The suicide of the West right here in America.
What a destructive immigration policy this country has indulged in (to the detriment of Americans) for a generation.

🌠Big win for truth in advertising: Big win for patients!
A California U.S. District Court upheld as constitutional CA’s longstanding law that limits use of the term “doctor” and prefix “Dr.” to a person who is a California-licensed allopathic or osteopathic physician. 🧵

Again, one of my biggest regrets was voting for President Obama in 2008 as a medical student & celebrating the passage of the ACA
Little did I know the carnage it would wreck on the medical profession and my future patients. I had no idea then that the ACA was written to strip physicians of their autonomy, boost insurer profits & drive healthcare consolidation
End result 15 years later is a more expensive healthcare system with less competition resulting in lower quality, less efficient care for patients. Coverage is not care!
@realDonaldTrump has opportunity of lifetime to fix what President Obama broke 🙏
Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care.
Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them.

MS patients win 👏👏
Education plays a critical role in patient safety; stark difference physicians - APRNs.
Gaps in NP education & training put patients at risk.
Costs rise when NPs are unsupervised.

Hey @elonmusk
The UK Government has insidiously been lowering medical standards for years
Many extremely avoidable deaths as a result of substitution of fully qualified doctors with quacks who have done a 2 year crash course
It’s almost unbelievable, but it’s the next huge scandal to come out

Today I rounded in the hospital on my patients and saw many physicians wandering around away from their family along with dedicated nurses, security, sanitation team, and others. One doctor had a list of 5 hospitals as he checked off patients. Healthcare is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. Many physicians don’t take time off. Thank you to our dedicated healthcare professionals and those who support us!

2nd in series “documenting how the increasing reliance on ill-trained nurse practitioners is imperiling US patients.”
“…NP instruction isn’t standardized, & the clinical hours…already a fraction of those completed by physicians—are largely unregulated.” bloomberg.com/news/features/…

BREAKING: The Biden administration's ban on noncompete clauses has been upheld in court, per MorePerfectUnion.
As of now, virtually all noncompete agreements with bosses will be banned and voided beginning September 4.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is factually wrong. Although one judge in Pennsylvania has denied a preliminary injunction against the rule's enforcement, a federal court in Texas enjoined enforcement of the rule against many employers.

Dear Doctors,
Happy annual cut-your-compensation day.
This one comes with an additional demand for you to change your practice to address “whole body care” and spend lots of administrative overhead proving your “quality” with metrics that are mostly gamesmanship and complex paper pushing.
Love,
US Government

TLDR: 2.8% cut across the board through the RVU conversion rate. This has decreased every year since 2020, for a 10% cut ever since become COVID "healthcare heroes"...🤬

To bring you up to speed today #MedTwitter, hospitals and ASCs get a 3% raise, we get a 3% cut and @uhc committed 8.7B dollars worth of Medicare fraud in 2021 alone. But yes tell us how it’s all the doctors fault. #notaprovider @DOJCrimDiv @DrCorriel @pppforpatients @Suburbanbella @fuzzymittens @MayaBabuMD @neurosurgery

❗️Oppose removing the physician from the healthcare team.
❗️Physician-led care is lower cost, higher quality.
❗️In states where physician supervision is not required, CRNPs do NOT gravitate to rural areas. See other states👇

Remove the word "physician" from their title. I don't care whatever they call themselves, they're nothing to do with physicians. @wesstreeting rename the PA role immediately. It's a danger to the public, you care about that right?
