There is not only structural racism in medicine, there is structural misogyny. EM is no different where the "Old Boys Network" is alive and well. When the cronies are at their best, there is no meritocracy. You can be the best physician you can be but if one does not fit in their

Dear Student Doctors and Unmatched grads, DO NOT allow yourselves to be used as free labor by any medical institution or facility. You are not indentured servants who are required to put your lives at risk for the business of medicine. If they want you to work as

2)medical or nursing assistants, they should pay you as such. Do not agree to work as RNs because you are not. RNs are a specialized discipline and trained accordingly. They are in demand and being paid their worth...finally. They deserve it. However, the powers that be don't

3)want to pay. If you work for free, they can attempt to use nurses less just to get by and save money. Don't do it. It harms you, it harms the patients and it disrespects the nurses who deserve every f***ing cent they get paid. If the facility is short-staffed, that is an

Envision does it again. First, there was the removal of a gaggle of anesthesiologists in Watertown, WI(

). Then it was their powerpoint on how to save money and increase profits in the ER by using BC EM docs less and FM/IM docs and NPPs more. Then they

2)devalue interns, stating they add slowness and complexity to the EM doc's day. Guess they forgot when people are in training, it takes time to learn s**t right. Now an Envision contract(yes, it's been validated) which requires EM docs being hired to join ACEP. This is utter BS.

3)Since when can an employer mandate a physician to join an organization? It's the physician's choice. No one else's. Kudos to the EM physician who sued EmCare for wrongful termination after he complained about patient safety issues. For those who don't epmonthly.com/article/26m-ju…

The corporate practice of medicine(CPOM) is killing medicine. It's happened again. Docs being displaced under the guise of providing "continued excellent care" or some other rhetorical bulls**t. Along with the "collaborative" blah, blah, blah hogwash. Sigh....Were I one of the

2)docs reading this letter, I would be offended that Dr. Gard would presume he could dictate who I could speak to about a patient. He doesn't own my license and he has no say. If a doc wants to talk to a doc, no one can say a f***ing word. Their choice if it is their patient.

3)How is dictating the conditions on when a doc can speak to another collaborative? Also, if the team is truly a dyad, then that's one doc to one NPP. Should be no problem if the NPP is presenting the patients as he/she should since Georgia is a non-FPA state. Unless they plan

Every physician, fellow, resident and medical student should read this article. It remains as relevant as the time it was written in 2014. I will share excerpts that I believe most exemplify what we are experiencing today. They thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2014/09/1…

2)clarify the tactics used by corporate entities to control physicians who are strong patient advocates. And my suggestions on ways to take our power back. Unfortunately, the vitriol that docs think we are gods is prevalent. The toxic environment in which docs are trained

3)today virtually ensures that is not the case. Nevertheless, the false claim still prevails. Doesn't help to have virtue-signaling docs perpetuate the hype. Docs, you matter and patients matter. Never forget that, despite the gaslighting.

MedTwitter, this is what a spin to feigned victimhood looks like. In real time. This is intended especially for the virtue-signalers who come in on the tail end of the conversation and never see when the NPPs initiate s**t. This doc asked a simple question. Probably could have

2)left off questioning whether the person was in healthcare as it is triggering. Nevertheless, the instigator's commentary as to why RRTs began is also triggering. And false. And this is where a conversation that could have been civil goes south. So instigator says, "To have the

3)hubris to say because you have a certain degree....". No where did the doc say any such thing. Nowhere. But someone entering the middle of the conversation will think she did. This is how bullying begins and the spin becomes accepted as fact. Instigating unnecessary s**t for no
