thought experiment: imagine that some states restricted healthcare affecting older men (e.g., no access to emergent PCI for STEMI). would anyone hold a conference in those states? nope.

1 truth and 2 lies: 1. TRUTH: MGB dpts that lean anti-union have protected time for union election voting. Pro-leaning dpts haven’t gotten this luxury. 2. LIE: Moonlighting opportunities are harmed by unions. 3. LIE: Striking will be forced upon us. MGB Housestaff United

Amazing news! I will forever question the strategy of these institutions blatantly trying to union bust. They've burned bridges w/ these trainees (& many faculty). The pipeline is heavily from the institution's own training programs. All this... for what... 10% of the vote?

Hey Cigna Healthcare I have a patient in the ICU who needs an urgent heart transplant and we are being told that not only is our hospital out of network for transplant but so is the only other transplant center in the state.

The residents and fellows of Mass General Brigham, one of the largest residency programs in the country, just won our union!!!! 💪💜

Congratulations, CIR/SEIU! This is what happens when you don’t just ask for your rights, but when you organize and take them. The collective power of workers is undeniable.

For Boston to be a strong & growing home for working families, we need a strong & growing labor movement. Congrats to the MGB Housestaff United CIR/SEIU interns, residents & fellows on their hard-won victory for voice & dignity on the job.

🫁How to interpret pulmonary function tests ??🫁 I'm not a pulmonologist but have to deal with a fair share ILDs, here's a simple approach useful in the clinic especially for non pulmonary specialists (1/7) #MedTwitter #RheumTwitter #MedEd

Hi Blue Cross of Idaho. This is my daughter that you tried to deny care for. When a team of expert Drs recommend a treatment, your PharmD reviewers don’t get to deny her life-saving care for your profits. Your alternative rec: “Talk with your child’s Dr about other options”. What?!

Welcome to America where doctors have to resort to social media to fight insurance companies for needed care. Blue Cross of Idaho shame on you.

May you never see this MRI or scar in your own baby and experience the hell we are going through firsthand, reviewers Blue Cross of Idaho. But while you are denying others’ care from the comfort of your office, removed from it all, please remember you are toying with a LIFE here.

You took away time and energy that we desperately needed to care for Zoey and our family. You took away time from my job taking care of my patients. How will you make this right Blue Cross of Idaho ? Many looking at you. #StandUpForZoey #StandUpForAll

This Tue AM, I host the epic discussion btw Aaron Goodman - “Papa Heme” and Richard Baron on the MOC of the ABIM exclusively on #HealthcareUnfiltered podcast. This is a clip from the pod that U will NOT want to miss. It all started with a petition, now with >11k signatures. watch it all

You can condemn terrorism without denying Palestinian suffering. These are not mutually exclusive. You can actually be pro-Israeli, pro-Palestinian, pro-Muslims, and pro-Jews. To do so, however, you must be an actual humanist who condemns terrorism and pursues peace.

Silver Resident | New England Journal of Medicine sometimes silver residents just need to leave medicine. And the lesson they need to learn is to keep their hands and lips to themselves. Odd to see this one hasn’t learned much. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

This is personal to me because the maternity nurses at NYU Langone, including Hesen Jabr, went above and beyond to care for our family, including me the father in shock after an emergency C-section. Watching NYU Langone Health fire one of them for their compassion is beyond disgusting
