@JArthroplasty A biomechanical study of various knee implants concluding that one of them is better than the others… which was funded by that company. I feel like JOA should have higher standards than this.
@olsonplanner I would have done the bare minimum amount of science necessary and then spent the rest of my college credits on topics I just found interesting. Also I would’ve taken way more Spanish and probably done a study abroad trip to try to get to a conversational level
Private equity, insurance companies, and hospital corporations are racing each other to see who can monopolize health care the fastest. Optum is the largest employer of physicians in the US. Medical decision making is dictated by payors and PE investors. Reimbursement is still declining, cost of education is still increasing, residency spots are capped, and social media misinformation is worse than ever. If you are still, in the year 2024, questioning why new physicians want to work 4 day weeks, take sick leave, get married to a human instead of a pager, and view medicine as a job, with all due respect, shut the fuck up.

We should keep cutting physician pay so families have more money in their pockets through reduced costs and reduced premiums based on the last 25 years of experience.
@paulwerner89 As someone with a strong college bias it’s got nothing to do with the quality of the play and everything to do with the culture surrounding it. It’s the memories of going to the school. That I’ve been going to the games with my dad since I was 2 and now we bring my son.
@paulwerner89 Had a tall task getting a team to play disciplined with that many transfers
Early returns indicate they did not accomplish said tall task
.@Cigna is suing the FTC to redact its report on Pharmacy Benefit Managers.
Why? Probably because @ExpressScripts doesn't want it known they charge $3,613 for a $65 cancer drug.
U.S. Olympians are using their trip to the Olympics to get the basic preventative healthcare they can’t afford to get in the U.S.
We should be embarrassed that we’re the only industrialized country without universal healthcare — all because lobbyists pay off our politicians.
I can’t be the only one whose biggest question right now is what kind of offense Tim Walz was running when he won this Minnesota high school football championship. This is the most useful data imaginable about how he will govern.
The results from this study indicate approach concordance had no effect on dislocation, infection, or fracture rates after rTHA for any approach combination. Approach for rTHA should be determined by experience, preference, and indications.
