Dr. Mitchell Katz (CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals) just said he wants to replace “a great deal of radiologists” with AI right now.
The only thing stopping him? The FDA.
My response: Replace yourself first, Dr. Katz.
Here’s why. 🧵

Right stellate #cryoablation and left stellate block for patient with refractory VT who was pacemaker dependent. Subsequently underwent left stellate cryoablation the following week. No more shocks after the first procedure. @SIRspecialists@womenirads@BSCCardiology@bostonsci
Dear house of medicine,
Happy (academic) new year.
Here’s your annual paycut.
This one will bring you to a total 23% decrease since that whole “pandemic” thing.
Love,
The US Government
PS: We have shortage of healthcare workers and deep health access issues in this country. Could you help with that? kthxbye.

🚨Contact Congress to urge their support of H.R. 2474! This bipartisan legislation would institute an annual inflation-based update to Medicare physician payments to help stabilize and provide much-needed reform to the current flawed system. Takes 1 min.

I don’t usually brag about our residency program, but today I’m gonna make an exception.
Like other children’s hospitals, we’re managing a surge in respiratory illness.
But unlike most hospitals, we’re gonna pay the residents who work extra overnight/weekend shifts $100/hour.
one of my very first attendings during M3 year advised me, "become the kind of doctor who people are excited to see is on call." i think about that every day—who do people trust to take care of their patients? who is humble and responsive? who is simply a delight to work with?
Abortion is healthcare !! And the right to choose what one does with their own body must remain a basic human right !! This is nothing but oppression of women. This will result in unnecessary deaths, suicides and extreme mental trauma, especially in underprivileged women.
Radiologists, the corporatization of our field by private equity will rob your future. Don’t sign up with them. They can’t exit without your participation! Read the linked piece for how they think and operate.
I really don’t want to hear a damn thing about your thoughts and prayers. They require nothing of you but a few screen taps.
I want to hear what you’re going to do to stop this uniquely American slaughter. If you’ve got nothing to say in that regard, sit down.
