One of the most underappreciated dynamics in healthcare is Parkinson’s Law of Triviality: organizations devote disproportionate time to the issues that matter least. In behavioral economics, it’s called “complexity avoidance.” In healthcare, it’s usually called “the weekly meeting” or sometimes referred to as “the huddle.” We’ll spend hours debating badge colors, committee names, logo refreshes, and which department should ‘own’ a metric - while multimillion-dollar structural failures, workforce collapse, and catastrophic billing inefficiencies glide by untouched. The harder the problem, the faster it gets tabled “for further discussion and research.” The easier the problem, the louder the opinions - suddenly everyone’s an expert. This is why health systems have immaculate branding guidelines but chaotic revenue cycles. Why they can produce a 200-page “cultural competence” report but can’t reliably staff a night shift. Why they optimize hallway signage faster than clinical throughput. Why they talk about all the community service that they produce yet none is ever actually observed or experienced. This is why dilettantes are rewarded and brilliance is punished. Healthcare doesn’t suffer from a lack of goobers, gomers, and grifters - it suffers from a gravitational pull toward the trivial. And nothing accelerates that gravity quite like a conference room full of administrators with laptops.

@TRHLofficial I mean what more evidence do you need than this? People hate health insurance companies, but they fail to focus on the underlying villain in the story.

Shout this from the rooftops! Nice to see an optimistic post about private practice in the US

Dear Independent Physicians, You are about to witness something most people won’t see coming. For thirty years, search has been a commodity. Google indexed the world, everyone played by the same rules, and differentiation became impossible. The algorithm was a dictatorship that treated a two-person practice in Vermont the same way it treated Mayo Clinic. AI is about to change that completely. When search becomes conversational, when an AI actually understands context, nuance, and human concern, proximity, personality, and trust suddenly matter again. The machine can no longer hide your humanity. In fact, it’s about to become your greatest asset. Here’s the shift: patients won’t search for “cardiologist near me” anymore. They’ll ask an AI system something deeply human. And that AI will be trained to recognize something most algorithms miss: that patients want a doctor they can trust, not just clinical credentials. Brand is no longer vanity. It’s infrastructure. An independent practice with a genuine voice, real community relationships, and authentic expertise will appear differently to an AI than it does to a machine. Because AI can read between the lines. It understands reputation. It recognizes when someone actually cares. This is your moment. Build your presence not for algorithms, but for how you actually practice medicine. Write about what you believe. Show up in your community. Let the AI discover you, because it will, if you give it something real to find. The future belongs not to the practices that game the system, but to those brave enough to be themselves. That’s worth fighting for….

Okay im not saying Tylenol causes autism but this study debunking that claim that is being circulated appears to be very flawed and I don't think the people posting it are reading it critically jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

@Dizzy_DPT_Dad Aetna is better. Aetna Medicare is trash. UHC Comm is trash. UHC dual complete is better. Which also make no sense

Medicare vs Medicare Advantage Avg Reimbursement for a 4 unit PT session: Medicare: $100 MA plans: Aetna: $70 Humana: $75 ($20 copay) UHC: $85 Anthem: $80 ($30 copay) MA is built on the construct of paying providers less while maximizing insurer profit w/ taxpayer $$

@neiltyson Freedom is not granted by the tyrant. Freedom is taken the moment a man decides that he is free in his heart and in his spirit. It is a philosophical statement, that we were not free the day the British agreed to it, we were free the moment we chose to be.
