  3. Stop Replacing Our Doctors!

    Physician/anaesthesia assistants are employed more & more, many working beyond their scope. #Patients have #died due to #PAs working above their #competencies

    Trusts still advertising for PAs/AAs when role requires a doctor, many of whom face #unemployment

    Patients are confused by various ‘consultants’ who are NOT #medically qualified. They think they’re seeing a #doctor

    This should NOT be future of #OurNHS!

    To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:

    1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the #doctor making the determination the #treatment was not #medically necessary;

    2) copies of all materials they relied on to make their determination;

    3) proof the doctor making the determination has maintained registration in your specific state and #documentation of their meeting all their continuing #education #requirements;

    4) the aggregate rate at which similar treatments are denied vs approved by the specific doctor being used for peer review.You are not entitled by #law to *all* of these things in most #states, but you're entitled to some of them, and you can always ask for them.

    This is, she says, a wildly successful tactic, because if the insurance c#ompany answers them honestly, it gives you #evidence that the"doctors" making these determinations are practicing #medicine out of scope, without proper #licensing and #qualifications, in areas they are not competent in.

    Everyone knows this is true; it's not a secret in any way. But it's in violation of a number of regulations, and a LOT of times the company will just give up and pay the bill rather than handing you proof they're violating the regs. It's a tactic that has worked for me many, many times.

  6. Chap walking #dog this morning said "Jack Russell" in a sort of warning manner.

    I said it was OK, I'd got #breakfast planned and didn't need to #snack, and smiled at him.

    #Medically #prescribed high dose #steroids are fun.

""#aborted #fetuses are not #technically #lives and it's #harmful and not #medically #accurate to refer to them that way" and "#people who have early #miscarriages of wanted #pregnancies are still #allowed to grieve and consider them their #child" are two #statements that can and should #coexist"

    ""people who made the difficult #decision to have an #abortion #because it's right for them and their #situation are still allowed to grieve how things could have been if their #circumstances had been different" is another statement that should be added"

  9. We’re Still Getting Our Pandemic Preparation Horribly Wrong

    Yes, plans to develop a vaccine in 100 days have taken center stage at global forums and in “next pandemic” conversations.

    But plans to #protect #poor, #minority, and #medically #vulnerable populations,
    all **overwhelmingly represented among the more than 100,000 Americans that died in the pandemic’s first 100 days**, remain conspicuously absent.

    As journalist Amy Maxmen has written, “If pandemic preparedness plans leave out discrimination, labor protection, fairer wages & access to healthcare and education, we fail again.”

    The usual rule is: Once burned, twice shy. Yet the United States remains a tinderbox for new infectious pathogens to be set alight.
