Rad Onc generalist who loves the specialty, loves his job and trained during peak rad Onc. Let's Make Radiation Oncology Great Again!

@ASTRO_org will never address this issue, lest it target the very institutions home to much of its leadership. It's shameful

@lemmiwenks @SorenBentzen @DoctorGeorge15 I think we could choose more wisely by using the right metric — dollars. Why measure fractions as a surrogate? It only obscures what really matters, which is real cost relative to outcome. Price transparency is the way to go.

Radiation oncology leadership need to simultaneously advocate for payment reform but emphasize that nothing else in the oncology world is as cost effective as radiation therapy.

Our economy spends more on a single drug—-pembrolizumab—-than all radiation treatments combined.

@mcuban AHA makes sure that hospitals remain the preferred high cost solution over independent and freestanding) physician owned centers of care which are often the best low cost option to the system @CMSGov site neutrality was needed years ago

@HormuzLetter Trump has won this war 7 times.

He’s negotiated a peace settlement 12 times.

And he’s opened the Strait of Hormuz at least 4 times.

What more do you want from him?

[Captain Obvious™️ @TheFungi669]

I hate to admit this but Trump was right.

He said that if I vote for Kamala Harris gas prices, groceries prices and my utility bills will go through the roof.

I voted for Harris and my gas, groceries and utility bills have gone through the roof.

@DutchRojas Medicare pfs vs hopps ensures the deck remains stacked against them

@lemmiwenks @toddscarbrough Only thing that has gone up.

[MROGA @radoncodonk]

@drbeckta @gv_lazcano You're selling a product people need less of with reimbursement cuts and hypofrac and you have a veritable monopoly/weak duopoly.

Story checks out

@drbeckta (JK 100% with you on this, where an entire Seinfeld episode came from)

@5_utr @lemmiwenks Astro has had some pretty dense "choosing wisely" points over the years. My personal favorite was avoiding imrt in breast

@WCInvestor Never makes sense to buy within first 5 years. Let the job stabilize. If you buy don't let your practice know

@EvanThomas84 @US_FDA The best candidates for focal prostate RT are the ones who would be best for active surveillance

@Angry_Staffer It's going to get far worse.
Remember what Trump said:

[MROGA @radoncodonk]

@toddscarbrough Hypo been doing that for ages. @astro_org had its head in the sand when case based reimbursement was being bandied about a decade or two by the freestanding groups. Would have been a genius idea pre 2010

@DavidSherMD Not a violation of ABR policy? Even if it is, worth it lol
