@DrSpratticus @ChapinMD @urotoday @UroOnc @Uroweb @wandering_gu @BogdanaSchmidt @CanesDavid @DrMLChua @HimanshuNagarMD @AmarUKishan @piet_ost @alison_tree @declangmurphy Is it needed? Rarely. I do it for new patients for BPH & elevated PSA referrals because I noticed some patients get mad if I don’t do it. I still get patients who schedule themselves for “annual prostate exam” because they have been used to getting one every year, which I dont do

#EAU26 DRE not recommended for asymptomatic men.
What are people’s thoughts on need for routine DRE in era of MRI?

@cenkuygur Um OK but 70+ years ago most of their neighbors vowed to wipe Israel off the map and have not abandoned this so...
English

You know Israel's Knesset voted two years ago to never allow a Palestinian state. Meanwhile, the liars in our media pretend the real issue is Israel's existence. In reality, it's Israel that won't let a Palestinian state exist and says that Palestinians will never have their freedom.
We're funding a fascist state in the Middle East that is attacking all its neighbors, doing endless terrorism against civilains in the region and driving us into never ending wars.
This is all brought to you by the liars in Washington and the liars on television. They all work for their beloved Israel and against our interests.
They minimize the slaughter and oppression of Muslims and Christians in the area. And they pretend Israel is the victim when they know Israel is the aggressor.
As Israel continues to expand its territory, the liars say that you should ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.
Then they add insult to injury by trying to oppress any American who dares to defy Israel. They try to eliminate any critic of Israel in national media or politics who doesn't kneel. They call them names, try to assassinate their character, so that no one can object to Israel's reign in America.
Then the outrageous liars in national media tell us they are the objective ones. The exact opposite of what's true. And the outrageous liars in Congress tell us they are our representatives. The exact opposite of what's true.
On the 250th Anniversary of our nation, we need to find our independence again. But this time from Israel and all of its servants in America.

A big milestone — performed my first skin-to-skin Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AMS 800) insertion under the expert guidance of @Loz_clarke79 ! 🙌🏻
Grateful for great mentorship and the opportunity to develop in functional & reconstructive urology. #FRU @moazzbutt @bsc_urology

@SPuro88 @LoganWesemann Not necessarily toxic, but small minded.
English

@LoganWesemann This is a good thing. They just gave you an insight on how toxic their program is.
English

On the interview trail, a program director told me it’s easier to consider an MD than a DO because “at least they went to an MD school.”
As a DO student, that was discouraging.
How would you respond?
How can we improve the system?

This has been a terrible week for urologists on X
ADM Brian Christine, MD@ADM_Christine
Dr. Casey Means has an unexpired medical license, practiced medicine and treated tens of thousands of patients for 11 years, and is fully qualified to serve as a Medical Director in the USPHSCC. The USPHSCC needs more doctors—especially ones that graduated with top honors from Stanford.
English

Modern electronic health records are so dysfunctional at organizing information that many health systems now hire full time nurse practitioners or PAs just to “pre chart” before clinic. Their job is to dig through pages of clutter and produce a usable summary so the physician can safely see the patient.
Think about that.
Hospitals spend tens or hundreds of millions on an EHR that promises efficiency, integration, and better care. And then they turn around and pay six figure salaries to humans whose sole task is to manually summarize what the software should have been able to synthesize in the first place.
English

@omarsaleemmd I spend 2-3 hours pre charting each clinic. Immensely helpful and also time consuming. Would love for an AI assistant to populate PMHx and PSHx etc. instead of having to manually input it from Care Everywhere mining. And pull in relevant labs, imaging etc.
English

underrated.
precharting has more impact than AI ambient scribes ever will.
both in time and outcomes.
a) spend more time with pt
b) context aware visit, know whats been done before, improves communication, diagnostic acumen and overall experience
c) less documentation

@DrDiGiorgio Precharting is one of the next wave of AI solutions and it’s perfect for that.

@alextatem @SPuro88 You need one of those all-inclusive packages and I can get them to come from Philly. Flights, hotel, transportation, meals, and a concierge one day work up.
English

@billyjaffe @SPuro88 This is another problem private practice solves. 😂

@SPuro88 Only because it's not on my decision tree but I got you bro. And I see what you did there. Very good. Only if you meant it.

@billyjaffe I’ve been trying to see you for months for my buried penis and I can’t get in.

@CanesDavid This is what I have been doing for years. Also no objections.
English

Tip for new docs:
If a patient comes to your clinic from a facility (retirement home, group home, assisted living, etc), they often hand you their own paper form for you to fill out describing your impression and plan.
The answer is: NO.
Just print out your note from the visit, and give it to them instead.
In 20 years of doing this, nobody has ever objected.
Don't do double the work for nothing. Don't just say yes to illogical workflows.
Provide great care. Don't be a documentation monkey.
