Discriminatory MedCompact H8047/S2606 promoted as "ease of licensure" will only make it easier for a small number of doctors to leave the state at taxpayers expense, not attract them to the state ranked 50th to practice medicine. Ian Donnis katherine gregg Providence Journal GoLocal24

The Amer Board of Pediatrics (ABP) ⬆️ the contribution to it's employees pensions by 4x? Employees getting 4x the benefits? That's MOC money, yes? 💵 pediatricians pay for a monopolized product that has no proof of helping patients? Like Scrooge they'd take tiny Tim's Crutch

Practicing Physicians of America Too many FAT CATS 🐈 stuffing their pockets…

Practicing Physicians of America Physicians are way too trusting, the fact that we will help us for so long is really bad, it’s time to #TakeMedicineBack

Hey, Scooby... get a clue about who really makes healthcare costs soar! Finding out about the PBM and making them accountable is way better than a Scooby Snack! #PBM #medtwitter #patientsoverprofits #takebackmedicine practicingphysician.org/pbm-unmask-the…

Congratulations and Gratitude ⁦National Board of Physicians and Surgeons⁩ for a decade+ of achievement for patient and profession. Drs, stop paying the rich baron at abim to "certify" you, and get back to caring for your patients as only you know how. NBPAS will show you how.

Hospitals are paid more, often 3-5x, for the same treatment / service performed outside a hospital by an independent physician. Average MRI: $3,200 vs $500 Average scheduled Hernia: $13,800 vs $5,000 Average diagnostic Colonoscopy: $5,800 vs $1,550 Average knee

I keep a box of these books in my office to hand out to introverted trainees. You’ll spend your whole life being programmed to be the loudest person in the room. But some people do their best work in the quiet. This book changed my life. Thanks Susan Cain

Drug "Shortages have been commonplace for > a decade . ...an astonishing 21 of the 36 drugs on the U.S. FDA 's list of critical meds are in shortage." Thanks Nikki M. Johnson, MD, DNBPAS ⚕ for co-authoring this with me! 1/3 washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…

You can watch the SenateHELP Committee hearings on affordable Insulin here: help.senate.gov/hearings/the-n… I'm asking my own Senator Bob Casey to hold #PBMs accountable for manipulating #insulin prices. Ask the hard questions of PhRMA too! The big Insulin makers and the big PBM will be In the HOT

Thanks SenateHELP Committee, especially Dr. Roger Marshall and Markwayne Mullin for exposing the #PBM creating Swiss #GPO and sending their rebate check to those GPO. Yoo hoo, 🇺🇸, patients are not getting the ‘rebates’ realclearhealth.com/articles/2023/…
