Why Doctors Should Organize | The New Yorker

It’s time we revisit this piece, written on the eve of the pandemic (fall 2019).

Doctors are force to reckon with-why we don’t use our collective power more often?

@FloridaMedical

what is your stance on HB1617 and SB1718?

[Lisa Chacko MD, MPH, NCMP @lisachacko]

Dear @FloridaMedical,

Do you support government interference in our professional autonomy?

Or, will you stand up for our profession, patients, and privacy?

Forcing MDs to report patients to authorities is govt OVERREACH.

It’s time to become a card carrying member of the #AMA.

Our professional autonomy is under attack. Leave medicine to the physicians and scientists!

Excellent journalism AND - can we all talk more about HIPAA v tech v digital health? Where do we draw the line with sponsored, targeted content based on office software, google searches, and accessing health care online. Without privacy there is no trust.

@mcuban is a new #menopause hero for outcompeting private insurers and @GoodRx on PRICE for vaginal #estradiol

All patients are price sensitive.

Vaginal estradiol is a low cost, low risk product that should be readily affordable for all women over 45yo.

@DonnaChacko @ReadersFavorite @SueGanzSchmitt @ChadRAllen @luminarepress @kennylinafp 😂 ‘original gangster’ - per the internet “OG is a slang term for someone who is incredibly exceptional, authentic, or “old-school.” Ie: for a legend like Michael Jordan…you are the ORIGINAL, legendary Dr Chacko! I am just your stardust💫

“Is It Time to Cancel Menopause?“

Provocative title…and forces the question:

Does a woman’s biology serve her individual interests or the interests of the species?

@jfschneidr @neildevani I agree with you have asked myself same question. In theory could be great way to allow for local physician ownership albeit without total control, given that solo docs are going out of business.

“In the 1980s, Washington tied federal highway funding to raising the drinking age to 21 through legislation. HHS is limited in what it can do [to force a federal medical license] but tying funding might “strong-arm” states to adopt the change.”

@MSchlueterMoore @chrissyfarr 100% agree. The quest/labcorp user experience is really not on par with most services people use. Huge gap here!
