@Karl_Luminus I've never priced out arthroscopic knee surgery for any of my patients but I would guess it would be around 15k?

[ZDW @zweidner]

@neurosurgery @jalbright22 What makes you think lawmakers want competition and lower costs? They just want to do what the hospital lobby $ tells them to do

[ZDW @zweidner]

@JArthroplasty Unfortunately it appears the goal is to give all the $ to hospitals and further consolidate healthcare. They'll lower reimbursements for total joints until all physicians are employed by hospital systems. The hospital lobby says so.

[ZDW @zweidner]

@paulswaney3 @DutchRojas @KPRunion This is incorrect. I'm a surgeon. I don't think I've ever seen a surgeon get paid more than about 5k for a case.

[ZDW @zweidner]

@RepGregMurphy On this point you're actually correct congressman. Make the "non profits" (ceo makes millions) pay taxes, enact site neutral payments, get rid of CON laws. Level the playing field and give physicians a chance. Increase competition -> decrease costs

[ZDW @zweidner]

@RepGregMurphy I can't believe you're a doctor. So out of touch. The system you and your lobby buddies are reinforcing is crushing physicians. But I guess you wouldn't know since you also gave up practicing medicine

[ZDW @zweidner]

@Kacper_PK_CH Yes.

[ZDW @zweidner]

@InvestSpecial @OpenSquareCap Any thoughts on $val warrants?

[ZDW @zweidner]

@Interlingua3 @Astorshuman Try guns, drugs, car accodents, obesity and other socioeconomic causes of lower life expectancy

@centerofhip How did you get that 3rd picture to measure stem version?

[ZDW @zweidner]

@BenMayoMD @jointdocShields How are people coding hip abductor repairs? And what type of anchors?

[ZDW @zweidner]

@cannibalstocks @AbelAmos Is this accurate? If the deal closes 1 valaris warrant = 15 shares of $rig? That seems weird, rn 1 val warrant = $14.76, but 15 shares of rig is worth $95

@DrDiGiorgio @anish_koka @RepJasonSmith Guessing the AHA lobby $ will have something to say about this...

[ZDW @zweidner]

@Policy_Solution @RepJasonSmith This is 🔥. Too bad the AHA lobby will prevent anything from ever changing

[ZDW @zweidner]

@RepJasonSmith @jldobrinsky Of course they said no. We have monopolies of hospital systems all over the country buying up cheaper independent physician practices and charging higher fees and facility fees where there were none before. Independent physicians are getting killed, cost and access going up

[ZDW @zweidner]

@solimanibra92 @traumaticum @InvictaOrtho @Gnomelover1970 @bonesmith_ @centerofhip @sportsdoc2016 Plate would definitely be a worse option, much worse. Entry is a little medial in that proximal fragment

[ZDW @zweidner]

@rorycooper Totally

@drsebheaven @orthobullets @AAHips @jointdocShields @BenKuhnsMD @itius @RugbyMD @BrianChalmersMD @KevinParkMD @tdd340 @Ortho_Deck @Dr_Stambough Taking out that stem isn't going to be fun
