cancer, I was told I was a hypochondriac

I’m ashamed to admit it but the only reason I got properly diagnosed is that I’m a doctor and was able to invoke some professional courtesy

Many patients are not so fortunate

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

Although directed towards the NHS, the same holds true for US healthcare systems...

[BMJ Patient Editor @BMJPatientEd]

"We are deeply concerned that the voice of patients in the design of services is being lost. As services re-start, we urge you to ensure time and space is available for service leaders to engage with patients, service users and families" @PointofCareFdn https://t.co/PMtbpzkXiB

[Don Berwick @donberwick]

We owe Dr. Fauci a great debt. He deserves this strong statement of support.

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

@EdyeHoffmann Those are BIG questions!

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

Imagine showing up to the hospital ill, where you had an implant placed in your heart four months earlier, and no one can locate those procedure records?

'Silence Can Be Deadly: Speak up for Safety in a Pandemic.' Actually, I would go much further. Silence can be deadly whenever one does not speak up for safety in healthcare - the pandemic just makes it worse

ZDoggMD makes many valid points as to why healthcare institutions are not trustworthy.

For me, I believe that when we open ourselves to learn from error we create space for lasting Improvement

@KeyBank_Help Tried that - really unhelpful - said it is a corporate program and they do not know anything.

[Carol Gunn @CarolEGunn]

@KeyBank_Help In my PPP application, I am not able to save my home address - I type it in, hit save, then go back and verify, and it is a mix of my home and business address. Tried to delete, tried a new owner. No luck. Can’t sign an inaccurate document. Thoughts?
