Do I have this right? - ABIM requires yearly fees from physicians who are already cert to “maintain certification” - no evidence that MOC helps pt care - ABIM will report you as “not certified” if you don’t pay - hospitals require certification Idk kinda sounds like extortion
Nope. Not happening until I find out what this gets me , @ABIMFoundation. What are we paying for? I’m certified…I took my boards and passed them.

@ABIMFoundation please reply here so we all understand what these MOC fees get us. Paying the >$3,000 to pass the general and interventional cardiology recert exams isn’t enough for you. Please explain why. No answer assumes greed. We will all wait…

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file. Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.
Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵

As the scene that unfolded during the Bills game last night is weighing heavily on the minds of all who witnessed it on live television, I would like to make a plea for every person to learn bystander CPR and how to use an AED.

1/📌New Paper✏️ Prior work has shown convincingly that there are racial disparities in access to #LVAD and txp for pts with adv HF. We sought to understand if inequities exist among pts receiving care at expert centers & if pt preferences for care would impact disparities

They told me when I signed on that the University of Michigan network was special. I’ve been approached 6 times at LaGuardia airport with folks saying “Go Blue” and I’m not wearing Michigan apparel. 〽️
