@frahman480@RyanTedfordMD I’m sorry but anyone in cardiology who thinks any number is “hard and fast” is probably wrong and probably hasn’t dealt with patients long term.
Patient gets lumbar epidural steroid injection, goes to ED with severe pain.
Gets diagnosed with cauda equina syndrome the next day due to a large hematoma.
Read the case and see why they only sued the ER doctor:

You’re covering a hospital and get called for a consult.
You’re not the primary doctor.
You open the chart to review imaging. All you need to do is look at one CT, Xray, or lab result—but the EHR won’t let you proceed without clicking through a series of unrelated alerts:
✔️ Sepsis screen (acknowledged)
✔️ Allergies (acknowledged)
✔️ Contact precautions (acknowledged)
You’re forced to “confirm” things you don’t know. You’re not at bedside. You don’t need to be at bedside.
You weren’t consulted for any of that. The primary team handles those issues.
But the system makes you lie to move forward—all to boost compliance metrics and legal cover.
The admin wins.
The lawyers win.
Doctors? We just click.
@smithECGBlog Is there an X account anyone knows that shames ER providers the way this one shames cardiology (with the mask of education)? @jl35wilsonMD@TWilsonMD

We should keep cutting physician pay so families have more money in their pockets through reduced costs and reduced premiums based on the last 25 years of experience.
Another Masterclass by Douglas Murrray! 🇮🇱
I have literally never seen a more eloquent, calm, and decisive presentation on live TV.
Douglas Murray just fit 100 books and 300 podcast episodes into this 3-minute soliloquy.
He completely shut down Pierce Morgan’s argument, clarifying that Hamas, not Netanyahu, is the true obstacle for peace.
He criticized Hamas for using foreign aid to build tunnels and enrich its leaders, rather than improving Gaza.
But most importantly, he explained that peace with Hamas is fundamentally impossible, as they value conflict and death, not peace and life; thus, unless Israel is allowed to decisively win, the cycle of violence will continue ad infinitum.
Thank you Douglas Murray for being the absolute most important voice in the world right now to defend Israel and the Jewish People!
