@BofA_Help is there seriously no way to verify a person that doesn’t involve going into a bank branch in person ? The year is 2023. Will you pay for my ferry ticket and travel time to go to a BOA branch or provide a different solution?

@BankofAmerica the year is 2023 and somehow the only way for your fraud department to verify that I am real is to physically go into a branch with two forms of ID. Your nearest branch is over 2 hours from my house and isn’t open on the weekend. You can do better.

@MollieMarr Llamas are awesome. Fun socks with scrubs are important! I went to the Minnesota state fair this year with my friend @ItsTheBrandi and she wrote an article about the Llama costume contest. Some fair in humanity restored by the wholesomeness. #coral_thread" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">defector.com/what-i-saw-at-…

First internal medicine shift of intern year starts tomorrow. Since I’ll be wearing scrubs, decided to be thoughtful about my sock game. Starting off with my “No Drama” Llama socks and hoping it will set a good tone for the day.

@HPECid Requiring primary source verification from every job you have ever worked is cumbersome and outdated. Imagine having to call the DMV every time you showed someone your license to prove it was real. People leave medicine because of the paperwork burden. #medtwitter, #physician

@healthcareandy my understanding is that hypnotherapy has good evidence base. How they are implementing it digitally is obviously the big question. @tovamoada

Saw a company who sells self-directed digital hypnotherapy to address menopause and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? Does this stuff really work?

@healthcareandy Unless the service takes clicks out charting and time out of non patient care hours, how does it make life better for physicians? Many of todays solutions are being sold to hospital admins or self insured employers and insurance companies. Not surprising.

Most physician offices I speak with don’t want your fancy software or VC-backed services. They want another medical assistant.

“DEA is soliciting comments until 11:59 p.m. on March 28, 2023. Anyone may submit comments – anonymously or otherwise – via electronic submission at this link. When commenting, refer to “Docket No. DEA-407” on all correspondence, including attachments."

foley.com/en/insights/pu… The DEA's new proposal for prescribing controlled substances after the PHE is over is deeply problematic for several reasons. My biggest concerns are 1) privacy, 2) Cost, 3) Administrative Burden #telemedicine #Psychiatry

Requiring people to be licensed where the patient is and where they are creates an even higher overhead cost, and prevents prescribers from working when traveling to conferences or visit loved ones, even when there are no technological barriers.

Cost) Managing these additional requirements including documentation will require major overhauls to the EMRS and prescribing platforms being used, and the cost will be passed on to the prescribers
