@GhostHause @AtelierMissor_ I mean, how would they remove it once it's there? lol

@AtelierMissor_ Man, I need to get rich enough to commission a 200ft bronze Vegeta for my front lawn. Will be tricky to get this one past the HOA, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

A lot of people have been asking us, so: We can build a 30-ft bronze statue for around $1 million. A 100-ft statue for $5 million. A 200-ft statue for $20 million.

@MarioBojic @RenaudCamus I’m sure he expects Americans to pay for all that too. And I’m sure our politicians will acquiesce.

@boriquagato @AJKayWriter I love population science experiments.

the university of california dropped the SAT and the preparedness of STEM freshmen plummeted so precipitously that they were having to reteach middle school math. and from this you learn "we should drop the MCAT from med school?" this certainly seems likely to improve the diversity of poor medical outcomes...

@JamieMetzl You sound fun 🤩

UFC fights on the White House lawn are a desecration of the White House, America, our history, and the dignity of the office of the presidency.

Then why are outpt surgery centers significantly cheaper than big hospitals? You can shill for big hospitals all you want but the reality is, yes, they are fleecing the American people and ripping the physicians off, and the only reason they’re allowed to is bc of regulatory capture. Get rid of the taxpayer handouts to hospitals and insurance companies, and let market forces determine cost. I guarantee physician and nurse pay will go up and overall cost will go down, there will be more physicians and nurses who are willing to work. Care will be better. But no, it won’t happen bc the communists have taken over America and in 20 years there will be very few American trained physicians. Only NPs, PAs and foreign docs. Bc if the status quo continues, no American will want to be a physician. But you keep shillin’ I’m sure it’s working for you. Tell me this, what happens if all the hospital administrators and billers and coders go away? Healthcare economy adjusts and then improves. Now, what happens if all the doctors and nurses go away? You don’t have any healthcare at all. Good luck with that buddy.

No, I'm a certified medical biller working on the insurance side. I've worked in hospitals, as well as small medical offices. Let's be clear: that building, with the sterile operating room and cutting-edge equipment onsite and trained nurses and support staff and on-call top-flight specialists the surgeon can call if you have a heart attack or stroke on the table, is expensive. Just because it's not as noticeable and immediate as the surgeon doesn't mean they aren't necessary. And they all have to be paid for. The surgeon wants that infrastructure to do his job. That's why he works with that hospital. And you want it, or you would have gone to Stu's Surgery and Auto Repair out of some guy's garage. The hospital is not "fleecing" anyone. They are charging what it costs to provide all the things everyone demands of them. If you really want healthcare to cost less, the place to start is for people to stop expecting a third party to pay for every single thing you might ever want done. And I say that as an employee of one of those third parties in question.

A surgeon I know recently operated on a man's spine. Saved his mobility. Saved his career. Saved his marriage, probably. The surgeon's take-home on that case, after the facility fee, anesthesia, device costs, payer discounts, and overhead, was $1,840. The health system collected $64,000. Ask yourself who the system thinks did the work.

@Gfunk0000 @ScienceFocusonX From your eyes. The diarrhea comes out your eyes.

@ScienceFocusonX Side effects are blindness and explosive diarrhea.

Reading glasses might be done. The FDA just approved a once-daily eye drop called VIZZ that sharpens near vision in about 30 minutes and keeps it sharp for up to 10 hours. One drop. Each eye. Per day. That's it. The active ingredient is aceclidine, a compound first used back in 1975 to treat glaucoma. Scientists figured out it could be repurposed to gently shrink the pupil, creating a "pinhole effect" that pulls close-up text back into focus, the same trick your eye does when you squint. Unlike Vuity, the 2021 drop that came before it, VIZZ doesn't mess with your focusing muscles. So no blurry distance vision. No brow ache. No weird zoom effect. It was tested across more than 30,000 treatment days with no major complications. Cost is roughly $2 a day. This matters because presbyopia, the age-related slide that hits most people between 40 and 45, already affects more than 120 million Americans. By 2030, the World Health Organization expects around 2 billion people worldwide to have it. LENZ Therapeutics, the maker, started rolling out samples in October. The squint era is ending.

@GrammarJedi01 @DutchRojas You must be a hospital admin lol. The only reason the hospital is getting paid more than the surgeon is bc of regulatory capture. Repeal all the laws that allow hospitals to fleece Americans and the surgeon makes more but the overall cost of the procedure goes down.

The surgeon didn't do that operation in a vacuum, you know. Unless he threw up a card table in a storage room somewhere, he did the operation in a sterile operating room provided by someone else, using equipment provided by someone else, with support staff who also had to be paid. There's a whole lot that goes on behind the scenes to allow the surgeon to simply walk in and do his job without having to think about anything else. And he knows it perfectly well, however much he might want to grouse. He knows where that money went and for what. He also knew when he signed the contracts with his physician group how much he was going to get paid.

@jasonfx Interesting. What is the experience like for the average Chinese citizen? I imagine not everyone can afford 11k. US healthcare system is on this insane doom spiral bc of this unholy trifecta between the government, big hospital and insurance companies.

