Yeniden hoş geldin Yaren
Günlerdir Adem Amca ile birlikte “Acaba görür müyüz?” diye güneye uzun uzun bakarken meğer o da bize çatıdan bakıyormuş; biz tanıyamamışız. İlk iki gün çatıda ve bahçede uzak ve çekingen durunca geleni eşi sandık. Hava şartları nedeniyle göle de açılamamıştık. Dün Adem Amca’nın kapısının önünde beklemeye başlayınca içimize bir şüphe düştü. Bu sabah buz gibi havaya rağmen şansımızı yeniden denedik…
Ve anladık ki gelen Yaren’miş! 🤍
Merak edenlere, soranlara, bir kuşla baharı bekleyenlere müjdeler olsun.
Buluşma 15. yılda da gerçekleşti.

I’m sharing an actual recent peer-to-peer call that shows what physicians and patients face when trying to get a surgery approved. This call felt as absurd as it sounds.
The peer-to-peer call was to advocate for surgery to prevent and treat lymphedema for a patient with breast cancer. Her risk is high and we can perform a surgery to lower it.
The doctors from the insurance company on the call were an ophthalmologist with a subspecialty in oculoplastic surgery and a plastic surgeon who currently has a cosmetic practice. Neither doctor has ever performed lymph venous bypass…the surgery I was trying to get approved for my patient.
Neither doctor would provide their name or license number.
At the conclusion of the call, the doctors told me that they didn’t have the power to make a determination or decision to perform the surgery. They were just there to inform me of United’s decision to deny it.
The Medical Decision was not up to the doctors on the call. It had already been made by United.
So here I am, appealing again.
Medical decisions should be made by doctors who are well informed and patient-centered. Patients deserve access to the care that they paid for with their premiums.

Learning p cubed presentations was one of the first things that made me curious about #MedEd, how we teach, and learn. That was almost a decade ago and since then @ffolliet’s work has been a perfect guide for me. Anyone in #MedEd should checkout his work!
We coined a new subtle ECG finding of Acute LAD occlusion that does not meet STEMI criteria. We call it “precordial swirl.” We derive it quantitatively and validate it on a separate data set it in this paper.
