@DrJesseMorse @SteveOnSpeed Totally inaccurate, it’s an independent procurement agency. The truth is many organs are in need and another person’s can truly save a life Everyone should have clear advance directives on their needs if they were to get ill. It would prevent decisions based on emotions.

@SteveOnSpeed I personally believe so yes. It’s ’expensive’ to keep you alive. Your organs are worth millions of dollars (to the hospital).

A nurse told me to opt out of organ donation because it might affect medical decisions, and not in my favor. Does this actually happen?

Miami has 3 of the top 15 high restaurant sales in the US, including #1 and #3. Miami is becoming a MONSTER of a city and I’m fully embracing it. I’m ready to be at the head of the health and wellness movement!

AI people, which system seems to be the most accurate and knowledgeable as it pertains to Personalized Medicine? For example, if I wanted to upload all of my labs, genetic testing, advanced toxin screenings, and have it provide an accurate summary and recommendations. What would be the best service to use?

Sorry for the late reply to everyone tweeting me Considering Canucks initially reported Hughes injury as week-to-week and then he came back earlier than that, I would suspect a broken hand bone that doesn’t need surgery and can be played with Padding’s to prevent further trauma

The MAHA movement is using nutrition and exercise (which are awesome) as a Trojan horse to promote nonsense: - removing fluoride from water - promoting ineffective therapies (ivermectin for covid etc) - various anti-vax rhetoric We all agree our food environment needs changing. This other stuff is just anti-science and anti-public health.

One of the hardest things about managing a private practice. The phones. We average about 300-500 phone calls a day in our office.

@Invested_In_You All joint accounts. Figure out how much are fixed costs are and how much to save/ invest. We trust each other on spending habits and both understand the value of money, so not an issue.

My fiancé and I are getting married this week. One of the last things we need to finalize is how we’re going to manage our finances after tying the knot. I need your input… Married people: how do you handle finances and spending with your spouse?

@DrCasteelEM And that’s medication…not vitamins, not herbal remedies, not essential oils Plenty of evidence (not pharma sponsored) proves this Most patients don’t want to hear what they don’t want to hear

@DrCasteelEM As in elementary school When a patient comes in with LDLs in the 200 or BP in 180s/ 100s of fasting sugars in 150s….I’m sorry, diet and exercise NOT vitamins will help you. Those patients are ticking time bomb and need proper medical treatment

There is this pervasive myth in the public consciousness that doctors aren’t taught that lifestyle modifications can treat hypertension, diabetes etc. Not only are we taught this is the first like treatment, we are constantly tested on this fact on all our exams and boards lol.

@DrDiGiorgio Of course, critical portions cannot overlap But setting up the room, closure , and getting the patient off the table can be done by someone other than the attending

@DrDiGiorgio Also, with joint replacements growing as baby boomers age, does one expect to wait 6- 12 months for a joint or get it done within 1- 2 months? You need 2 rooms for that. Countless studies have show similar outcomes without risk between 1 and 2 rooms

The anti-overlapping surgery debate continues. This is the one argument I simply don't understand. Of course, not every patient has access to a surgeon running overlapping rooms. But for the ones that do, it increases their access to care. If that is 5% or 1% or even 0.1%, it still makes a huge difference in costs because we are dealing with such large numbers. This thought process is how we have come to such an inefficient and expensive healthcare system. Healthcare is riddled with rules imposed in the name of "safety" that dramatically decrease efficiency. Each rule may only decrease efficiency by a slight amount, but it all adds up. Add an extra few clicks to the EHR here, add an extra hurdle to getting surgery done there... all of a sudden you have our current system. Even worse, these interventions were never tested to see if the tradeoff in safety was worth the drop in efficiency. Many of these rules certainly don't improve safety, yet they impose costs on efficiency. If safety measures required the same FDA process as pharmaceuticals, many would never be implemented. Yet, they are, and we have a labor productivity curve that has been flat since the 1990's. We must be mindful of new "safety" measures and demand evidence that the tradeoffs are worth it. Decreased efficiency, higher costs and less access to care affect patient outcomes, also. Just in less measurable ways. Lets make healthcare efficient again. @anish_koka @SpineNeuro @drdanchoi @MayaBabuMD @EconTalker

I have questions about the argument that simultaneous surgery increases access to care. I have seen several people say this. Isn’t most surgery in this country performed in the community, away from resident/fellow training programs? Maybe not for something highly specialized like CT surgery, but I would be interested to see the case volumes of simultaneous vs non-simultaneous surgeons Also, this whole discussion has been about elective surgeries. Surgeons scheduling simultaneous cases. On call emergency cases must work differently, right? If you are on call and scheduled to do a valve replacement and an emergent case comes in to the cath lab, surely there is a mechanism in place to make an attending available for both cases?
