One time the ER sec accidentally paged me instead of neurology. I let the resident present on & on about stuff like headaches & CSF, yada yada. Then I told her I was urology.

I couldn’t.

(I’m not against duty hours, just pointing out this guy is an idiot).

I’m at the health policy guys office and I’m still waiting for coherent policy that will protect patients and health care professionals & not pander to the insurance, hospital & pharma industries instead.
I’ve been waiting my entire life. Why can’t policy people get it done?

Crazy a guy can work in healthcare policy and not know how day to day healthcare works.

Got off a peer-to-peer call with a physician who proudly stated he doesn't see patients anymore because 'this is all I do.'
