Raskolnikov companies (my new name for insurance companies) will hopefully eaten up by guilt and psychological torment. Or the hammer will come down hard. You give me hope Tiffany.

So, I say to the physician that called.Me: guidelines were set up to get us to a peer-to-peer so that we could discuss the patient and let me explain why this guideline doesn’t work for her and how 3 months of pain ruins the last 30 years where she has worked to stay in shape.

78 year old patient hurt herself in pilates class 6 weeks ago. Found to have both facet and SI pain. Medicare: Can't treat both because you won't know which one is causing it. Me: who cares which one causes it, both hurt.Medicare: you can't put steroids in the facet because.

Kansas and Missouri are you paying attention?.You can take on CVS, out-of-state hospital systems, UHC, etc. In fact, pay close attention to the reaction of the constituents in Louisiana. They expect their state to protect them from these 800lb gorillas. We ALL expect our state.
Glad to see CVS being held accountable! . Here in Louisiana, we are leading the charge for real PBM reform and demanding transparency and accountability.

Raskolnikov believed he was morally superior and felt his actions were justified. But eventually turned himself in because he was riddled with guilt. At this point, I believe congress would step in and save him (insurance companies) even with a confession.

It feels like congress has all the information. This is another red flag that he has planted. Now there are red flags everywhere. Like a 4,000 hole golf course on a 1 acre plot of land. Great! Now do something. This isn’t capitalism. It is crony capitalism. We, as your.
Yes, prison.

Even more so in the low-profile studies.
More than 50% of high-profile scientific findings cannot be independently reproduced by other scientists. Lab research is the worst, with irreproducibility for top publications reaching nearly 90%. This is a waste of more than $28,000,000,000 from taxpayers in America alone.

5 parts to this post by Dr Bass. For my study obsessed friends, read all 5. We need reform. I thought facts on X were “facts”, now I am beginning to think studies show means “studies show”.
New study published in the BMJ. Investigators counted 1330 clinical trials that had been retracted for misconduct or fatal errors. The researchers looked at how these bad studies corrupted healthcare guidelines used to treat patients. Their findings are horrifying. 🧵

On the other hand. Outcome based medicine? I'm back in! . Value treatments that get patients better. That is capitalism in medicine. Find treatments that work better and pay for those. #Bodyguitar @RFKJr_Official.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping for a different solution on insurance company preauthorization. It feels like you are living in a mafia crime area and the crime families dictate everything you do. Then when you finally have the cops come in, they go and talk to the mafia. They.

…No this was a darkness of another sort. It was the darkness of filth, the darkness created by the waste of thousands of engorged beings who, upon finding themselves fed up with a particular person or thing, cast it away to a hopeless fate. C. Rziha- The way of the Luchrium.

CMS favors the big hospitals in rules & payments and puts increasing financial strain on independent practices with every new decision. It as if they have already decided that having small practices is way too hard for them to manage because these hospital corporations find.
Why We Can’t Trust the Government with Bundled Payments. Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI) was CMS’s flagship model to move from fee-for-service to “value-based care.”.The idea: Instead of billing separately for each service, providers would receive a single payment

It is amazing how much in medicine we have to use studies as light posts rather than maps.
In the latest video in our partnership with @DGlaucomflecken, the BALANCE trial comparing 7 days of antibiotic treatment with 14 days of treatment in patients with bloodstream infection is explained. Access the article for free:

After going through a lot of studies over the past few days I have come to the conclusion that a systematic review and a meta-analysis can say anything you want it to say. Some are great.

The avoidance of limiting individual physicians has led to a limit on all physicians. Using peer-to-peer consultations to allow insurance companies to use a physician's license to practice medicine. Creating protocols that have no basis in medical care to limit care further.
