Wow! What an incredible Grand Rounds by @DrRayMD 👨🏾⚕️ on systems of inequality and racial disparities in medicine!
One of my patients (who labels himself a #PriorAuthSurvivor) diagrammed the unnecessary complexity of trying to get his medication approved on time 👇 Rinse & repeat and this is a cyclic nightmare that has nothing to do with chemo but rather the bureaucracy of US healthcare
Lost a patient in the CICU tonight; she had a massive pulmonary embolism. Code Blue & resuscitation attempts lasted over 2 hours. She had a history of DVT and was supposed to be on anti-coagulation but hadn’t received her meds “for months” because of insurance authorization.
Thank you Dr. Pass for the opportunity to share our research! #PedsICU #pedscards

To Ralph Norman, the Congressman of the great state of South Carolina, You say it is “obnoxious” for taxpayers to be responsible for the loans of others. Well sir, we did a little digging and it turns out you had $306,520 in PPP loans forgiven. Every penny of that was money…
link.springer.com/article/10.100… Great job by Dr. Aronoff and team! Her first of many papers showing the benefit of exercise for those with CHD. No matter the location, exercise can help those with CHD live more active lives! @CincyKidsHeart @CincyPedsRes @GlocoFitCHD @naspem @ACSMNews
1.2 seconds per denial of the recommended treatment by the patient’s personal doctor. Admitting they don’t even look at the information. Cigna reported a 24% increase in profits in 2022 up to $6.7 billion dollars.
7/ Medical directors can then approve the denials without opening a patient file. In Jan. 2022 alone, Cigna medical directors used PXDX to reject more than 150,000 claims, spending an average of 1.2 seconds per denial.
One “medical director” denied 121 THOUSAND claims in 2 months. That’s ~ 350 claims an hour. They’re supposed to review the medical record. This is illegal. Do something. @Hickenlooper @laurenboebert @MichaelBennet @GovofCO propublica.org/article/cigna-…

I don’t usually brag about our residency program, but today I’m gonna make an exception. Like other children’s hospitals, we’re managing a surge in respiratory illness. But unlike most hospitals, we’re gonna pay the residents who work extra overnight/weekend shifts $100/hour.

Hey @AnthemBCBS Have readmitted a teenager with Crohn's to the hospital, extremely ill. Her BMI is 12. Her gastroenterologist prescribed Humira -- denied. Would you like to talk to this family for me, since you're making the the medical decisions here? @DGlaucomflecken
Banned in Pennsylvania A biography called StarStruck portrays an actual (non-violent) Police encounter in my teens. From my apartment building’s roof, they thought my telescope was a weapon. Apparently they don’t want you to see what can happen between Police & people of color.
If the another country killed 19 American kids and decapitated them we would already have wiped them off the map The only thing congress has done since Texas is go on recess
JUST IN: Republican leadership just sent out a notice telling all House Republicans to vote against common-sense gun safety bills tonight because the NRA opposes them— they told them all to refer to the Protect Our Kids Act as the “Unconstitutional Gun Restrictions Act.”
“Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.” -Charles de Gaulle, 1969
Marjorie Taylor Greene has leaned fully into nationalism: “Nationalism is a good thing.” “We should be proud of an America First nationalism.” “Christian nationalism” is not “something to be scared of.”
We should reinstate the ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines that we passed in 1994. In the ten years it was law, mass shootings went down. After Republicans let the law expire in 2004 — and those weapons were allowed to be sold again — mass shootings tripled.