Our second child was born in China, while our first was born in the USA. Some notes for those curious. ➡️Cost: USA $70,000 (Deductible: $12,000) vs. China $11,000 all-in, paid up front at a top private hospital in Beijing. ➡️Shots: Both require Hepatitis B and vitamin shot, and also put goop in the eyes. China has an addl BCG vaccine for TB that USA doesn’t require. The TB rate in China is 10x USA’s, but decreasing. ➡️Hospital Stay: 2 nights in USA, 3 nights in China ➡️Bathing: 1 bath ~24 hours in USA, no bath needed in China. In most cases I think it’s better to wait. ➡️Room: China’s room was 50% bigger than in the USA and included a queen bed for the mom to rest in after birth. Other notes: ➡️Giving birth at a public hospital is less than $800 all-in, but more crowded and more rushed. Might need Chinese insurance ➡️All the doctors in the private hospital speak English, the hospital is modeled off USA practices. ➡️Staff was much more patient and kind in our hospital vs in the USA. ➡️Can skip or delay shots in China and the USA, just sign waiver. ➡️One month post-partum center stay: $12,000 for 24 hour baby care, daily doctor’s visits, 6 meals for the mother, and guest meals for one guest. This center is located near a major park, and it’s like staying at a hotel. The USA should make these available for new moms! This is probably a major reason why we chose China over the USA for baby 2

@PalmerLuckey @mcuban I would say the solution is the free market but ppl will have a problem with that. So I think the second best option is a two tier system similar to Australia. Tort reform and the govt taking on the medicolegal risk would allow the public option to run leaner.

@mcuban The biggest hospitals etc are already running the system more or less as they want. The question isn't what they would do with less government control, it is what kind of competition would spring up. Doctors would be allowed to start/co-own hospitals again, for example.

Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?

@Okie_Rancher @PalmerLuckey @mcuban That’s for the market to decide. Not the government.

Doctors are the worst businessmen on the planet … you don’t want them running things. Diagnosing? Treating? Absolutely. Accounting, business planning, hr. Bad idea. I pull physician clients out of business scams regularly and they always wait too long to tell anyone they got ripped off out of sheer ego.

@NC7983 @robertsepehr @Greene_Thoughts @BreitbartNews You’d see it all burn before admitting you’re wrong. That’s the spirit.

@robertsepehr @Greene_Thoughts @BreitbartNews Why isn’t dismantling white male focused societal conventions not a good deal? Why isn’t giving groups, such as women and no -whites more opportunities to maximize their potential. Why is aiming for diversity in groups making decisions bad, as they clearly come up with better2)

@WallStreetApes I support her choosing to believe that as long as she leaves and tells all her Gyptian friends to not come.

Muslim woman at University of Houston in Texas says Egypt is a much better country than America “I'm a woman in an Islamic State. I've lived in Egypt my entire life. I just moved here 2 years ago. Genuinely, my life there, infinitely better than my life here. Infinitely better — It's way more fun. I feel way safer. Way safer. I've never had to walk out at night and think, "Oh, I should have pepper spray on me." Never. Ever. There's no place where you would go in like Cairo, Alexandria, whatever, where you'd feel actually unsafe” She’s asked about Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Would she be safe there to walking around as a woman. She says she doesn’t know Maybe she should go back and live in Egypt because let me remind you of the laws there Shaw Law family laws for Muslims - Men have unilateral talaq (divorce) rights; women must go through courts - Inheritance: Women generally receive half the share of male relatives. - Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslim men but Muslim men can marry Christians and Jewish women - Polygamy is permitted for men - Blasphemy / “Contempt of Religion” Laws that criminalizes ridiculing, insulting, or showing contempt for the “heavenly religions” Penalty: Up to 5 years in prison plus fines - De Facto Criminalization of Homosexuality. Laws 10/1961 and Penal Code provisions on “debauchery,” “public indecency,” and “immorality” are used Up to 3 years per charge can stack to longer sentences, plus fines. Police reportedly use dating apps for entrapment LGBT individuals face arrests are prosecutions - Extreme Protest Laws - Requires advance notification to police for gatherings of 10+ people. - Gives authorities broad power to ban, reroute, or disperse protests on vague “national security” or “public order” grounds. - Effectively bans most peaceful demonstrations

@DrDiGiorgio And your firstborn -epicstiltskin

It’ll only take 57,269 clicks to get it.

@DrCorriel I agree, unfortunately, I don’t see it changing anytime soon. There needs to be an internship, residency, or fellowship specifically for physician advocacy and policy that pulls a few docs into becoming lobbyists. Idk.

Don’t think it will happen in our lifetime. They’re too busy working/seeing patients, can’t seem to come together bc too many specialties/differing requirements and compensations, and have been so heavily guilted/indoctrinated that many don’t actually see how badly they’re taken advantage of.

I wrote this because the conversation around physician workforce shortages keeps circling the wrong target. Telling future doctors to commit to 20 to 25 years of full-time clinical practice sounds noble until you look at what the path actually costs. Medical school is not free. Training is not light. The years are expensive in money, time, family life, health, and opportunity. If society wants a service commitment, then society can fund the education and make that agreement clear before someone signs up. Until then, a medical degree belongs to the person who earned it. Physicians are already screened for discipline, endurance, delayed gratification, and the ability to survive a long academic obstacle course with a stethoscope waiting at the finish line. The better question here - that keeps getting ignored - is why so many capable, committed physicians eventually feel pushed toward the exits. If we want doctors to stay, we need to build a profession they can afford to enter, survive, and stay in.

@ssdhall Oh Mercy. This’ll get interesting. lol

What the heck is a “nurse surgeon”?
