Numbers tell the truth & how Physicians are being unfairly scapegoated for the rising costs of medical care.
@SastryAshok “the physician is likely an indentured servant in a corporate practice;his boss is not the patient but some private equity/MBA who is making alot more money than the physician.Secondly,the EMR has destroyed doctor/patient relationship especially for older docs.(1/2)”
@docladyblade “PCPs literally have 3 minutes out of a 15 minute appointment to spend with each patient. They’re beaten up for RVUs and spend their evenings finishing charts in terrible EHRs. So what do you expect?”
@j_thepa “APPs exist so we can help doctors give the best care to patients, help doctors not stretch so thin. We can help with work load.
Let us help residents not kill themselves or not quit. Let us help them have a better life - so they can graduate to be even better doctors”.
ME: Oh, the heartfelt platitudes! The Administrators Class has already figured out the best way to protect their astronomical salaries is with a beefy bottom line. As Gertrude Stein would say about reimbursement, “an ICD-10 is an ICD-10 is an ICD-10.” God help the patients.
@dermhag “Even more troubling for our future than physician burnout, doctor suicide and early retirement of physicians...
THE DEATH OF PHYSICIAN-CLINICIAN MEDICAL INNOVATION IN AMERICA”. Howard Green, MD
ME: When newly minted APRN’s in federally funded clinics announce to patients, “we can do anything doctors can do”; in face of my 45 years of diagnostic wisdom, I realize medical care has been dumbed down to lowest acceptable care level; to launder insurance $. God help patients!
@DermHAG “Exactly Laurence we’re creating the equivalent of China’s Barefoot doctors for the American uber masses.” @SeemaCMS @MAACPGovernor @ChristineSinsky

ME: Nothing wrong with inexpensive user friendly barefoot doctors. The rub comes when medical business autocrats so significantly discount the utility of physician skills that even laypeople recognize eroded medical service standards & loss of opportunity for effective diagnosis.
