But what if I only need one hypertension screening and they give me 20?

Whatever physician wellness initiatives may exist, my quality of professional life would be at least 10% better if I never had to deal with this

For someone whose foundational health policy training occurred circa 2008-2013, seeing graphs like this with cost projections *under* expectation is almost impossible to process!

Perfection. Anyone who’s navigated the American healthcare system knows this isn’t parody. And while all of this is ostensibly to control “wasteful” spending, the cumulative productivity loss in this mess - to say nothing of suffering - wastes even more.

For the Gen Z/late millennials who haven't known a pre-ACA world - this is not a new idea. This is a "high risk pool". We used to have them. Could they work? Sure. But they are - as one would predict- either very expensive, or, insufficient. kff.org/affordable-car…

Thank you Shari Miller for the chance to discuss advances in interventional glaucoma, our growing arsenal of medical, laser, and surgical treatments, and the importance of awareness and early detection to save sight. An exciting time to work in this rapidly evolving, innovative field!

I agree with The Weather Channel, the atmosphere over the next ~24 hours is very likely to trigger migraines.

Happy Super Specific Focus On Random Counties In Random States- eve to all who celebrate

You don’t notice public health—until it fails. The reason you don’t worry about smallpox? Or cholera in your tap water? It’s because decades of public health work made those dangers disappear. But here’s the thing: diseases don’t just go away forever. They come back if we stop
