Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵

I was recently told that testosterone is required for success in interventional cardiology. Let’s not confuse aggression with ability #ACCIC #cardiotwitter

How to explain discrepancy between RA sat 70% and PA sat 35%? patient with severe HOCM cardiogenic shock likely precipitated by episodes of AF. PA sat normalized after a few hours on VA ecmo. Too big a discrepancy to explain by ultra low coronary sinus contribution?

Receiving the Medal of Freedom from my friend @BarackObama was a great, great honor. I'm proud to have dedicated my life to serving this country — but I'm not done yet.

Today, we will still show up. And smile in Zoom meetings. And round on patients. And submit papers. And be “essential”. But inside? We know we are not valued or respected. When we get home tonight, we can be murdered in our beds, and our killers will walk free. We are tired.
