This is about far more than terminology. Medicine must recommit to physician-led care, clearly defined scopes of practice, and honest representation of credentials and training. โResidencyโ and โfellowshipโ denote the rigorous postgraduate training of physicians and should not be repurposed for nonphysician programs in ways that blur meaningful distinctions for patients. We need stronger title-protection and title-misappropriation legislation so patients can readily understand who isโand is notโa physician. Clarity is not disrespectful; it is fundamental to informed consent and patient safety.
Reservations confirmed.
Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Coogan, Caleb Jonte Edwards, Marissa Long, Alexander Ludwig, Chris Messina, and AJ Michalka are headed to #TheWhiteLotus.
My wife left me home alone with the kids to go out drinking with her friends. A lesser man might whine and complain, but instead I'm just playing Chumbawamba's 1997 hit "Tubthumping" over and over and over. On the jukebox at their bar. Using the TouchTunes app.
Israel has a right to defend itself against Hamas. But innocent Palestinians also have a right to life and security. Iโm calling for a humanitarian pause by all parties so that critical aid can be delivered to the suffering people of Gaza and for the immediate release of all hostages.
1 man with a gun.
22+ Dead
60+ injured.
The Lewiston Maine mass shooting this evening is not the first and it wonโt be the last because sensible gun legislation is a topic that is taboo in politics.
As the body bags pile up can we at least try and figure out a way to slow these people down?
I donโt eat โthoughts and prayersโ. I want โdiscussion and action.โ
Putting a 10cm needle through a rib to biopsy a lung mass next to the aorta, takes about 30-60min and pays us ~$90. Tell me again how physicians are overpaid?
I paid a locksmith $155 to change my front door lock. It took 5min.
โฆBREAKING: @ASALifelineโฉ President-Elect Ron Harter, MD testifying this morning at the US House VA committee - strongly opposing VA Office of Nursing Services proposal to remove anesthesiologists from Anesthesia Care Team and move to CRNA-only model.
This is more ridiculous propaganda from AANA.
I am proud to be a physician specializing in anesthesiology. 4 years university science degree + 4 years of med school + 4 years residency + 1 year fellowship in my case. There is no substitute!
Not all "doctors" are physicians.
@OlusegunOyeniy2@BrownJHM Dysfunctional hair follicles? Isn't it a disorder of sweat glands? Not hair follicles - if both then I've learned something today.
@FollowingForFu2 @Salman3920 @NoobieMatt The vent is what is usually used to listen for breath sounds - give manual breaths while listening to each lung field. If the patient is large or has lung pathology, auscultation can be challenging.
@PhysicianDoodle@DescallarEd@NoobieMatt Incredible tragedy. So sorry for their family. To your point - CRNAs want complete independence across the board - if they manage to achieve that status they will not be able to hide behind another license any longer.
Physician owned hospitals have higher-quality outcomes and lower prices.
Physician owned ambulatory surgery centers have higher-quality outcomes and lower prices.
Physician owned clinics performing in-office procedures have higher-quality outcomes and lower prices.
Physician led, decentralized medicine in partnership with self-insured employers and cash pay marketplaces are the way to affordable accessible care.

Implore the journalist to include all the physicians involved in her care, including the anesthsia team. Anesthesiologists in these situations are commonly overlooked, likely for a few reasons including the fact not a lot of people understand what they do and when they do their job well it is in the background. The ultimate outcome is amazing and deserves to be highlighted! Mom and baby are safe and thriving. Just a note to the writer - the anesthsia team is critical.
