@LeahHoustonMD Why must commenters make it adversarial? Great surgeons can't do our jobs without great nurses and support staff and equipment. And those team members can't do surgeries without us. The big companies obstructing and delaying care to profit off human suffering are the problem.

#Nurses: Trying to get in touch with @NIAIDNews (a doc) emails bouncing. Presumably, operations...affected. On website directory giant list, no clue who to reach out to - decided to just look for #RN regardless of sub-specialty. Bc an RN will figure it out. THAT is nurses. 💕

BLACK WOMEN COUNT. Are we seriously@going back to POC counting as a fraction of a person??? Is the fraction 0/3??? This is so far beyond the limits of decency. businessinsider.com/gop-senator-la…

Accountability matters. If this patient suffered a complication due to her surgery being interrupted, being sent home that same day, etc., the doctor has all of the liability. The insurance company has none. This can change. What are we waiting for??? x.com/BillAckman/sta…

Yesterday, I made a critical post about @EPotterMD and her experience with United Healthcare. I took it down when my office heard from the Clare Locke firm which represents UNH which called and stated that the doctor’s claims were not true. We have used Clare Locke and think

Human suffering is infinite Blame, Anger, Fear, Hatred: infinite Compassion can also be infinite Mourn each loss. Pray for each terrified/injured/hungry/sick/kidnapped/orphaned child Compassion for one need not diminish compassion for another Love & peace are not betrayals 🕊️

CP, OCD, Cancer - imagine a cardiologist's office "not taking pts w these dx". Unthinkable. #EDS : "outside scope" used by every specialty. Abdominal pain: GI "doesn't see EDS pts". Orthostatic Intolerance: Cards says same. #MedTwitter See @TheEDSociety @Dysautonomia for CME

It isn't a rare case - it is a common one. In our practice, we work hard to mitigate every possible risk factor that might prevent need for fusion of an unstable head-neck junction or upper spine. And sometimes we reach the end of that road. Sometimes we meet the patient late...

5/5 This is fixable 1. Insurance companies are essentially organized crime - pay for protection, price escalates, protection decreases, repeat. Lose a battle, may wind up dead. #REGULATE @SenateDems 2. Physician education about #EDS, #CCI #AAI #POTS #MCAS,etc. Pretty Simple

4/ Not being able to see specialists who can really take the time to sort through the most complex cases and work collaboratively with patients on plans; Not being able to make your own choices for your own healthcare for a debilitating and life-threatening condition...

Reunited w friend from college who toured prismsj.com today! Me: when you found out I had EDS, did it make so much sense? Him: no, actually. I was shocked! Me: Don't you remember me having to be carried up and down stairs a lot? Him: that wasn't bc you were drunk?

These break my 💔 but dogs can teach us so much. A person can go through this type of transition in so many ways, too. And they might look exactly the same to us before and after. Bc we can't really see someone just by looking.

10 weeks apart. That was her daily life and the end of the road for Faith. Now she looks like a million dollars, has a lovely safe home to go to and her healthy is back. You just love to see it ❤️ (7/7)

@isabelunraveled Marry the person you'd want making decisions if you were on ventilator or your child had cancer. If the person you're with doesn't meet that bar, then they're not your person. If you don't meet that bar, make a plan to become someone who does (therapy, mindset, perspective).
