@InvestingDoc Are you able to get this info for other companies as well?

Well United Healthcare has pissed me off enough for me to download 8TB of data and my computer has been running since last night going through these json files to parse out what united healthcare is paying other clinics in my area. It is now a federal law that all health insurance companies have to provide Machine Readable Files for what they pay hospital and doctors for each code. Problem is, many of these files start at 125GB and are very difficult to deal with. I'm going to show them to their face that I am using their own data to show them I KNOW how bad they are screwing my group in terms of pay. I doubt this will get me anywhere but worth a shot. @UHC by far the worst healthcare company in my opinion who clearly doesn't care about their patients keeping their doctor.

@Jonathansegal85 @IldikoMe @DocCohenIBD Thanks. Unfortunately at this point the only way forward is to attempt to eliminate Hamas. I don’t see any realistic scenario where Israel can live with Hamas running Gaza after they live streamed their barbaric murder of women and children for the world to see.

@Marcfenster1 @IldikoMe @DocCohenIBD Thanks Marc. Believe me when I say I’m am analysing absolutely every detail ( as I try and do) to make sure my opinion is informed accurate and where possible based on fact. As I’ve been challenged I’m trying to see if my opinion is inaccurate I promise.

Some of the cleverest people who I’ve worked with and have nothing but respect for having polar opposite views on the #IsraelPalestineConflict. Mostly split down religious beliefs…. It’s just too complicated to make any sense of it all.

@Jonathansegal85 @IldikoMe @DocCohenIBD The one you retweeted yesterday does not give any real suggestions. Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, dragged its own citizens out of their homes and evicted them. They got a terrorist state on their border in return.

@Marcfenster1 @IldikoMe @DocCohenIBD Been a few good commentaries on suggestions- retweeted one yesterday. I like to state Israel has absolutely the right to defend itself and should! I guess one point of contention is what extent. I get your side of things- it’s an existential threat- I’m still weighing lots up

@Jonathansegal85 @IldikoMe @DocCohenIBD @Jonathansegal85 genuinely curious- how do you propose israel respond to murder of 1400 people and kidnapping 229? say let’s have a cease fire and hope it doesn’t happen again?

@IldikoMe @DocCohenIBD As you know always happy to stand alone for what i believe even if unpopular. I’ll always respect you and your opinion but perhaps on this occasion we see things differently ( I think that’s ok). I wish everyone in the region peace and a solution to this all.

3 questions for the global far left: 1/14 Here’s the 1st question: How many Jews need to die before you stop blaming us for everything that happens? Because on that dark Saturday 2 weeks ago, 1,400 were murdered. How many more do you need? Ten thousand? 6 million?

No, CNN, there aren’t “two sides” to the Gaza hospital story. Go do your goddamn job.

Make no mistake: Hamas is trying to show a “humane” face (“we’re taking good care of a hostage”), but this is what they actually did: - Burnt whole families - Shot a 6-month old baby in the head - Burnt a one year old baby - Cut the head off a baby - Shot a father that was covering/hugging his wife and 2 children, and then shot them - Handcuffed two teenage girls and burnt them alive - Slaughtered hundreds of innocent partiers - Kidnapped an 84 year old woman So don’t buy Hamas’ cover up. Share so the world knows: Hamas=Nazis.

Imagine the worst things possible that can be done to humans. Hamas did all of that and more to Israeli civilians. Babies beheaded. People burned alive in their homes. Women raped and dragged through the streets. Don’t look away.

Gastroenterologists and hepatologists, what are your feelings on the stethoscope? Important diagnostic tool or merely an accessory to make you "look like a doctor" (see Clooney Fig 1). This @AmJGastro #RedSection piece may make you rethink your answer. journals.lww.com/ajg/Fulltext/9…

@FezaRemziMD @drkeithsiau @Uk_BowelDoc @KMonkemuller Dr Larry Brandt teaches all of his fellows not to retroflex in the rectum. Potential for complications and can get a full view with careful inspection.

@drkeithsiau @Uk_BowelDoc @KMonkemuller I am respectfully questioning that . Rectum and anal canal can be assessed rather than potentially dangerous & dangerous technique at least IMO , no need

Many of you know I love timelines & I have been updating the one on IBD trials/studies for some time🧵 The landscape is changing fast & there isnt enough space here to share all the content As such I have created a website to collect it all and to make it interactive

This entire review is good to save to brush up on uncommon, but easily missed/delayed diagnoses. Definitely things to consider if your basic algorithms aren't leading to an adequate response. #GITwitter #MedEd #MedTwitter

Tofacitinib failed in clinical trials for Crohn's disease This may be partly due to the trial design and partly limited by the dose We have used it off-label with some success in a handful of patients The TROPIC consortium reported effectiveness in a cohort with n=79
