I see time (past, present and future) as a box filled with unimaginable number of pixels. Each slightly different than its neighbor. You weave your journey starting somewhere at the bottom and choose your way up to the end of your time. Your path is your story of time.

Do we need the federal government at all??
Nathan Bradley@biggestnate

@MarindaVannoy1 Shut the federal government down for one year, minus essential military and a few other essential functions like air traffic control. Then let us vote on whether we want it back AT ALL!!!

Doctor: Your LDL is elevated. Given your age and the new guidelines, we should discuss statins. Patient: I'm 31. I exercise. I'm not overweight. Doctor: Your 10-year risk puts you in the borderline category. Patient: What's driving the LDL? Doctor: Genetics, diet... Patient: My fasting insulin is 4. My triglycerides are 68. My HDL is 82. My CRP is undetectable. Doctor: The LDL is still elevated. Patient: So the transport vehicle is high while every single inflammatory marker is optimal. And that concerns you. Doctor: The number... Patient: Which number? Because the ones that actually predict outcomes all look perfect. Doctor: I'd still like to discuss statins. Patient: I'd like to discuss why you're looking at the wrong number.

Everybody in America should just register as an Independent voter. If the psychos in DC don't know which "side" you're on they won't know how to manipulate and divide us. It would confuse and throw off the whole system.

An elderly patient starts a blood pressure medication. Gets dizzy → falls → breaks a hip → dies. The cause of death is listed as the hip fracture, not the medication. The statistic that “medications are the third leading cause of death” is likely an underestimate.

@noahkaufmanmd They recently passed a law to ban any new doctor's run hospitals which were much more human friendly and better in all other aspects. Which is why our government banned them.

Please please please let us doctors run healthcare (again). We tried it your way and patients are dying. All you care about is money. It’s time to tear this system down. Patients and doctors are PISSED. We need EVERYONE’s help. Please help us. Please go independent.

Private equity firms bought 500 hospitals. Death rates in their emergency rooms went up 13%. They fired 12% of the staff. Then they paid themselves billions in dividends. A Harvard study just confirmed what doctors already knew: people are dying so investors can hit quarterly targets. Exactly what happens. A PE firm buys a hospital using debt. The debt gets placed on the hospital's balance sheet, not the firm's. Now the hospital owes hundreds of millions it never borrowed. To service that debt, the hospital cuts costs. Costs mean nurses. The numbers from the Harvard/University of Chicago study are horrifying. After PE acquisition, emergency department salary spending dropped 18.2%. ICU salary spending dropped 15.9%. Hospital-wide employees were cut 11.6%. Emergency department deaths rose 13%, seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits. A separate study found patients undergoing surgery at PE-acquired hospitals had 17% higher odds of dying within 90 days. Steward Health Care, owned by Cerberus Capital, filed bankruptcy with $9 billion in debt after closing hospitals across Massachusetts. The CEO lived on a $40 million yacht while emergency rooms went dark. Eight hospitals serving 2 million people nearly disappeared because a PE fund extracted more cash than the system could survive. The private equity industry has poured over $1 trillion into healthcare. They operate a quarter of ERs nationwide. This isn't going away. The investing angle nobody talks about. Non-PE hospital operators like HCA Healthcare (HCA) and Tenet (THC) are the direct beneficiaries. Every time a PE hospital closes or deteriorates, patients flow to the nearest competitor. HCA has returned 1,200% since 2011. Patient volume from PE closures is a structural tailwind nobody's pricing in. Medical staffing firms (AMN Healthcare, Cross Country) charge premium rates specifically because PE hospitals cut staff. The staffing shortage IS the business model for these companies. The disruption play: outpatient surgical centers (SCA Health, now part of UnitedHealth) are pulling profitable procedures out of hospitals entirely. PE-owned hospitals lose their highest-margin surgeries to outpatient, and the death spiral accelerates. Pull up tradevision and monitor healthcare M&A alerts, hospital closure filings, and patient volume migration data. When a PE-owned hospital announces "restructuring," the patient volume shift to competitors like HCA starts within 30 days. That 30-day window is when the competitor's earnings revisions haven't updated yet. Free to try. (a private equity firm bought your local hospital. borrowed $500 million in the hospital's name. fired 12% of the nurses. emergency room deaths rose 13%. then they paid themselves dividends. nobody went to prison. they're currently buying another hospital.)
