nothing is funnier than me securing a big girl prof job and my entire family thinking I “work part time” (bc teaching is only 2-3 days a week) and asking me if I’ll be looking for another job too 😂🥹😀🤣

The consolidation of healthcare is killing competition and hiking prices. We must lift the moratorium on physician-owned hospitals. More competition = Better prices + Better care. Who's with me? #healthcare

🚨I am creating this thread so that everything that is happening is well documented in the public: Yesterday the ADL added me to what can only be described as an effective hit list. They personally emailed reporters at major publications with a long set of smears about me—plus

1/9 A 26 y/o woman presents with migratory arthritis. Started with a red and hot foot/ankle. Then went to the knee. Overuse, she was told. When ice/rest did not help, she went to a hospital. An arthrocentesis procedure was performed.

Published today in The Lancet. Main take home message: ⚠️ Primary author and my cousin Dr Khaled Alser remains abducted by the Israel military for insisting on not leaving his patients behind at Nasser Hospital for #NotATarget #Gaza #FreedomToKhaled

2 things on my mind: 1- why are we still using ACE-inhibitors when we can use ARBs 2- losartan is the worst ARB no conflicts of interest, just being real.

How did we end up with the unfair regulatory environment for physicians? conclusions from our article Health Affairs Forefront, coauthored with David A Hyman & Sunjay Letchuman: Certificate of Need (CON) laws, the Stark Law, and the ACA’s restrictions on physician-owned

Healthcare prices are like a bad magic trick. - MRI at a hospital: $3,719. - Same MRI, independent center: $688. Abracadabra, your money's gone! #HealthcareHeist Not #healthcare

As a junior academic, I was advised to avoid writing about racism until after tenure. Some senior colleagues feared that discussing structural discrimination or critical race theory might limit opportunities. Here’s why I chose to ignore that advice. 🧵(1/)

You're that rich guy that stole from Welfare right?

The lead author of an article on Gaza trauma surgery published in The Lancet yesterday has been tortured by the Israeli military and remains in custody, though his whereabouts are unconfirmed. Story in @dropsitenews: dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-doctor-…

These are our colleagues, our professors, our most esteemed in our profession who are right now being tortured by Israel in secret detention camps. UCSF has been actively repressing faculty, staff and students speaking to this horror for 11 months now. We saw this coming.

Every hospital in America needs a click reduction committee. That's it. That's the post.

“Dr Goodman you don’t understand the health system looses money if you don’t click those boxes and quality score is lower” Ok figure out a way to solve the problem that doesn’t involve the doctor doing redundant work. I’m sure a bunch of highly paid admins can solve this!

I haven't talked about this much here, but on this #LaborDay2024 I want to tell you why I am a unionized physician and what we're experiencing negotiating our first contract (spoiler: there's a reason we unionized...) /1

Once I… …Get into med school …Match into my #1 residency …Become an attending physician … Make attending money …Get promoted to partner/professor …Buy the car/house THAT is when I’ll finally be happy. But you find out you aren’t. This is called an Arrival Fallacy.

I often get asked what it means when a medical concept is "high yield". There is no official definition of this term as far as I know. People probably use it to mean different things. But in my view a high yield concept is one that can be easily used to create a board question.

Certificate of Need (CON). In these states you cannot build a hospital without permission of the governor, other hospitals, and insurance carriers. AL, AR, CO, DE, FL, GA, HI, IL, IN, KY, LA, MD, ME, MS, NC, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OK, PA, RI, SC, TN, TX, VT, VA, WA, WV.

med students—don’t let your perceived archetype of a field prevent you from doing what you love in med school I loved emergency medicine but was worried I didn’t fit in with the archetype of “adrenaline-loving thrill seekers” bc I was a dork who sang showtunes to their cat

This is a TOTAL mess Physicians face an average of 57 unique quality measures across 8 value-based contracts Many, if not most of these measures are worthless Administrative waste Burnout inducers Costly Takes away from real quality improvement
