🚨 Behavioral health workers at Kaiser Permanente are striking for better conditions—and state officials are stepping in.
Kaiser’s billions shouldn’t come at the cost of worker dignity or patient wellbeing. Workers deserve respect, fair pay, and safe conditions. Patients deserve better.

3 months ago today @DanaherCorp & @CepheidNews dropped the price of the main #TB test, making diagnosis more accessible. But what about the tests for #XDRTB (deadliest form of TB), #HIV, #hepatitis & others? ALL the tests need to be more affordable. #PeopleOverProfits #TimeFor5 #xdrNEXT #patientsoverprofits #Tuberculosis

It’s time for cheaper tuberculosis tests, #Danaher. It’s #TimeFor5. Lower the cost of tests for multi-drug-resistant TB and let’s save some lives. #Gubbins4Good #PatientsOverProfits #Cepheid

Glad to see the public pressure campaign by #MSFAccessCampaign #TreatmentActionGroup #JohnGreen et al push #Danaher #Cepheid to provide their #tuberculosis tests at cost to communities most in need.
For background - a public plead by John Green:

#Danaher’s announcement is really great, but it’s like giving food to a starving person while charging them $50 for a bottle of water. XDR multi-drug-resistant TB tests need to be accessible to those who need them, too. #PatientsOverProfits #Cepheid

Write your state and federal officials and ask them to sign the Patients Over Profits pledge! It's as easy as sending a couple texts!
Text "Sign PHFNGI" to 50409 to send a letter to Congress
Text "Sign PKLUUG" to 50409 to send a letter to your governor and state legislatorsThe Patients Over Profits pledge was introduced by National Nurses United and other health care advocacy organizations. This pledge states that a candidate or elected official will not take contributions over $200 from executives, lobbyists, and PACs affiliated with the hospital, insurance, and pharma corporations and instead pledge to put the health, well-being, and safety of their constituents over corporate health industry profits.
Learn more, and see which politicians have signed already, at https://patientsoverprofits.org

What’s the point of not choking, if you can only eat puréed food for the rest of your life?
What’s the point of not falling, if you have to leave the home you grew up in?
What’s the point of not getting a blood clot from hormones, if you cannot be your true self?
What’s the point of safety, if life is miserable?

A patient was told she was getting heartburn because she's getting old
She was 63 years old
Just because someone is getting older
DOES NOT mean that they're supposed to get sick#EndAgism #MedMastodon #MedTwitter #Geriatrics #Dementia #Medicine #dignity #PatientCenteredDesign #PatientsOverProfits #PatientFirst

Disease guidelines based on numeric age will eventually become obsolete
Better guidelines consider physiologic age
Function
Cognition
MultimorbidityAnd most importantly, What Matters to the patient

A patient was sad today because they’re stuck in the hospital after a fall, was told to go to rehab, but had no way to look after their pet bird
The bird is the only thing living with them for the past 7 years
Pet is family
Health care is multifactorial
We can do better#MedMastodon #MedTwitter #Geriatrics #Medicine #dignity #PatientCenteredDesign #PatientsOverProfits #PatientFirst

Do you have patients who didn’t pass swallow evaluation?
I did today
Until I called family
And retested when family was presentPatient passed in a single try with flying colors
Family is an *integral* part of the patient care team

We *should* expect patients to pull out IVs&try to get out of bed
It's not normal to be tied to IVs
It's not normal to be in bed all dayOur job *is not* to stop patients from pulling lines/getting out of bed
Our job is to help patients get as close to *normal life* as possible

A happy reminder that many hospitals in the world 🌟encourage🌟 patients to wear their own clothes, eat in the dining room with other patients, and exercise in group as part of physical therapy
Dignity
Independence
CommunityIt’s all possible
