Mayo Clinic is being sued by its former AI compliance lead, who alleges the hospital system concealed its AI tool's 67% error rate at the expense of patients, per Futurism.

The healthcare system isn’t broken. It’s collapsing in real time.

Primary care disappearing. Specialists unreachable. Millions w/ no access at all.

And yet, every night, in every city, one place always keeps its doors open. One last line of defense.

The emergency department.🧵

This is massively misleading to bundle physician fees and hospital fees together…

Literally, physicians are paid “professional fees” and hospitals are paid “facility fees”, the latter of which is many multiples what the physicians are paid.

Case in point: A 99285, which is the highest complexity ER visit, professional fee (to the physician) is 4.00 workRVUs, or $134 by the current Medicare conversion factor ($33.88/RVU). The Medicare conversion factor has been cut year over year.

In contrast, the facility fee to the hospital is on average $1800, and has increased 531% over the past 17 years…

We are literally fractions of the cost.

ERs shoulder the lack of social safety nets in the U.S. The specialty is less and less medicine and increasingly just a catch-all for all sorts of issues that everyone else is able to ignore.

For every PGY1 thats nervous about July 1, theres a PGY2 nervous about no longer being an intern, a PGY3 nervous about being in their last year, and a graduate nervous about being a new attending. And someone with years of experience out there who knows you all will be ok.

What do we want the 2024 election to be about?

If Donald Trump is the nominee, the election is going to be about legal issues, criminal trials, and January 6. It’ll be a referendum on him.

This election needs to be a referendum on the Democrats’ failed policies.

We need to offer a positive vision to turn this country around — and that’s what I represent.

You may have heard the shocking headline that 250,000 people die every year in the US due to misdiagnosis in the ER.

You may be even more shocked to know that this statistic is extrapolated from the death of...

just one man.

in a Canadian ER.

over a decade ago.

If u want to make real change then shrink the change. Quick little wins help get us motivated. Make changes so small that u can’t help but score a victory. By setting small, visible goals you allow yourself to achieve them & to start getting success in ur head.
