Something feels off in today’s world.
The dominant question isn’t, “Is this the right thing to do?” but “Can I get away with it?”
What used to be an ongoing, open-ended pursuit of a better society has been reduced to a technical game of dodging trouble.
And that shift didn’t…
Story time: I went to DC in 2019 to try to meet with Congress members about No Surprises Act
Not seeing patients for a couple days was a huge sacrifice but I thought well worth it given what was at stake: the future of private practice

THE MAGNIFICENT FOLLY OF KNEECAPPING YOUR OWN DOCTORS
Lets call it “An accidental masterclass in bad policy”.
A 🧵….
Riddle me this:
How do you drive up healthcare expenses while making it harder to see a doctor?
Simple.
Just copy U.S. health policy for the past three…
“Healthcare is a human right” is a beautiful sentiment, weaponized into policy by people who’ve never had to deliver care, manage payroll, or fund a trauma bay.
It’s a slogan that demands moral submission without inviting economic reality. A phrase that turns any dissent into…
Target is paying its employees more than we pay our residents.
Assume a resident is making $65,000/yr working 80 hrs/week with 3 weeks PTO. That means a resident is only making $16.58 for each hour worked. ($65k/3,920 hours)
Target will pay you $17.25/hr and you don’t need 8…
Imagine if we taxed everyone 60 percent, built a Department of Cell Phones, and handed you a government-issued Nokia after six months of paperwork. That is what “free healthcare” really means.
Markets exist because they are the only way to balance scarcity without crushing…

Let’s all be honest… who is the most likely to put the patient first?
1) physician
2) insurance company
3) private equity
4) Wall Street
Now ask yourself which of those four are banned from owning hospitals and see if your answer is the same as the first question
Questions?
The ACA was the greatest piece of legislation ever passed? Spare me.
Such a claim is not merely hyperbolic, it is historically illiterate. The Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, was not a triumph of reform but a masterpiece of political theatre and economic distortion.

Things the Democrats didn’t clap for:
A child cancer survivor
Planting a flag on Mars
Fighting crime
Helping working families
Catching terrorists
Destroying the cartels
The only thing the Democrats did clap for:
Ukraine
Emergency medicine is a lifestyle, not just a job.
You’ll see the sickest patients, the worst luck, and the darkest corners of humanity—& still be expected to smile, move fast, and get it right every time. A thread on what they don’t tell you about EM. 🧵
People sure love to complain about physician salaries.
You see it everywhere—today was no exception. But here’s what I don’t see:
“Thank you for staying up until 3 a.m. to save someone’s life.”
“Hey, thanks for taking on $300,000 in debt just to earn the right to take care of…
When neurosurgeons take call, they commit to dropping everything for true emergencies—rushing to the hospital, answering questions, reviewing scans, no matter the hour. It means limited plans, staying local, arranging childcare, and keeping one eye on the phone at all times,…
I felt like writing a post in defense of physicians. We seem to be getting a lot of crap recently.
But I don’t know really where to start or what say. There is so much cynicism and bad faith and really plain unhidden contempt these days.
But why? Because we can’t fix you?…
If you think physicians are overpaid, maybe you should take the necessary course work in undergrad, take and pass the MCAT, apply for med schools, pay hundreds of thousands for tuition, learn for 4 years in a very high pressure learning environment, then pay thousands more to…
Imma keep saying it until my old friends from @nytimes hear: Until you admit the mRNAs and lockdowns failed and the Biden Administration trashed the First Amendment over “misinformation,” you have ZERO credibility to challenge Donald Trump on public health, or anything else.
