@francisdeng Many will see what he says about radiology, know he’s flagrantly wrong, and then go on to suffer from Gell-Mann Amnesia about everything else he says.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@karma_police2 @dr_cellini It’s even more grotesquely obvious when the hospital NEEDS a doctor and suddenly the overnight “emergency credentials” come out.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@northwoods1980 As others have said, these are fig leafs for the negotiation process, and they hope docs will go back and say “that’s all we can ask for, sorry guys.” Price yourself using mgma median $/wrvu and then take into account all the other costs plus risk and profit.

@PhilipRChapman1 @francisdeng Incredible. The scan is so bad you can’t even see the arrows!

@RandySuWong Not pixel by pixel?

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@MStempniak @CrainsNewYork @NYCHealthSystem and only someone with zero understanding of radiology would say something so naive. But in some sense, they’re correct: hospitals are happy to cut costs even if it means patient harm, as long as it’s legal. Perhaps we should lobby legislators for more humane AI CEOs?

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@MStempniak @CrainsNewYork @NYCHealthSystem Undeniable proof that confidently uninformed hospital administrators are a danger to patients: easily duped by AI companies that are nowhere near capable of providing patient care. Any attempt to implement AI only reads would immediately result in patient harm and death,

@francisdeng Imagine getting sued because you said 5-10% but the literature says 11%. No thank you.

@AmineKorchiMD @MStempniak The radiology labor shortage is revealing the disease and rot in so many radiology practices. Academics is not immune, just a late comer. When patients need more trainees than ever, teaching is getting axed while academic institutions reap bigger profits.

@AmineKorchiMD This person who wrote this article has no idea what they’re talking about.

@drmoneymatters @btq96r @nedholmanmd @MStempniak Best guess is envision tried to sell and RP said we’ll take it for free or not at all. Envision must have been desperate to get this off their books. All signs point to massive pain and losses for hospital contract holders, as expected.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@drmoneymatters @btq96r @nedholmanmd @MStempniak RP will use this as an excuse renegotiate each envision hospital contract and a massive recruitment drive for rads already fine with working for a PE. Might even get away with paying them slightly less. Hard to see them coming away from this negative.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@MedSync_AI @drmoneymatters Wait till you see what happens when a radiology group leaves a hospital in this market.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@drmoneymatters Making sure you have the skill set to perform certain procedures and see patients…sounds very similar to what, perhaps, a state medical board does??

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@drmoneymatters @DoctorReyn Nobody!

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@rajkmd @AnilMakam That blue bar would be much bigger in the hospital setting. They order far more imaging.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@AnilMakam Yes, because they unnecessarily order 5x the imaging and make the hospital more money.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@ScottTruhlar @nedholmanmd @thats_bone It’s also easier for the admin to ask their boss for $$$ to fix a meltdown instead of $ to prevent a meltdown that may or may not happen

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@independentMDs @shamitsdesai It means the market is forcing DRs (and IRs) who refuse to let go of old paradigms to aggressively cut losses on providing inpatient IR, which is a huge cost center and just doesn’t have the leverage it used to relative to straight DR.

[M Suhail, MD @drmsuhail]

@ScottTruhlar @nedholmanmd @thats_bone This is what’s happening on the ground right now. It’s group dependent whether the IRs have the wherewithal to own the service line themselves or become employed.
