Taking my ABFM longitudinal certification. They seem to like testing for things which have only level D recommendations. Why would you ever test on that? By definition there is no good data and expert recommendations only why test on that garbage? #medsky

Big News: This week, Medicare Part D patients will see their annual out-of-pocket drug costs capped at $2,000. We worked to pass this landmark reform that will help millions of seniors afford their prescription drugs.

The Dems who are allegedly open to confirming RFK Jr—a man who pushes grotesque, dangerous lies about HPV & Covid vaccines, & who says he’ll support Trump’s anti-abortion agenda—should be deeply ashamed of themselves

The Red Cross seriously needs to get out of the ACLS game or we need a competing organization. Some of these questions are embarrassingly bad. They said someone was complaining of shortness of breath and they immediately want me to slap a BVM on them?

Another mon-health policy expert here. Can anyone make a reasonable argument about why denying benefits wouldn't improve their profits? It seems fairly self-evident that spending less = more profit.... but I imagine the topic is complicated

Telehealth was something disabled people had spent years begging for. It’s a game changer when you have an energy limiting chronic illness.
It’s hard to imagine any legitimate reason to remove it - it will cause harm.
Let patients access care in the way that is safest for them.

Most Medicare coverage for telehealth is set to end soon unless Congress acts. I reported on how this is a bad situation for the millions of people who rely on telehealth to more easily get medical care for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Little discussed fact: Choosing to not “treat” high blood pressure makes you look like a wacko to the nurses and CRNAs/anesthesiologists in the real world where I practice
