I love that the replies to this are people rating the episode, completely missed the point, (obv haven’t played the game but that’s ok). *Sigh*
This is either deliberately disingenuous or poster doesn’t know how medical payments work. “amount billed” means nothing. You can bill $1 million if you want. It’s the amount paid and amount you owe. These are pre contracted amounts with the ins co. Billed is totally irrelevant.
This is MY school district. Watch the commentator AFTER this awful woman. What this video doesn’t show is the literally 20 people that stood up to support the trans student, her rights and the law. I’m so proud I live here.
A mother in Deerfield, Illinois, has revealed that school officials forced young girls to change into their gym clothes in front of a trans-identified male student.
Teachers reportedly monitored the girls so none left the locker room in protest.

Amazing what can be accomplished when you remove the barriers of preauthorization (of which Medicare has none!)

Louder for the people in the back: NEVER BUY A MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLAN. Medicare doesn’t require prior auth! Private insurers do and will find ways to deny things!!!! It is the biggest scam of all time.
Hey @Aetna @AetnaHelp
Shared with patient permission
We submitted prior authorization on 1/2 for a total knee replacement on 1/22 for a Aetna Medicare advantage patient. It was denied on Saturday 1/18 over the holiday weekend. Now your representatives are saying that since we didn’t appeal on Saturday, the surgery is denied and we need to restart the entire approval process. Additionally, no option was given to appeal the decision. We have spent 2+ hours talking to your staff with no recourse given.
This is inappropriate. Saturday was a holiday weekend. The patient’s family took off work and flew in to support her during the surgery. The patient has failed multiple documented rounds of non-operative treatment, and has a successful knee replacement on her opposite leg. Her X-ray below clearly demonstrates bone on bone arthritis.
This is a clear violation of Medicare guidelines.
Another example of the need for the passage of S.4532 Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act

One of my favorite quotes I heard from an ICU doc in residency: Surgeons say, “don’t just stand there, do something!” and Med docs say, “don’t just stand there, talk about it!” 🤪
Hi everyone who still follows me, I’m headed over to that new place, where the weather is clear, skies are blue and beautiful. It’s wonderful there and I’ve found so many long lost friends. We need an ENT presence, so join us! I’ll be here infrequently. Love you all.
The tears haven’t come yet, but they’re close. Hug your loved ones tight. I look and my young kids and…just pray.
I just can't. Every time I think it can't get worse, it does. The thought that anyone chooses to be LGBTQ bc of social *advantages* lives on another planet.
The ugly toxic masculinity never ends. And the hatred and violence won't either unless we send a clear message on Tuesday.
The patriots at Normandy, Selma, Seneca Falls and Stonewall. I love it. *That* is the America that I know and love, and that I will fight for. #KamalaHarris
It was the opposite at my house 😢
OH MY GOD... i don't think I have ever seen the men in my immediate family express this much pure joy.
Not christmas
Not birthdays
Not actual human births
There are no words.

Uh…pro tip…don’t stick a needle in that.
A 60-year-old patient presented with odynophagia and dysphagia. Upon clinical examination, a left-sided erythematous oropharyngeal bulging was observed. A puncture was performed revealing dark bloody fluid. A CT scan was conducted. What is your diagnosis? ja.ma/3XOWZW5
Let’s not forget most oropharyngeal cancers. People don’t care about cervixes because it’s “only women”. Tell them they will never be able to eat or swallow normally, it’s a different conversation.

I really want to evangelize that untreated OSA is a huge cause of ED. I bet all the men who think CPAP is unsexy/unmanly would act very differently if they knew…
Well here is something fun you don’t see everyday…anyone want to take a guess as to what this is?? 😊 #ENTsurgery @DrScottFortune @JohnCraigNose @ent_ams
Just so we are all clear…this is the *external* jugular vein…not the internal, which is what people refer to as “going for the jugular”, and not what doctors look at when looking for jugular distention…#iykyk
