Denial: there’s no way healthcare can continue in this direction
Anger: I can’t believe ‘they’ are just letting the healthcare system collapse
Bargaining: okay, but maybe if you pay everyone more it will get better?
Depression: Damn what did I sign up for.
Acceptance:
Thank you academia for showing us again what is what. I'm grateful for the few mentors at harvard mit yale lve been able to build relationship with but I dont confuse that for the system we are in. I know im dispensable, i know im used. 3rd eye open. Its a means to an end.

Introducing: The Life of David Rhoiney
A sneak peek behind the scenes of a major new Infinite Media film & book project chronicling the extraordinary journey of Dr. David Rhoiney (@FiSurgi).
___
David Rhoiney was born at the bottom.
As an impoverished African American child, he survived seemingly unbearable hardships, from street violence to homelessness.
Yet, despite the bleakest prospects, his adult years have been defined by a series of astonishing successes.
This desperate yet brilliant boy became a complex, ambitious man who refused to let himself be beaten by the dire circumstances he found himself in.
Now a qualified robotic surgeon, David has also excelled as a Division I athlete in basketball and track, a U.S. Navy cryptologist, a financial educator, a public speaker, and a web designer.
This is a story of ambition, ruthlessness, sacrifice, hubris, intelligence, stubbornness, loss, and, ultimately, hope.
This is the story of how David Rhoiney reached the top.

In the meantime, before filming kicks off in 2024, we’re excited to present an exclusive pre-production trailer produced by the talented filmmaker @ZacharyTannar, who joined David's biographer @Ed_Wi11iam earlier this year to visit David at his home in Virginia.
This teaser isn’t a trailer for the film but an early opportunity to become acquainted with David and his story—in his words, in his voice—so you can see for yourself the depth and drama of the story to come.

The one of the most frustrating thing about academics is how non collaborative people in key positions can gate-keep access and ensure that work is done in siloes.
We ask every AI company in medicine: "How do you deal with fabrications? What if the computer is wrong?"
We ask zero providers that don't use AI: "How do you deal with human error. What if the treating provider is tired or having a bad day?"
The ER down the street staffed with emergency physicians that make up <2.5% of the physician workforce but that provides >50% of all care and >90% of uncompensated care to vulnerable populations would like a word.

Nobody thinks the dollar amount on healthcare bills is real. Not even insurers…
If they did, they would cover for housing instead of letting folks visit the ER every day
