It’s not just hospitals, ownership of physician practices needs attention. PE @teamhealth owns the Crozer ED contract. PA physicians should be consulted as well. @PAMEDSociety @aaeminfo

anesthesiologynews.com/Comme… Read this if you want to know how a short-sighted, profit-based decision (hospital selling out anesthesia services to private equity) can absolutely tank hospital culture, quality of life, and patient care. This is happening everywhere.

First we had an emergency room. As we provided more and more services, we grew into departments with dozens of beds. Now all our beds are filled with inpatients and we once again have a single emergency room - one that we used to call the waiting room.

Truth. The bedside docs need to use their power to get PE out of EM. Let’s hold those who have allowed them into the sacred space of EM accountable.
Corporate monopolies rob patients and muzzle #EPs who are afraid they’ll be fired for speaking out, say Drs. Robert Derlet & Mark Borden, but that’s exactly what #EM needs to do: Talk to the media and write to their legislators. #PEoutofEM bit.ly/3SQGXXj

Don’t let the a-fib distract you! Take a step back and make sure it’s not a reaction to sepsis or a symptom of thyrotoxicosis. Don’t fix the numbers - treat the cause!

It isn't true that facts never change minds. They just don't change minds that are already made up.
If you see your ideas as identities to defend, you twist and resist data to rationalize your views.
If you treat ideas as hunches to test, you embrace data to update your views.

Today, Denmark lifted all restrictions & COVID-19 is no longer deemed a "societal threat".
I led the country's largest behavioral covid-project (@HopeProject_dk) & advised the Danish gov.
Here are my thoughts on how DK got here, what can be learned & what lies ahead.

The specialty of EM has allowed PE backed companies to strip the bedside docs of due process, an essential right to allow physicians to advocate for vulnerable ED patients. journals.lww.com/em-news/Ful…
@RobertMcNamar12 has long decried role of private equity in #EM and has submitted resolution calling for @ACEPNow @EmergencyDocs to exclude groups and #CMGs from college if they sacrifice EPs’ #dueprocess to hospitals to win contracts. #PEoutofEM @aaeminfo
