DPT, Cert. MDT. Healthcare in the US is odd, I hope to help fix it for everyone.

Oklahoma City scored an unprecedented haul of draft picks this summer, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the lone young player it acquired, could easily become the cornerstone for its next title push. Here’s why.

How insane is it that in American healthcare the answer to “How much does this cost?” is always “It depends”

Question doctors, question nurses, question PTs, question dentists and especially question chiropractors!!! Make sure you are informed on what is happening and why. Don’t question the motive, but the reason behind it.

[Kyle Binkley @kbinkles]

Guys, please question your healthcare providers. We go through a lot of tests, lab work, medications, unnecessary costs; ask them why something is needed. If your healthcare provider can not answer exactly why, maybe they shouldn’t be doing it.

[Kyle Binkley @kbinkles]

There’s a lot of false information out there, if a “medical” provider has a payment plan up front, it’s probably not worth it.

Wow. I can't think of another agenda that governors right, left and center -- as well as the President -- support. Voters are desperate for relief from high drug prices. @philgalewitz @KHNews for @USATODAY

As I wrote in #AnAmericanSickness, there's a chance for real progress on healthcare because everyone suffers; no one likes it and most in danger of bankruptcy if things go wrong. America is reaching a breaking point and change will come--question now is what that looks like.

As I tell most of my patients: Posture is rarely the cause of back pain, but bad posture never helps back/neck pain

@bennyfactor True, just thought the exclusive of the many many other options is not a great look

[Kyle Binkley @kbinkles]

I realize this is written from a medical perspective but wouldn’t it be prudent to also mention non-pharmaceutical treatments for pain?

Fantastic news for Texans, why should we as patients (customers in the eyes of many Hospitals) be just fitted a bill due to hospitals/insurances not agreeing???

@bennyfactor This is one of my favorite books on the matter, it illustrates a bleak image for American Healthcare. An American Sickness: How Healthcare Became Big Business and How You Can Take It Back https://t.co/Rv20MTnSs0

[Kyle Binkley @kbinkles]

The question is: do hospitals actually expect individuals to pay this? And if not, why are we billing so much for it?

[NPR @NPR]

$94,000 was the unexpected bill Liv Cannon, who has insurance, received after her spinal surgery. The fee was for neuromonitoring services used to cut the risk of nerve damage during delicate surgery.
