Even if we stipulate—for the sake of argument—that ‘Globalize the Intifada’ is not a call to violence (even though it clearly is), what matters is not the speaker’s intent but how the phrase is received by many in the Jewish community. The far left should try extending to Jews…

@RepGregMurphy Congressman, your comment reflects a dangerous misunderstanding of what modern healthcare work actually entails—and frankly, it’s part of the problem. You talk about “devotion” and “dedication” as if those words can power a broken system. As if moral injury, burnout, suicide,…

BlueCross BlueShield does not count chemo therapy towards annual max. Sutter Hill charged $30k per treatment. So a friend with stomach cancer now has a bill of nearly $100k. He also had to wait weeks for insurance approval before chemo despite having cancer. System is broken.

🧵 Many “hot takes” about the reduction of @NIH indirect grant costs to 15%. Let’s lay out the facts about the university grant management process & accounting. And then use this to project likely short and longer term impacts of the policy.

This is a list of blockbuster drugs in 2024. Guess how many can trace their origins to NIH funded research? All of them.

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: buff.ly/3EtML7D

Blaming physicians as ‘overpaid’ is not only misguided but also a blatant misunderstanding of reality. Physician compensation has decreased in real terms over the years, even as their workloads and administrative burdens have skyrocketed. Meanwhile, journalists and reporters,…

Doctors, don’t ever let a hospital claim they are losing money on your salary. If you’re employed and they are just comparing professional fee collections to your paycheck, they’re trying to trick you. You generate far more revenue than your professional fees. There’s the…

Honestly lol that people think the corruption and profit motivation in medicine is at the pediatrician level and not at the insurance and pharma exec level.

CT Urogram denied by @UHC. Rationale: my notes do not support criteria for management of a complex bone fracture. I’m a urologist. Spent 20 minutes to JUST get a peer 2 peer scheduled. This is how doctors spend their admin time. US healthcare system is broken.
