It's a good reminder that talk is cheap and money has an impact on #medicalstudents and #physicians.

"...We find that these policies in turn affect the type and quantity of medical care physicians supply in the short run; retirement timing in the medium run; and earnings affect specialty choice in the long run."

Also I didn't include the link to the paper:

"...the California Medical Association, which represents physicians, is again fighting proposed increases in the fee, which was unchanged for more than a decade before being raised in 2021 after a contentious debate. Now lawmakers want to boost the license renewal fee to $1,289 every two years, up from $863 currently...A July working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that physicians’ annual earnings average $350,000 across the U.S.."

Physicians play a critical role in the battle against bunk. Studies consistently show they remain one of the most trusted voices.

Truly an honour to speak at the #CMAHealthSummit about countering the spread of #misinformation. Energizing to hang with this wonderful community! 🙏

I just wrote a sentence in a #priorauth denial appeal letter that I really liked. Sharing it here for other #physicians:

“If you deny this test, you are effectively practicing medicine without a license and going against the standards of care in oncology”

It is appalling that #physicians have to fund raise to get the GMC to do its job to address the death and disability that Dr Malhotra caused (and continues to cause). But here we are. #Misinformation

New study on #COVID19 #misinformation spread by US #physicians.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2808358

Two highlights:

1. "Approximately one-third of the more than 1,100,000 confirmed COVID-19–related deaths, as of January 18, 2023, were considered preventable if public health recommendations had been followed."

2. "The propagation of COVID-19 misinformation was attributed to 52 physicians…across all regions of the country."

Communication of #COVID19 #Misinformation on Social Media by #Physicians in the🇺🇸

📌 COVID-19 misinformation has been spread by many people on social medial platforms, but misinformation spread by physicians may be particularly pernicious.

📌 This study’s findings suggest a need for rigorous evaluation of harm that may be caused by physicians, who hold a uniquely trusted position in society, propagating misinformation

The actual doctors say he should have been rushed to the hospital because the few words spoken when he was able to speak 12 minutes later did not convey he was done with whatever was going on with his #frontal_lobe.

Is #AI taking over your #hospital care? Should you worry? Reality is much more reassuring, as #physicians use computers to help them figure out how best to help you, this physician explains.

Are there kinks? Sure. So here’s what you need to know about the evolving systems, and what to ask when you or a loved one is in the hospital.

#Doctors typically interrupt patients within 11 to 18 seconds. It can be intimidating, flustering, frustrating. So this physician explains what you need to make sure you explain during any doctor visit—regardless of the reason you’re there—and how to make sure you get your points across and your questions answered.

In medical slang, a ‘comprehensive physician’ is a term for doctor that wasn’t brought up on cucumber sandwiches, perrier and soggy biscuits.

#Psychiatrists use the term to describe an emotional wound sustained when, in the course of fulfilling their duties, soldiers witnessed or committed acts — raiding a home, killing a noncombatant — that transgressed their core values.
Doctors [..] of America’s profit-driven health care system were also susceptible to such wounds, (they) submitted
