When I was an intern in the Navy I learned a valuable lesson from a CDR radiologist. Portsmouth Naval Hospital had a very limited number of CTs they could do each day. Prior to ordering a CT, you had to call a radiologist who outranked you and asked you the following questions: • Why does your patient need a CT? • What do you expect to find? • How is this finding going to change your management? If you didn't answer these correctly, there was no CT for your patient, and you were yelled at. Every time I order an imaging study, I ask myself these questions. If I can't answer the questions, there is no imaging study ordered. This one radiologist has saved the country hundreds of thousands of dollars by scaring the #### out of all of the interns.

"return the agencies to the gold standard, empirically-based, evidence-based, science & medicine that they were once famous for." Also, they are greatly concerned about conflicts of interest and regulatory capture. As a doctor, these are things you should welcome. You said: "evidence has shown vaccines don’t cause autism". The problem is that there are longstanding concerns and claims that there is evidence to the contrary. The appropriate response from the scientific community is to take those concerns seriously - not just dismiss those who raise them. One of the main reasons there has been such as massive loss of public trust in the scientific and medical establishment during Covid is the way it responded to legitimate dissenting views.

@PTPintcast Try Blue Sky if you want… but like the gyms in January. Expect X (and all SoMe platforms) to go crazy around political hot points. It will return to normal soon…

Twitter/X has been our largest platform over the last 9 years. But.... it doesn't feel like there's a lot of interaction going on here anymore? And the interaction that IS here doesn't feel... how do we say this...? "Good" You guys actually reading this? If you do can you give me a proof of life comment?

A key component to #MAHA is Physical Therapy. Look at the literature showing effectiveness in preventing and managing chronic disease. Time for leaders in the PT profession to move on from social justice virtue signaling and focus on our vision using our area of expertise!!

Chills! Powerful ad by @xx_xyathletics in honor of Real Womens Day tomorrow. 🔥🔥🔥 It's not hard to stand up for women and girls, so why won't @Nike just do it?

One of the most frustrating things about being a healthcare provider on social media is that the algorithm favors extremes whereas most of health is about balance.

@JDVance 87,000 IRS agents and they sent me a late notice because they applied my tax payment wrong. Took me an hour on the phone to figure it out. #biggovernmentbigproblems

⁨⁨1) Kamala Harris claims she wants to cut taxes for middle class families, but here's what's in her plan: IRS Audits for working families: Getting audited is a horrendous experience, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to hire 87,000 IRS agents to audit more people. As recently as last summer, 63% of new audits fell taxpayers earning less than $200,000. The IRS, like Kamala Harris, claims that it’s not going to increase audits on people making under $400K, but the Treasury Inspector General stated the agency’s strategic plan, “did not include specifics on how the IRS was going to ensure it met this commitment.” That’s because they have no intention of ensuring they’re not going to audit middle class families—that’s where they’re going to find the money to pay for their massive spending proposals. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, under questioning in the House, could not deny that 90 percent of new audits under the IRA would be on households earning less than $400,000. The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office found that the majority of additional taxes the IRS recommended from audits from 2010-2021 came from taxpayers with income less than $200,000. It’s even harder to pretend that taxing working men and women isn’t their focus when you think about the reporting requirement Biden-Harris signed into law to require businesses to fill out a 1099K form on transactions over $600 made using third-party payment platforms. The reporting threshold before their bill was $20,000. There’s no minimum number of transactions in their bill, so a single transaction over $600 that triggers the reporting requirement creates more paperwork. Even Senate Democrats have backed different bills to blunt the impact of this enormously burdensome mandate. The Government Accountability Office found this aspect of the Harris tax record would result in at least 30 million new 1099K forms getting sent out in 2024. The Joint Committee on Taxation found that over 90 percent of the tax burden will fall on middle class families and gig workers. The Biden-Harris tax plan, as explicitly outlined in their formal budget request to Congress would increase taxes by $5 trillion. That’s going to stack on top of her inflationary climate spending bills and drag the economy down further. It’s been estimated that “the tax changes in the Biden-Harris budget would reduce long-run GDP by 1.6 percent…wages by 1.1 percent, and employment by about 666,000 full-time equivalent jobs.” That’s nearly a million people out of work and lower wages for everyone in order to shift money towards the Harris Green New Deal—as she said to CNN in her first interview after nearly a month as the Democratic nominee, her values haven’t changed on that policy, which she supported enthusiastically when she was in the Senate. All in all, the Biden-Harris record has been a massive wealth transfer from working people to the Green New Deal’s constituencies—the Harris tax plan is going to be more of the same, no matter what kind of claims she makes during the campaign.⁩

It has been 50 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. In the dead of night yesterday, she finally released her campaign policy page. Here's what I think of it 🧵

👍Appreciate this hardworking team. Thank you APTA MA delegation for participating in the 2022 APTA House of Delegates. #MembershipMatters #APTAMAProud

@jglinn @HoboHealth @shinbonePT We should perhaps teach more billing ethics in PT/PTA programs - define what 1:1 means, pull up these examples of what can happen. Too often a lack of understanding is taken advantage of and new grads are “taught” the “correct” way to bill once they are hired.

@HoboHealth @EricRobertson We’d save more money if we apply further. No free medical care for conditions related to obesity if BMI is too high, no free care for lung cancer if the patient smoked, no free care if person injured in MVA didn’t wear seatbelt...wait🤔🤷🏼‍♀️

This.

@SkylerDixonDPT @KurtBPT @bribaleeee Complete with monthly payment options!

Just renewed my APTA membership and for the first time I actually debated if it was worth it which makes me sad

@CarleyRissman Remember this and thank you for your willingness to step into the arena.

@DPT2Go Thank you!

Imma leave this here so I don’t take it back home with me - I’m not checking any baggage on my way home! #physicaltherapist #aptahod

Here's a quick rundown of the centennial events that you can view via livestream. #APTA100 apta.org/article/2021/0…

@jilliant_dpt @Aptaofma @mkmurraydpt @HeathJenningsPT Can’t wait to see you!!

Great group of delegates representing @Aptaofma this year!

Prior authorization can result in admin burden, delayed care & time away from patients. APTA-supported bipartisan legislation, the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act, will reform the use of prior auth by Medicare Advantage plans. bit.ly/3eM7YdD #PTAdvocacy
