Eager to complete a peer to peer with Oscar for a man who really needs auth for inpatient rehab. Was told the only time available this week is tomorrow at 7:30 pm. Want to be a strong advocate for my patients, but should also be able to address this during my workday!

Couldn’t agree more! Too many talented med students are not matching into residency at a time when it’s critical that we train more physicians.

Doctors and nurses who speak up for patient safety often face retaliation. It's important that those behind it are held accountable for their actions. Glad they were in this case. More work to do. #patientsafety msn.com/en-us/news/us/…

This LCD proposal is an awful one, which would restrict access to effective doses of botulinum toxin to many patients who need it for spasticity. I was glad to help in the fight against it!

This is so important! Some Medicare Advantage plans are better than others, but traditional Medicare is best, especially in the case you need rehabilitation for a severe illness or injury. The delays and denials have real consequences.
