Looking for the best PODIATRIST to join our team! WeTreatFeet Podiatry is a leading podiatry group that offers a wide range of services to help people with foot and ankle problems in Maryland, Washington DC, Pennsylvania.

The future of Podiatry is here: AI isn't replacing doctors, it's driving precision. From AI-powered diagnostics for ulcer risk to robotics in surgery, data is the new foundation of care. Investing in tech (and tech education) is the smartest medical economic move. #Podiatry #AIinHealthcare #MedTech

AI isn't just a diagnostic tool in Podiatry; it's an economic game-changer. From predicting ulcer risk to streamlining prior authorizations, embracing tech is the only way to move from cost-shifting to true value-based care and save millions in limb salvage. #Podiatry #MedicalEconomics #AIinHealthcare

From 3D printing custom devices to predictive analytics, podiatry is on the cutting edge of tech-enabled care delivery. #3Dprinting #FutureIsNow

@DutchRojas I’m in. Where can I sign up?

There are 1.08 million physicians in the U.S. That’s not a workforce. That’s leverage. If even 10% coordinated capital, contracting, and advocacy, they’d shift healthcare power overnight. The problem isn’t Congress. It isn’t payers. It’s fragmentation. 1.08 million individuals are manageable. 108,000 aligned is unstoppable.

It’s snowing in Baltimore, so a man can dream. #podiatry #snow #winter #soles #beach #medicine #medicare ⁦⁦@We_TreatFeet⁩

The rise of AI mandates a new doctor-patient conversation: educating patients on how technology informs—but doesn't replace—clinical judgment. #PatientTrust #InformedConsent

Yahoo Health just ran a smart piece on a question I get all the time in my office, what’s the real difference between walking shoes and running shoes? Followed by does it actually matter for your feet? Check it out. linkedin.com/posts/drmikeld…

@LighthouseDPC @We_TreatFeet Agreed

@DrMikelDaniels @We_TreatFeet No one will put a $ value on it. Not one. Interesting isn’t it?

I try to explain this daily #doctors are #underpaid, #overworked, and #burning out #podiatry @We_TreatFeet

For me, I don’t want to harm my EM colleagues. If we refuse to take call without compensation, they (and the patients) suffer The “suits” don’t care until a regulatory agency calls them on it . #problems #medical #oncall #burnout # surgery

I interviewed an internal medicine physician who says the medical system relies on a massive amount of unpaid labor to function. We call it "taking call." Dr. Corinne Sundar Rao joined me to discuss why the traditional model of physician on-call compensation is a primary, yet rarely discussed, driver of burnout. For decades, taking call was simply baked into the job. You worked your full clinic day, you were on standby all night for the hospital, and then you worked a full schedule again the next day. It was justified by the "calling" of medicine. But as Dr. Rao points out, the complexity and volume of modern medicine make this model unsustainable. Other high-stakes professions, like commercial airline pilots, have federally mandated rest periods. Yet surgeons and physicians are routinely expected to make life-and-death decisions on zero sleep, often for little or no extra pay. Dr. Rao argues that "call" is a euphemism for extracting free labor from physicians to cover the hospital's unassigned patients. We have seen successful solutions before. The hospitalist and laborist models proved that we can turn endless, tethered responsibility into defined, compensated shifts. But many specialties are still trapped in the old paradigm. The result? Physicians aren't complaining; they are simply disappearing. They are dropping out of traditional practice, moving to concierge models, or leaving medicine entirely. If hospitals want to solve the staffing shortage, they need to stop relying on altruism to subsidize their 24/7 operations. Call is labor. And labor must be paid fairly, transparently, and with built-in rest protections. 🎙️ Listen to "Physician on-call compensation: the unpaid labor driving burnout" on The Podcast by KevinMD. 📷 Search "The Podcast by KevinMD" on Apple or Spotify. #KevinMD #PhysicianBurnout #HealthcareWorkforce #MedicalCulture #PhysicianCompensation #PatientSafety #HealthcareLeadership

We need to advocate for a single national standard for health data exchange. Poor medical economics thrive in a fragmented information environment. #DataStandardization #PolicyChange

There was a time when unlocking a car door meant walking around, key in hand, to open it for someone else — a simple, intentional act. It wasn’t about the mechanics of the lock; it was about the moment. That small gesture said, I’ve got you. Then technology made convenience king. The car fob let us unlock everything from ten feet away, and with it, we quietly retired one of the easiest ways to show basic courtesy. But maybe chivalry isn’t measured by doors at all anymore. Maybe it’s texting “text me when you’re home,” waiting outside during the rain, or remembering someone’s coffee order. The form changed — the intent should not. The fob didn’t kill chivalry. We just stopped looking for new ways to show it.

I disagree. Using Ambient AI ADDS time to my documentation. You have to double check for errors or omissions. Here is a partial list of things my AI has said. Patient had significant nail growth described as "three pounds of toenail." You think I'm a get a bill for that? Patient mentions having a cat at home that "thinks it's a dog. stating 'I can't sleep flat anymore' and 'I sleep in the autocliner in the living room This needs to be corrected before signing. The only way you save time is if this isn't removed and you have strange things (to be generous) in the notes

@DrMikelDaniels The economics are brutal: $2.1M to replace one physician. Ambient AI scribes saving 2 hrs/day per doctor. At scale, that's $500K+ in recovered productivity per physician per year. Burnout isn't just a wellness problem — it's a balance sheet crisis.

Physician burnout is an economic crisis. AI tools that automate documentation and scheduling are essential relief mechanisms. #BurnoutPrevention #EHROptimization

@LighthouseDPC @We_TreatFeet How much is your life or health worth? Answer that, and you have something

@DrMikelDaniels @We_TreatFeet I ask everyone who says Doctors are overpaid what is a fair Hourly Wage for a Family Physician? The cheapest average Hourly Wage for a lawyer is in West Virginia, $195/hr. It’s $350/hr here. So what is a Fair hourly wage for a Family Physician? attorneyatwork.com/solo-and-small…

AI can analyze thousands of patient charts to identify optimal post-operative protocols faster than any human literature review. #EvidenceBasedMedicine #Research

The "medical home" concept must fully integrate specialty care like Podiatry to be economically effective for chronic disease management. #IntegratedCare #ChronicDisease

The synergy of robotics in surgery and AI in planning promises new levels of precision for complex foot reconstructions. #RoboticSurgery #FootReconstruction

AI-driven risk scores should be used by insurers to incentivize preventative podiatric visits, not just deny high-cost procedures. #IncentiveDesign #HealthInsurance

The movement towards direct patient contracting is a disruptive medical economic model circumventing traditional insurance hassles. Podiatry can lead this. #DPC #DisruptHealthcare
