Medicare Advantage plans got a 5 % raise today. Yet the Doctors, who are the ones who actually care for the patients GET CUT every year. This is RIDICULOUS. https://t.co/D8Xk8tc0mC

@tobabolaji @uchicagosurgery Congratulations!

In 2022, three residents wrote an article pointing out that DO students who take the USMLE have higher match rates than those who take just COMLEX-USA.

The NBOME wrote a letter to the editor questioning, among other things, whether the increase in match rates was worth it.

Have you ever put a patient on a non-rebreathe mask (O2 mask with reservoir bag), and cranked the O2 up?

We tested to see what happens

And were stunned

Tried with various brands…

ACEP strongly condemns UnitedHealthcare’s dangerous new policy to retroactively deny emergency care claims.

Reckless policies like this will leave millions fearful of seeking medical care just as we’re getting hold of the pandemic. Full statement: https://t.co/98UgUo8AbS

Our new paper in @JAMAInternalMed: is IV contrast nephrotoxic? Lots of studies say no, but have ⬆️risk of confounding: people who get contrast ≠ people who don't get it. We used a natural experiment to try to overcome this bias https://t.co/XWEEohAvK0 1/5

Very interesting. Having separate licensing exams has never made sense, especially when most residency programs use USMLE scores preferentially and DO students are often forced to take both. This would be a great work around and hopefully get some concessions from the NBOME.

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

A while ago, I suggested that DOs could take USMLE Step 3 for licensure (thus bypassing the COMLEX-USA Level 2 PE exam).

I linked to the @AOAforDOs list of state-by-state licensing requirements, both here and on my site.

Interestingly, their page is now password protected.

🤔

[Frank Mayer, DO, MBA @frank_cm3]

@jbcarmody @AOAforDOs How would this affect a DO who took Step 3 instead of Level 3 and was initially licensed in one state, and then went to practice in another state where there is a COMLEX requirement?

Today is #worldrestartaheart day. Two important determinants of survival for an out of hospital cardiac arrest:

1. How quickly chest compressions are started

2. Whether or not you live with @LGlaucomflecken

I can’t help you with #2, but we should all know #1. CPR saves lives.
