Value-based care was supposed to save healthcare. In some cases, it created a new incentive: getting rid of the sickest patients. In a recent episode of The Podcast by KevinMD, Dr. Jonathan Bushman reveals the dark side of healthcare analytics. He shares the story of a young physician whose management removed patients with high A1Cs from her panel to secure a contract bonus. We have to stop mislabeling this as burnout. Burnout implies the doctor is the problem. Moral injury recognizes that the system is broken. Physicians are trained to heal, then told to show up and shut up by systems that view patients as transactional data points. Dr. Bushman breaks down the irony of non-profit health systems chasing metrics, the reality of value-based contracts, and how Direct Primary Care restores physician autonomy. Episode is in the comments. #ValueBasedCare #MoralInjury #MedTwitter #HealthIT

🩺 Sex during neutropenia — what should we tell patients? JCO Oncology Practice: • ❤️‍🩹 Sexual health remains important for quality of life during cancer treatment • 📉 Evidence for strict sexual restrictions in neutropenia is limited • 🤝 Stable monogamous partners: condoms not routinely required if partner healthy • ⚠️ Avoid anal sex/fecal exposure, new partners, or sex during severe mucositis • 🚿 Gentle hygiene is sufficient; over-washing may harm mucosa • 💊 Condoms may be used briefly after chemotherapy to protect partners from drug exposure 💡 Takeaway: counseling should be individualized and evidence-informed, not based on outdated blanket restrictions. 📄 ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/OP… #HemOnc #Neutropenia #CancerCare #QualityOfLife @IMG_Oncologists @oncodaily @HemOncFellows
