@ChrisRifer 100% agree.
So honored to share an alma mater with her. Wahoowa!

Strong work by @SAGES_updates AMA Delegation. Working with @ASMBS, @ASGEendoscopy, & our Digestive Diseases Section Council we advanced AMA policy addressing insurance discrimination of patients with obesity, the use of BMI, & oversight of AI use in generating coverage denials.

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

Mission Accomplished @SAGES_updates AMA Delegation! In collaboration with @AmerAcadPeds & @ASMBS we moved the AMA to address comprehensive pediatric obesity treatment and evolving guidelines regarding bariatric surgical candidacy. Great team effort!

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

Big day for @SAGES_Updates delegation! We just testified on the AMA House of Delegates floor (1,000+ attendees) & alongside NY delegation helped move the AMA to tackle the issue of denials of proven treatments labeled as “experimental” by insurers.

@bonuslife @andrewswright @DGlaucomflecken @SAGES_Updates @ASMBS That being said, @DGlaucomflecken brings much needed satirical humor into our lives… & I am reminded that I did fall asleep in the middle of at least 2 dinner parties we hosted when I was an exhausted post call resident.

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

@bonuslife @andrewswright @DGlaucomflecken I agree with you Walter, & to support Andy’s viewpoint… we have come a long way & still have far to go. Committees in surgical societies like @SAGES_Updates, @ASMBS & others are working for change… let’s keep it up.

Absolutely despicable. These politicians are down-right awful people- stoking mobs of ignorant followers.

@askdrfatima @AmerMedicalAssn I observed this exchange on the AMA House of Delegates Zoom & really hope to hear your full testimony. Please consider sharing in print for those unable to join the HOD Zoom.

@DrRissman @foss0196 Even recognizing “this kid has persevered through a lot” would convey the care challenges along with respect.
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle” -Ian Maclaren 1897, is one of many good quotes to live by.

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

@JJcolemanMD Also applicable to working with small “know it all” children. 😆

@OSUSurgery @OHSUsurgery @jghuntermd @timpawlik @kelly_haisley @kylep2976 @SAGES_Updates @IHUStrasbourg @BKP_Columbus Thank you @OSUSurgery for a great morning discussion!

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

Teach on @DrBiden.
It IS important.

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

It’s gonna be a different kinda year up on Mt. Hood. Let’s stay safe.

@Sarah_Mojarad Totally agree... politics 101: everything can be weaponized as shield or sword.

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

@Sarah_Mojarad @AlastairMcA30 Completely agree. There are more appropriate ways to express esprit de corps while avoiding controversy.

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

Wonderful having @choo_ek speak this morning on eliminating gender bias this morning at #AMAmtg Her message of inclusivity & mutual respect is relevant to everyone, everyday.

[Kevin Reavis, MD FACS @reavisk]

A little school spirit in my clinic is definitely the order of the day after last night! @wahoops_ @uvamenshoops Wahoowa!
