Medicare’s message to doctors: “Do more, get paid less.”
2025 conversion factor: $32.35
2015 conversion factor: $35.93

A decade of cuts while demands explode.

This isn’t reform—it’s sabotage.

In 2025, the Medicare conversion factor will be lower than it was in 2015. A decade later, doctors are getting paid less per unit of work—while inflation, admin burden, and burnout have all skyrocketed.

While #gunviolence prevention efforts have helped decrease Philadelphia's homicide rate, funding for many of these programs runs out in 2024. @NwodimOgechi shares why continued investment and commitment is essential for future progress. https://t.co/8WZ5P0MAZf

I'm often asked about how stressful it is to work in the emergency dept.

I answer yes, but not for the reason ppl think

Patients near death when minutes matter...that's not stressful...it's what we do

A system that inadvertently makes work more difficult is why it's stressful

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

On Thank a Resident Day, here are a few things you may not know:

1. Residents work 60-80+ hours/week & make around $12-18 per hour. They get no extra pay for extra (residency) shifts.

2. They often work 28 hours straight & can be sleep deprived for much longer on “home call.”

Congratulations to Penn residents and fellow physicians on organizing their union with @cirseiu. I call on @PennMedicine to hold a fair and transparent election that is free from intimidation.

Twitter is a buzz rekindling the Etomidate Debate following the publication of recent meta analysis published in the Journal of Critical Care (https://t.co/KY6q5oaHKz). For those playing catch up (like I was), here is some background:

To any doc in training who feels 'behind' on their personal life (as I very much did.) I got married exactly 1 year ago at age 37, have an instant family (awesome stepkids,) and will have my first in June.

Everyone is on their own timeline. #dontstress

The resident and fellow physicians at @PennMedicine are unionizing!!

UPenn housestaff would the first residents in Pennsylvania to unionize. We are determined to not only improve patient care at UPenn, but to set standards for what residency and equity in healthcare should be.
