[Sasha Drake 😷 @drizzy285]

it’s 32min past 11am. i just took a shot of gin w/ a peach fruit cup. i don’t know how to quiet my mind - these thoughts - any other way. my meds don’t work. && the only med that ever did, they will no longer prescribe to me b/c i’m a chronic pain patient & “you can’t have that!”

[Sasha Drake 😷 @drizzy285]

&& i just thought about how absolutely no one is going to see this! and that if anyone does, they’ll just scroll past thinking that i’m some sort of attention-seeker. oh, i’m just crying out for help into the void…

The U.S. is an outlier in its low levels of financial support for young children’s care. Rich countries contribute an average of $14,000 per year for a toddler’s care, compared with $500 in the U.S. The Democrats’ spending bill tries to shrink the gap. https://t.co/convDaRSG6

That means, if you come into the Emergency Department for one of those life threatening reasons, your ED physician gets paid less because Medicaid thinks it could have just as well been treated in a different setting. Despite the fact that all 3 of those diagnoses can require ICU

I've recently started practicing medicine in Virginia and learned that VA Medicaid has 800+ diagnoses it considers "preventable ER visits" for which reimbursements are significantly decreased. Highlights include DKA, heart failure, and newly diagnosed brain tumors.
