I’m kinda surprised that @nationallampoon and @tylenol haven’t gotten together on a deal for a Christmas season edition of Tylenol, capitalizing on the slogan Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?

Thank you @SCAI for your leadership here. Many, including myself have been calling for this and you’ve clearly listened. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! This is how it’s done. @SCAI is a member/patient centric organization. They have our back. #EndMOC

I just can’t get on board with saying the medical therapy was poor in COAPT, but I’m not the expert here. @GreggWStone and @LindenfeldJoann could answer much better. Further, 2 randomized trials failed to show benefit for MVr w/wo CABG Finally, MITRA-FR patients were much sicker

I would file a complaint if I thought it would do any good. Has anyone done this? We’re a captive audience and so have to use them. Can’t see the @BBBTriCounties being helpful here for @ABIMcert
I just re upped. I’m no longer certified in Internal Medicine but there was no way to unbundle the $220 for this certification so I just had to eat that to keep my others active. @ABIMFoundation this is theft. I need a refund for that $220.

FYI this is the form you must fill out if you’re “deactivating” (their word, not mine) any of your certifications. You cannot just let your cert lapse because they will still charge for it until you fill this out. @ABIMFoundation will charge you even though you are not certified.

It’s absolutely outrageous. I’m purposefully listed as “Not Certified” in internal medicine, yet forced by @ABIMFoundation to pay this fee.

The @ABIMFoundation now lists those who have paid for, taken, & passed the certification exam as "not certified" if they don't pay the MOC fee(s). Anyone find this defensible?
