(1/2) Dear @AmbetterHealth, I followed your most recent 2019 guide for HCV treatment and ordered the preferred drug, Mavyret. After 8-10 calls, we were asked to order generic sofosbuvir/velpatasvir. This cost us 7-8 hours of time and delayed tx. Update your guide.🙏 @AASLDtweets

(2/2) I called 4 times myself and requested politely to give feedback or leave a complaint to improve your processes and got nowhere. We are trying to help patients and need partners. Thanks for reading and caring so deeply. 😡

One of the most overlooked yet very common contributors to constipation is dyssynergic defecation. The muscles that should hold poop to avoid accidents and relax to let poop out get clumsy, don't relax, even tighten when trying to poop. youandconstipation.org/en-cn… #constipation

You can pound away with the next laxative, but often patients experience the Goldilocks effect of "it's too much" (trading for diarrhea to feel empty) or "it's not enough". The first line of treatment is pelvic floor PT. Life changing for patients. #constipation

Great explanation from @rubin_allergy About coming burden of 💩 from @Cigna Are they planing to downgrade premium costs for pts? Nope Will impact all, especially, independent practices and patients while @Cigna continue to make 💰 instagram.com/reel/DN0nfglYg…

1/11 A 43 y/o M presents for evaluation of chronic diarrhea. We walk into the room to meet him. We have an opportunity to make an “augenblick” diagnosis – one that can be made in the blink of an eye.

Great talk by Dr. Emanuel Narcis Husu @bcmhouston @BCM_PMandR. From our first conversation while I was @bcm_gihep to now, Dr. Husu is a wizard with the needle for abdominal wall pain...an amazing listener...and love complexity. Love the term "slow medicine".

If an order for 4-hr solid phase gastric emptying scan is changed by radiology to a 90-minute study without contacting the ordering doctor…then won’t refund the pt…is it reasonable to cause a little hell to help? Oh thank you! I appreciate the support. 😇🔥💩

Working (mom) lunch. In between trauma activations & operative cases & rounding on patients- you can usually find me here. Working on a manuscript, prepping a lecture, or finalizing a talk. Any second I’m away from my kids I make the most of so I can be present with them later.♥️
