FYI, @juliezweil and @washingtonpost.
It is fundamentally dishonest to imply doctors are charging 10× more when you’re describing hospital-owned clinics.
The title is dangerous and be misleading.
The physicians are employed facility fees are only paid out to hospital owned clinics.
Your title for a pay walled article is dangerously irresponsible
Who owns the clinic, sets the prices, and collects the fees?
Let me start with screw the @washingtonpost they are crap journalists.
These are hospital-owned clinics. The hospital controls the billing and collects the facility fee.
Yet the Washington Post puts “doctors’ offices” in the headline, leaving readers with the impression that their physician is behind the markup.
Misleading BS
Patients deserve to know who sets these charges and who collects the money.
If the hospital is charging the fee, put the hospital in the headline. Physicians shouldn’t have to answer for a billing policy their employer controls.

A one-size-fits-all approach won't cut it. Research reveals distinct differences in #ACLinjury rates among female soccer players across ages and tiers. Tailored prevention protocols are key. Details: medilink.us/y6s2 #SportsScience #Medtwitter @aossmjournals
High-grade pivot shift reflects rotational instability after ACL injury. The study examined whether MRI measurements of rotational tibiofemoral position and other factors can help predict a high-grade pivot shift under anesthesia. medilink.us/85c3 @ArthroscopyJ #medtwitter

AI in health care goes beyond ChatGPT. 🤖 Computer vision and generative imaging could improve image quality, surgical planning, and registry augmentation while preserving patient privacy. @prem_ramkumar

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
Navigation can assist w/cam resection, but its accuracy needs evaluation. This study measured residual deformity volume/location and evaluated whether residual cam deformities produced simulated impingement on postoperative CT. medilink.us/0wyo #medtwitter @ArthroscopyJ

Long-term data matters in total hip arthroplasty. This study evaluated the 10-year clinical outcomes and survivorship of modular dual-mobility bearings in primary total hip arthroplasty. @JArthroplasty medilink.us/l6sn #medwtitter

🚨 OBAMA ON AI: "If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI and having it just roaming free in the internet. The reason you are doing that is because you have to market a product that people will pay money for.
That’s a misalignment between what our society needs and the commercial imperatives that these companies are facing, not because necessarily they’re trying to do bad things, but because they’ve got to justify these valuations.
So, that’s one more reason why it is really important for us to have a competent government and a serious bipartisan conversation around this issue, and we have to do it fast. And I would encourage voters to pay attention to this. If somebody does not have a serious plan for how to deal with this, then they’re not meeting the moment, and you should probably look for somebody else."
