@RRGonzalezMD Looks like the patient had a high bladder neck that was treated nicely as well. Perhaps an advantage over Urolift? Thanks for sharing your experiences

[Zach Goldsmith MD,PhD @zgoldmd]

@AshleyGWinter Absolutely!!! My go-to move here: “Great taking care of you today. I’m going to step out to give you some privacy. Just stop out checkout when you’re ready”.

@DrPayItBack A frustrating comp model. Patient selection for interventions should be based on clinical training, quality oversight& team collaboration. Not a model that diminishes reimbursement for busy docs. Thank you for sharing, and prompting discussion from folks in different settings

@SPuro88 This was 1 day of outpatient/office notes to attest. Many are patients I have never seen. Sounds like you have a good setup for an inpatient dyad. We use a similar model, though all notes ( progress, DC summaries, and even quick notes) get routed for attestation

[Zach Goldsmith MD,PhD @zgoldmd]

Epic struggle at the end of OR day 🤯 Our APs are truly excellent. But attesting notes requires time, exposes us to risk (& provides no reimbursement to supervising physicians in our model). How have other surgeons made this tenable?

@PurplePMan @lipkinmi @FrancoisSoto Just like every Tuesday and Thursday Dr P!! Sending you good PCNL vibes from Pennsylvania. Hope all is well

@kjdelay1 I stand for all endo cases except TURP. Will experiment with sitting after reading these comments!

@lipkinmi @DukeUrology @DukeSurgery @DukeMedSchool Dr Robertson embodies surgical excellence as well as kindness. What a fitting tribute to you!

[Zach Goldsmith MD,PhD @zgoldmd]

@lipkinmi @DukeUrology @DukeSurgery @DukeMedSchool Congrats and so well earned!!!!

[Zach Goldsmith MD,PhD @zgoldmd]

@RenaMalikMD @SWIUorg Done 👍🏼

Kudos to @UroLift for designing a 2nd gen product that is both more efficient, and produces less OR waste! 6 UL2 implants: 1.2kg of disposables vs 3.1 kg with 6 original implants. #urolift #UroSoMe #BPH #greensurgery

@lipkinmi @JuddMoul So tough Mike. Stay safe!

@AshleyGWinter We can always count on our engineer patients to bring detailed records of their PSAs dating back 20 years. Plotted. On graph paper ☺️

@AshleyGWinter Preach!!
