“In 2017, immigrants helped offset a $67 billion deficit in healthcare costs for US-born citizens by paying $58 billion more in taxes and premiums than was spent on their healthcare; 89% of this surplus was attributed to contributions made by undocumented immigrants” www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
Texas Executive Order GA-46 and the Erosion of Trust in Health Care | NEJM
A new Texas policy could deter immigrants, both documented and undocumented, from seeking help for serious medical concerns. Consequences of this measure may reverberate widely.

BMI has limitations in categorizing someone with obesity. We need alternative methods to diagnose obesity so we do not overdiagnose or underdiagnose the disease.

This month I made $4,052 from "side hustles" between social media engagements and pre-residency advising... nearly double what I make biweekly as a chief endocrinology fellow.
Food for thought: what does it say about trainee physician salaries when side gigs can pay more?

More than 15,000 doctors sign letter urging Senate to reject RFK Jr. as health secretary
Their letter calls the choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is known for promoting false medical claims, “a slap in the face” to health care professionals.

Do we think this change in telehealth coverage for Medicare will really go into effect in 2025?
Genuinely asking as someone interviewing for jobs which depend on telehealth to provide care to underserved pts or at institutions who don’t have physical space for more physicians to see patients

Any ideas for an interesting Endocrine Grand Rounds topic?! Not too broad, timely, clinically relevant.
Unsurprisingly, I have done all my grand rounds thus far on #MASLD so looking for something different :)
