I remain utterly fascinated by this collaboration.

“I spent 8 minutes in chart review, 22 minutes in direct patient care, 5 minutes in documentation, 3 minutes waiting for the computer to log me in and 2 minutes correcting dictation errors.”

It’s possible I hate Cardiology 💔

We should let 12 year olds become fighter pilots. Make my cat a lawyer. Whatever. The world is on fire. Who cares anymore.

Today I spent a futile 40 minutes fighting a UnitedHealthcare denial for Wegovy and got home to a $1000 bill for a minor outpatient procedure, which reminded me that health insurance is an awful scam.

Just a reminder that your quarterly American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) LKA questions are due this weekend! Also, a reminder that every time you answer one of their MANY pretest questions, you are paying a ton of money to do their question vetting for them!

“what radicalized you?” probably my basic human empathy

LOL - no, I will not be doing that

What is the most ignored endocrinopathy and why is it primary hyperparathyroidism?

I love this movie so much

It’s October, so watch some scary movies. Maybe start with The Blair Witch Project, the most brilliantly marketed movie of all time, and the movie that made found footage a thing. The performances are all incredible, and the ending gave me nightmares. letterboxd.com/film/the-blair…
