It bothers me that so many non-physicians make suggestions on how to fix #PhysicianBurnout. Walk one day in my shoes...

@TheWest_Report Force the insurance companies to stay in their lane. They cover the testing and treatment the physicians decide. Not allow the insurance companies to dictate patient care.

I wonder if the planners imagined this scenario when enacting policies that turned medical professionals into employees?

This is the tip of the iceberg 👇🏻

One tiny, scientifically pathetic, and downright fraudulent and retracted paper claiming MMR vaccine is linked to autism.

25 large studies looking at MILLIONS of kids showing no link at all.

But sure go ahead and waste millions of dollars of taxpayers money to study it again.

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

Every professional organization in medicine should denounce the involvement of private equity in healthcare. They should send a clear message to their young physician members that PE is bad for hospitals, private practices, and patients.

They won’t do it, but they should.

BREAKING: The Harris campaign just released this highlight reel of all the times Donald Trump slurred his words and showed his deteriorating health conditions. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this.

No president of America has ever given birth - I don’t understand why it’s suddenly an issue

A healthcare rant: husband in ER overnight for hydration and low blood counts cause of chemo. TY EPIC for reams of less-than-useless discharge papers this morning. Here’s what they included: 1/10

@kevinmd I’m in Emergency Medicine but am in total agreement.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

On this day 82 years ago, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in the height of insanity of racism after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, signed Executive Order 9066.

It ordered all Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be summarily rounded up and imprisoned within 10 barbed wire prison camps, with no charges, no trial, no due process.

One day, a few months later, we saw two soldiers marching up our driveway, carrying rifles with shiny bayonets on them. They stopped up the porch right in front of our window and banged on the front door. My father answered, and one of the soldiers pointed the rifle at him, right in front of us, and ordered us out of our home. I had just turned five in April; it was May when they came to take us away.

My father gave my brother Henry and me two heavy suitcases. And we brought them out onto the driveway and waited for our mother to come out. When she did, she had our baby sister in one arm, a huge duffel bag in the other, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.

That is one morning that is seared into my memory. I will never be able to forget all the innocent people, my family included, who had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor, most of who were law abiding U.S. citizens, who were suddenly categorized as ‘enemy aliens.’

Today, I hear terrifying words from political leaders today that once more raise the specter of what happened before, right here in America.

Donald Trump and his allies are talking about rounding up 11 million people and putting them into mass detention camps before deporting them.

There won’t be time for due process, to sort out who is documented and who is not. Homes will be lost. Businesses, too. Families will be torn apart. Lives will be ruined, over fear and ignorance, all to serve the ambitions and agendas of politicians.

I know, because I lived through it.

I say, never again. Not while I have one ounce of fight still left in me.

Join me. Fight this madness. Help keep America from repeating the mistakes of its past.

[Real Doc Speaks @realdocspeaks]

This is a disaster for physicians as well as patients. Patients will realize that the employed doc is not the same as the independent. The independent doc can advocate for you and can offer great service at a good price. The employed doc has no ability to go out of their way to help you. This is the war on physicians!

[SaltyEM @SaltyEMNY]

Please stop telling people with high blood pressure but no other symptoms that they MUST GO TO THE ER RIGHT NOW.
When you give them this urgency, and our recommended practice is to not intervene on patients with good follow-up, we are setting everyone up to be disappointed/upset.
